Hi Mark, I've written a command-line utility called gcc2cl which acts like a gcc front-end while using Microsoft's compiler/linker at the backend. It translates options and does some munging of cl's stdout/stderr so as to fool autoconf into thinking it is really using gcc. This enables us (I did this at Computer Associates) to do a fairly standard OpenSSL cygwin build while using the Microsoft compiler/linker/libraries/runtime. Would this help you in any way? I've tried to contribute it to cygwin but was surprised that there was no interest. We also use it to build OpenLDAP, libxml2, log4cplus, and others almost out-of-the-box. Being able to avoid the OpenSSL .bat files and nmake makefiles helps us to integrate with our cross platform automated build process.

I am responsible to the build environment at OSAF, and we are integrating openssl into the Chandler product. I am concerned about generating the correct configuration, and wonder if someone has a solution. What we do when we incorporate an open-source project into ours is to prepare a script which sets up the configuration for each supported platform (Win32, linux, and OS X for now.) When we run make, it untars the source tarball, applies our patches and then does a configure and a make, installing the libraries into our distribution path. Where I am running into problems is in dealing with the Win32 build situation. We use the cygwin environment, and several of our projects already are compatible in that we call nmake and a DOS-path compatible make file which is working nicely. However, applying this method to the openssl tree has presented some difficulty. I have so far been successful in running a patched ms/32all.bat to generate the required xx.mak files, but the results still contain "-" style option flags rather than the desired "/" style. I am stumped at this point. Of course, I could do this under a local command-line but this is not available from remote ssh or in the environment in which we run the tinderbox. Any suggestions?
