Once again I am stumped by this stubborn problem. Due to certain support issues, I am using the setup "perl Configure" for VC-WIN32 and then invoking ms/do_masm.bat followed by "nmake /f ms/ntdll.mak". When the last command gets invoked, I receive the error message "NMAKE : fatal error U1065: invalid option '-'" I have diligently searched the file ntdll.mak and it contains NO '-' options (I converted them all to '/' options with sed.)
I for one can't reproduce the problem. I see that both nmake and cl are forgiving enough to accept both / and -, as well as mixture of them. I mean I can use some options with / and other options with - in the same command line with either nmake and cl. I can get similar error message only if I explicitly run 'nmake --' or 'nmake /-'. It's hardly related to openssl, it's something with your local environment. Try to invoke nmake from cmd prompt, not in cygwin. A.
