Hi all OpenSSL users on Windows
With the VC6 compiler you have the option of linking the ssl libs against the
static C runtime libraries (instead of the MSVCRT.dll).
If you link your application (or dll) against such statically linked ssl libs,
your application (or dll) contains all that it needs and you don't have to
distribute any dll's at all with your application.
The downside, of course: your application could get bigger... (My dll grows
from 588kb to 768kb)
The appended patch introduces the option "staticrt" to util/mk1mf.pl, expands
the output path (eg out32_static.dbg) if necessary and sets the correct
compiler switches (/MT[d] or /MD[d]) in util/pl/VC-32.pl.
It also uses the new switch in ms/do_masm.bat to generate the appropriate
makefiles.
It works for me. That is about all the guarantee I can give because I do not
understand the openssl configuration well enough to spot all blunders I might
have made. There is for example a line in util/mk1mf.pl which reads: "Don't
touch anything below this point". I violated this because I couldn't see
another way to introduce the "staticrt" parameter to the read_options sub!
Enlightment, anyone?
If there's enough demand for this, some core developer might even put this into
the next relase!
Here comes the patch for all those of you who want to try my version anyway:
