is noone interested in this issue? i've sent this mail more than 2 months ago and i haven't received a single response.
if this problem is abandoned (which is really sad coz this renders the truly native windows version of openssl useless) then i need to unsubscribe from this list coz i get a huge amount of unwanted emails just because i wait for a single reply to my message... -----Original Message----- From: Berke Viktor <berkevik...@aol.com> To: openssl-dev <openssl-dev@openssl.org> Sent: Mon, Mar 28, 2011 4:04 am Subject: openssl with zlibwapi plus some patch hints hi, i'm trying to compile openssl and zlib with visual studio 2010. the problem is, at the end of the build process, ssltest gives me errors, and so does xchat when i try to connect via ssl+zlib (using the binaries built previously). here's some debug info: http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/490/zlibfail2.png yes, it works with zlib1.dll, which is built with mingw (i guess) and doesn't use wapi. steps to reproduce: -- 1) install visual studio 2010 2) grab zlib 1.2.5 src: http://zlib.net/zlib-1.2.5.tar.gz extract it to somewhere. open contrib/vstudio/vc10/zlibvc.sln 3) in visual studio, set build config to win32/releasewithoutasm, then press f7 (build solution). now zlibwapi.dll and zlibwapi.lib is built in the x86 subfolder. 4) grab the openssl source code, i used 1.0.0d, for your convenience: http://openssl.org/source/openssl-1.0.0d.tar.gz extract it to somewhere. 5) create a folder called "zlib-x86" inside the openssl source code. also create the bin, lib, include subfolders in zlib-x86. 6) copy your freshly built zlibwapi.dll to bin, zlibwapi.lib to lib, and zlib.h + zconf.h to include. 7) download this script and save it to the openssl source code root as build-x86.bat: http://pastebin.com/RneQKMpC modify it according to your setup (PERL_PATH, NASM_PATH). in case you don't have them yet, perl download: http://www.activestate.com/activeperl/downloads nasm: http://www.nasm.us/pub/nasm/releasebuilds/?C=M;O=D the install part contains some quirks but never mind, it's just for my setup, and you won't need to install it anyway as it will already fail in the testing stage. 8) open crypto\comp\c_zlib.c and replace the zlib_dso = DSO_load(NULL, "ZLIB1", NULL, 0); line with zlib_dso = DSO_load(NULL, "ZLIBWAPI", NULL, 0); here's a nicer *patch* for it (it should be committed imho): http://pastebin.com/KRg7HFSq 9) open util\pl\VC-32.pl and replace this line: $zlib_lib="zlib1.lib"; with $zlib_lib="zlibwapi.lib"; this also shouldn't be hardcoded, but i can't provide a patch as i'm unfamiliar with perl. 10) open a visual studio 2010 x86 command prompt and navigate to the openssl source code root. 11) run build-x86.bat and wait for the tests to load. you should see "zlib" when it displays "available compression". after a few tests involving zlib windows will display an "ssltest.exe has stopped working" message. if you then click the debug button, you'll see the same as what i provided a shot of in the beginning of my message. -- i'd like to point it out that the build process now only runs in 1 thread. it could be speeded up significantly by allowing multiple processes to run simultaneously. all you need to do is add -MP to the compiler flags in (ROOT)\Configure. i tested it with VC-WIN32 and VC-WIN64A, it seems to work. any questions, please refer to: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb385193.aspx -- greetings, viktor ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List openssl-dev@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
