I was trying to Generate DLL for SocketCommunication with Open SSL.
For This I downloaded OpenSSL0.9.8k and tried to install in my system.
I followed the steps in Readme File and found that we need to install
1) need Perl for Win32.
2) and one of the following C compilers:
* Visual C++
* Borland C
* GNU C (Cygwin or MinGW)
I tried with Visual C++ and GNU C but I was getting errors...
My openssl-0.9.8k is stored in c:\openssl-0.9.8k
Steps that i followed For Visuall C++
In the command Prompt
a) c:\Perl\bin>perl config.pl VC-WIN32 --prefix = C:/newOpenssl
/* configuring perl...................... */ (Where the
prefix argument specifieswher OpenSSL will be installed to.)
b)c:\openssl-0.9.8k>ms\do_masm
In the VC++ environment( I used visual studio 2005 prompt)
c)c:\openssl-0.9.8k> nmake -f ms\ntdll.mak
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
8\VC\BIN\c1.EXE"' : return code '0x2'
To install OpenSSL to the specified location do:
d)c:\openssl-0.9.8k> nmake -f ms\ntdll.mak install
First, you should be sending this to openssl-users, this is not appropriate
for -dev.
Second, what is 'config.pl'? Reread the docs. You're supposed to use
'Configure' which is a perl script. Also, why are you trying to execute
this from your C:\Perl\bin directory. That's not right, the C:\Perl\bin
directory should be in your path, and you should be running the
perl Configure from within your c:\openssl-0.9.8k directory.
Third, when make fails, it usually helps to return the actual errors
rather than just the last line which is useless. That said, I don't
think you ever actually ran Configure properly.
Finally, I compiled 0.9.8k with Visual Studio 2005 about 2 weeks ago,
no problems, so it definitely works.
