Hi,
It unfortunately took a long time that I was able to check the problem below
again. The proposed fix is incorrect. Because the .mak file is generated by
util/mk1mf.pl, the change should be done on top of that file. Both for
openssl1.0.1e as well as for openssl1.0.1g the following diff can be applied
and adds a line to copy the pdb file to the lib directory.
Diff on <openSSLDir>/<opensslversion>/util/mk1mf.pl between original file and
changed file:
580c580,581
< \$(CP) \"\$(BIN_D)$o\$(E_EXE)$exep \$(INSTALLTOP)${o}bin\"
---
> \$(CP) \"\$(BIN_D)${o}\$(E_EXE)$exep \$(INSTALLTOP)${o}bin\"
> \$(CP) \"\$(OBJ_D)${o}lib.pdb\" \"\$(INSTALLTOP)${o}lib\"
I also replaced one occurrence of $o by ${o}, which means the same, but
semantically more adheres to what is already used.
The change is of minor importance, but just simplifies adoption by a Visual
Studio/Windows build (and solves warnings).
I assume that the name 'lib.pdb' is fixed, since I did not see a macro that
defines this name.
Regards,
Kees

Hi,
It may be useful to add the .pdb file to the lib directory in the install
target. Windows build that adopt OpenSSL may benefit from it. When using
ssleay32.lib and/or libeay32.lib then Visual Studio may complain about missing
symbol information. That information is in the pdb file. If a pdb file is not
provided, then Visual Studio will raise the following warning:
libeay32.lib(cryptlib.obj) : warning LNK4099: PDB 'lib.pdb' was not found with
'libeay32.lib(cryptlib.obj)' or at 'xyz\lib.pdb'; linking object as if no debug
info.
Suggestion: change ms\nt.mak a little and add a line, similar to the following
diff:
474c474
<
---
> $(CP) "$(OBJ_D)\lib.pdb" "$(INSTALLTOP)\lib"
