I uncovered 2 errors when building openssl-0.9.7c with Visual studio.
The environment I have is a build system running under cygwin that
builds using Visual C++ 7.1.
The first problem is that when trying to invoke the "install" target in
nmake, nmake does nothing because there exists a file named "install"
and prompty says that it is "up to date". Work-around for me was to
move the file named "install" away before invoking nmake install.
The second problem is that the ntdll.mak file has an incorrect command
to "install" the header files.
This is the command generated from nmake - notice that [ch] does not
expand under a win32 command line interpreter so that means that all the
header files are missing from the "installation" directory.
copy nul+ inc32\openssl\*.[ch] ..\install\include\openssl
nul
1 file(s) copied.
These are the GNU make definitions that I use to build openssl that run
under cygwin.
PACKAGEBUILD_CMD=\
MAKEFLAGS=; export MAKEFLAGS; \
nmake /f ms\\\\ntdll.mak
PACKAGEBUILD_INSTALL=\
MAKEFLAGS=; export MAKEFLAGS; \
mv install install.txt; \
nmake /f ms\\\\ntdll.mak /b install; \
cp inc32/openssl/*.[ch] ../install/include/openssl
PACKAGECONFIGURE=( \
cd $(EXTRACTS); \
INSTALL_DIR="../install"; \
cd $(MODULE_NAME); \
touch mxs_excl_incl; \
./Configure --prefix=$$INSTALL_DIR VC-WIN32 ; \
cmd /C ms\\do_masm ; \
)
Another problem not related to openssl but related to interaction with
gnu make and nmake is that gnu make sets the environment variable
MAKEFLAGS with options that nmake is unable to process. The work-around
for this is to set MAKEFLAGS="" before invoking nmake.
