d.mclellan Hi:  I'm now investigating build OpenSSL -0.9.7d on a WIN
d.mclellan IA64 architecture machine.  Has anyone had any experience
d.mclellan with this, or is there any active work in progress to
d.mclellan support WIN IA64 platforms?
d.mclellan Thanks very much. 

The absolutely biggest problem is that size_t is 64 bits while
unsigned long is 32 bits.  This leads to a ton of warnings/errors
concerning size differences when OpenSSL uses unsigned long, unsigned
int or int for things that should really be size_t.

There's a branch where work on this is done, although very slowly (at
least for the moment).  If I didn't have to spend time chasing down
finances to survive, that would be one of those things I'd work on, as
it also concerns a favorite O/S of mine, VMS.

2004-08-17 Thread mclellan, dave
Hi Richard.  thanks for your reply.  In my experiments so far, I have seen
the messages about size_t and unsigned long. This is the one that worried me
some.  

How can I watch for news about this work?  

Dave
