Same here. I too faced the same issue when I was trying to build the 'req'
utility using Visual Studio. A short list of errors is as below
d:\ssl\openssl-0.9.8k\include\openssl\store.h(390) : error C2059: syntax
error : 'type'
d:\ssl\openssl-0.9.8k\include\openssl\store.h(397) : error C2059: syntax
error : ','
d:\ssl\openssl-0.9.8k\include\openssl\store.h(397) : error C2143: syntax
error : missing ')' before '('
d:\ssl\openssl-0.9.8k\include\openssl\store.h(397) : error C2143: syntax
error : missing ')' before '('
d:\ssl\openssl-0.9.8k\include\openssl\store.h(397) : error C2091: function
returns function
d:\ssl\openssl-0.9.8k\include\openssl\store.h(397) : error C2091: function
returns function
<SNIP>All these errors seem to crop up because X509_NAME and X509_EXTENSIONS were defined in wincrypt.h. Though we seem to #undef them in x509.h for OPENSSL_SYS_WIN32. Is there any way out?
