There should be no techincal problems. Code is portable enough. Just someone have to invest some time into fixing makefiles and other project files used for MSVC build. Mingw uses traditional Unix build system, so there was no special effort needed to build windows version with it. I have no intention to spend time on it, because I hate to use Windows. I build OpenSSL for Windows using Linux-hosted cross-compiler. Resulting DLLs work fine with MSVC. I've build at least Apache and PostgreSQL using MSVC with mingw-compiled OpenSSL DLLs. (only thing you need is to produce correct import libraries using MSVC LIB.EXE tool). Of course, I can change my mind if someone would give me good reasons why MSVC-compiled OpenSSL dlls are better than Mingw32-compiled. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
