Compiling openssl on Windows

[Shashank Date]

Hi,

I am trying to compile the openssl extension (which comes with ruby
source) on Win XP (Home) using the free VC++ Toolkit 2003.

I cannot even get it create the makefile. See transcript below.
So my question is where can I find all the dependencies (where it says "no")

Thanks,

Where is your OpenSSL library? Did you make sure that there's an entry
in your INCLUDE environment variable to make sure that it can be
found?

Hi Austin,

Where is your OpenSSL library?

Under

C:\OpenSSL

Installed by the binary provided at:
http://www.slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html

Did you make sure that there's an entry
in your INCLUDE environment variable to make sure that it can be
found?

No I did not. So I just added it:

Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.


C:\>set | grep -i openssl
INCLUDE=C:\OpenSSL\include\openssl;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual
Studio\VC98\Include
LIB=C:\OpenSSL\lib\VC;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\LIB
OPENSSL_CONF=C:\OpenSSL\bin\openssl.cnf

But I still get the same error.

C:\>set | grep -i openssl
INCLUDE=C:\OpenSSL\include\openssl;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual
Studio\VC98\Include

This should probably be C:\OpenSSL\include.

Hi Austin,

This should probably be C:\OpenSSL\include.

Yes, that was it. Thanks!

Do you know of a small 5/10 lines program to test my compiled openssl
library?
