I don't know about documented. If you want to compile the apps/* code in VS, I think you need to do the whole directory; openssl.c is just a dispatcher that calls the other 'commands'. If you're using dynamic, I think you need (a copy of?) ms\applink.c also. But remember the 'apps' mostly just wrap the -lcrypto and/or -lssl routines, so if you need to look at much of what is going on, you'll probably need to debug them too. Unless you only want to look at API-level results. The last time I did this, 0.9.8g on VC++6.0 (yes, a while ago), I did commandline (nmake) build of everything including apps, except I manually added /Zi /Yd to cflags in nt*.mak (they used to be in util/pl/VC-32.pl but seem to have gotten lost somewhere); then I created a VS console-exe project with nothing in it, but in ProjectSettings Debug specified my executable (from the dir which also contains the .pdb, and the .dll and .pdb if not static). I could break/step/display fine, but go-to-defn etc. didn't work. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
