The example for configuring the windows installation for visual c++ correctly shows unix style directory formats paths in the prefix:
> perl Configure VC-WIN32 --prefix=c:/some/openssl/dir The document does not state that this is mandatory. i.e. If an MS-DOS style delimeter e.g: > perl Configure VC-WIN32 --prefix=c:\some\openssl\dir If the dos style delimeters are used these will be stored in opensslconf.h verbatim. e.g.: #define ENGINESDIR "c:\some\openssl\dir/lib/engines" #define OPENSSLDIR "c:\some\openssl\dir/ssl" The build will fail at the first use of OPENSSLDIR. i.e. in line 105 of cversion.c (openssl-0.9.8e). Possible solutions: 1. Add note to FAQ 2. Add note to INSTALL.W32 3. Modify Configure perl script to 'correct' the dos delimeters to unix. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List [email protected] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
