A library built using /POINTER_SIZE=32 is _not_ the same as one built using /NOPOINTER_SIZE? Really? I can see where /POINTER_SIZE=64 would be different. How is /POINTER_SIZE=32 different? (I can also see where it might be important to say /POINTER_SIZE=64=ARGV, when building a main program with 64-bit pointers, too.) > Therefore, the important thing that is needed to be noted for such dummy dr= > eamers like me, that parameter 64 is not equal to parameter "" - and those = > two are not exchangeable.

Define "we". HP supplies SSL$LIBCRYPTO_SHR.EXE, SSL$LIBCRYPTO_SHR32.EXE, SSL$LIBSSL_SHR.EXE, and SSL$LIBSSL_SHR32.EXE. I thought that the whole idea was to get the OpenSSL builder(s) to create SSL_LIBCRYPTO_SHR.EXE/OLB, SSL_LIBCRYPTO_SHR32.EXE/OLB, SSL_LIBSSL_SHR.EXE/OLB, and SSL_LIBSSL_SHR32.EXE/OLB, that is, 32- and 64-bit libraries and shared images. (Even if no one wanted to add the "SSL_" prefixes.) Did I miss something? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Steven M.
