Hi ! When trying to build 0.9.7b fresh from the tarball by entering ms\mingw32 on the cmd-prompt it stopped right before building the static libraries when trying to remove the old ones.
My environment: gcc.exe (GCC) 3.2.3 (mingw special 20030504-1) Windows 2000 Professional fp3 openssl-0.9.7b Applying the following patch did solve the problem. I have not checked wether this might happen with other Win32 environments too. diff -ur openssl-0.9.7b-orig/util/pl/Mingw32.pl openssl-0.9.7b-work/util/pl/Mingw32.pl --- openssl-0.9.7b-orig/util/pl/Mingw32.pl Sat Feb 22 01:25:37 2003 +++ openssl-0.9.7b-work/util/pl/Mingw32.pl Thu Jun 26 09:23:27 2003 @@ -85,7 +85,7 @@ ($Name=$name) =~ tr/a-z/A-Z/; $ret.="$target: \$(${Name}OBJ)\n"; - $ret.="\t\$(RM) $target\n"; + $ret.="\tif exist $target \$(RM) $target\n"; $ret.="\t\$(MKLIB) $target \$(${Name}OBJ)\n"; $ret.="\t\$(RANLIB) $target\n\n"; } Best, Michael -- Vote against SPAM - see http://www.politik-digital.de/spam/ Michael Gerdau email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Windows... just another pain in the glass ...
