Steve, I downloaded and installed MinGW/ActivePerl5.8.8.
In MinGW shell window, I ran: 1. tar -xvzf OpenSSL-0.9.7j.tar.gz, it was successful! 2 ./config fips, this gave me the following error: Operating system: i686-whatever-mingw Configuring for mingw The file fipscanister.o could not be located. Please build and install the FIPS module using the instructions in the user guide before compiling OpenSSL in FIPS mode. Configuring for mingw What's missing in my case? Thanks for your time.

Basically to be covered by this certification you can *only* do: ./config fips make make install from the validated source to compile fipscanister.o no other options are permitted and no source files can be changed. If that doesn't work then it isn't covered by the current certification. Because the new source releases aren't validated they link against fipscanister.o and friends which have been compiled from the validated source. Steve. -- Dr Stephen N. Henson.
