Steve, I saw your name in fips user guide, so you must be the best person to ask this question.
How can I build fips libeay32.dll with 0.9.7m? I tried MSVC 6.0 and 8.x (aka VC 2005), and got link crash (LNK1000) in First stage of fipslink.pl. The crash seems caused by *.o file built by minGW/gcc though these *.o files didn't cause link crash in building fips_premain_dso.exe.

I started with a fresh installed and updated instance of Windows XP Pro SP2 and installed a the version of MingW and MSYS as specified in the docs. What else was I supposed to do and how was I supposed to configure the environment? > I've just gone through this process here. I've done the following: Download MinGW-5.1.3.exe from SourceForge. Donwload MSYS-1.0.10.exe from SourceForge. Run MingW-5.1.3.exe. Select "download and install" from first Dialog. Select "current version". When it asks for a list of components select "MinGW base tools", "g++ compiler" and "MinGW make". It should install successfully. Run MSYS-1.0.10.exe and when the post install window comes up tell it where you installed MinGW. Select menu option MingW->MSYS->msys Do: tar xvzf /path/to/openssl-fips-1.1.2.tar.gz cd openssl-fips-1.1.2 ./config fips make make install The reason for the process is that it has to follow the Unix build to the letter for the 1.1.X FIPS module. For the (not yet validated) 1.2 Module you can use VC++ for the whole thing. Steve. -- Dr Stephen N. Henson.
