I'm running Windows 7, with MSys 1.0.11 and MinGW 5.1.6. I'm attempting to build OpenSSL 0.9.8m, but it's failing.
I started by untarring openssl-0.9.8m.tar.gz: tar -xzf openssl-0.9.8m.tar.gz This causes a ton of warnings about inability to create symlinks. Trying anyway, I enter the new directory, and call: ./config make This dies with an error that doesn't appear to be related to the missing symlinks: make[1]: Entering directory `/d/Projects/unused/openssl-0.9.8m/crypto' make[1]: *** No rule to make target `../include/openssl/bio.h', needed by `crypt lib.o'. Stop. make[1]: Leaving directory `/d/Projects/unused/openssl-0.9.8m/crypto' make: *** [build_crypto] Error 1 Is there a general procedure for compiling with MSys/Mingw?
