It might be useful to know the contents of that temporary file being used by link.exe. However, it can be difficult to read those since they are typically deleted automatically. But then, I also tried without the new FOSSIL_BUILD_SSL=1 (only the FOSSIL_ENABLE_SSL=1 option), and it built OK. (I suppose you separated the build of SSL from the inclusion of SSL.) I'm confused by this. You saying that you freshly extract the OpenSSL source code between attempts, yet you are able to build Fossil with SSL support enabled without actually being able to build the OpenSSL libraries? 1. The problem is with the build process of SSL because using pre-built libraries apparently works. Actually, Fossil follows the official OpenSSL instructions for building with MSVC. 2. Both 32-bit and 64-bit Win7 behave the same in either case. Odd, because prior to last night building OpenSSL for 64-bit Windows was not supported by the Fossil MSVC makefile. 3. Latest trunk version builds FOSSIL executable successfully but only if the FOSSIL_BUILD-SSL is not given. This strongly implies that you have some OpenSSL libraries built and lurking around somewhere. So, if you manage to build on your machine with the FOSSIL_BUILD_SSL=1 option, then apparently there must be some component(s) missing on mine. I have: Possibly, but I cannot imagine what components that might be. I've been able to build Fossil with OpenSSL enabled on a completely fresh box using Visual Studio 2013 Express, ActivePerl, and the OpenSSL source code. -- Joe Mistachkin ___ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users

Re: [fossil-users] Compilation with SSL option fails on Win7
I'm afraid several changes were made that were not directly related to the problem I was having at all, even if they may have added greater robustness to the build process. (BTW, I always did NMAKE from within the win subdirectory that contains the makefile.msc so that was definitely not part of my problem.) In trying to narrow down the problem, I tried compiling openssl by itself, outside of fossil. (https://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.0.1i.tar.gz) I followed their README.W32 steps, i.e.: path c:\perl\bin;%path% (I have to do this because I don't care to have PERL's path permanently installed) perl Configure VC-WIN32 --prefix=\temp ms\do_ms.bat nmake -f ms\ntdll.mak and I still got that same error (about link.obj missing). So, the problem seems to be contained entirely within the openssl library build process, and not within FOSSIL makefiles. So, it has to be something in the compiler configuration. And I think I got it but without knowing why, however. It's in the vc_xp.bat that runs in addition to vcvarsall.bat file when setting up the MSVC paths etc. vc_xp.bat is needed to add compatibility for WinXP targeting in the produced EXE/DLLs which by default is lacking in my version of MSVC. Without it, the produced EXEs will not run on XP machines. So, I tend to use it all the time. vc_cp.bat contents: @set INCLUDE=%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\7.1A\Include;%INCLUDE% @set PATH=%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\7.1A\Bin;%PATH% @set LIB=%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\7.1A\Lib;%LIB% @set CL=/D_USING_V110_SDK71_;%CL% @set LINK=/SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE,5.01 %LINK% From this whole thing, the problem is the final line (with either 5.01 for 32-bit, or 5.02 for 64-bit systems). When removed, openssl compiles correctly, and so does fossil with SSL support. This extra configuration (which requires the installation of some extra SDK from MS) comes from Microsoft's knowledge base, and assumed correct. It never caused me any problems in compiling a variety of other applications, including SQLite, and Fossil (but when built without SSL support.) Apparently, however, it creates some incompatibility with the building of the openssl library. This also explains why you couldn't reproduce the problem.

Update (if it helps): The problem appears in the latest trunk version [e061a675e6]. I also tried with an earlier version [ee46563cbd], and it worked OK.

Re: [fossil-users] Compilation with SSL option fails on Win7
Nope! The same exact error. I uninstalled StraberryPerl before installing ActivePerl. So, the problem is elsewhere. Also, as I mentioned in the follow-up email: The problem appears in the latest trunk version [e061a675e6]. When I tried with an earlier version [ee46563cbd], it worked OK. Since the latest trunk fails consistently (regardless of Perl version used), something must have broken sometime in between these two check-ins. -Original Message- From: Joe Mistachkin Sent: Sunday, September 28, 2014 9:16 PM To: 'Fossil SCM user's discussion' Subject: Re: [fossil-users] Compilation with SSL option fails on Win7 to...@acm.org wrote: (I have installed the latest perl - Strawberry Perl, and I have installed openssl-1.0.1i.tar.gz under the compat subdirectory) I suspect this may have to do with the line-endings in the OpenSSL files.

Re: [fossil-users] Compilation with SSL option fails on Win7
I'm building on Win7 64-bit. Tomorrow, at work, I can try again on a Win7 32-bit, and see if that makes a difference. Version [ee46563cbd] built without any errors, and apparently has SSL support (much larger file size, and an attempt to connect to an HTTPS server did not produce errors about missing SSL support). So, the question is, if that older version relies on pre-built SSL libraries, where does it find them? And, why can't I do the same (use these pre-built SSL libraries) when building the latest trunk version? -Original Message- From: Joe Mistachkin Sent: Sunday, September 28, 2014 10:44 PM To: 'Fossil SCM user's discussion' Subject: Re: [fossil-users] Compilation with SSL option fails on Win7 to...@acm.org wrote: When I tried with an earlier version [ee46563cbd], it worked OK.
