I am using MS Visual Studio 2003, and am trying to compile OpenSSL

I am not sure how to run this from a command prompt in Visual Studio,
since I cannot find a Visual Studion workspace or project file in
which to open the OpenSSL project.
What am I not doing right ??
Hello Mark,
If you are just using the default build of OpenSSL, this may be a better
option for you:

There is no Visual Studio workspace for OpenSSL. It is entirely
command-line driven. You have to run vcvars32.bat located inside your
compiler's \bin directory from a command prompt. Then switch to the
directory OpenSSL is located in and run the desired nmake commands.
Having NASM installed is a _really_ good idea. You must have at least
Service Pack 5 for VC6 and the latest Platform SDK hooked up properly
(includes modifications to the vcvars32.bat file) to get it to work.
You also have to do some undocumented environment modifications to get
most openssl.exe operations to work properly.
Personally, if you can use the default build, I'd skip the headache and
go with Win32 OpenSSL.
