0.9.8g works. some newer ones like 1.0.0, 1.0.0a do not. Maybe I was complaining too much. Eventually someone will notice and fix it. It looks like at one point you could cross compile openssl (apparently with disabled in line assembly). That might be an ok way to go for win64 though (if it was supported) since I would guess optimized assembly hasn't been done yet for win64. Generally speaking, my work flow the last year or so has been along the lines of: -everything is going great on linux -then after a few weeks try to make things work on windows again -go home, cry, repeat :) To put it another way, my heart goes out to all these open source folks that still care about those of us that still have to have windows in the picture, because I know how much extra work it is. -- www.thomasstover.com _______________________________________________ libssh2-devel http://cool.haxx.se/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/libssh2-devel
