What do you find unclear about the INSTALL file? As it says, if you want
dynamic libraries use ntdll.mak, if you want static libraries use
nt.mak. I can't tell you which you should prefer, that depends on what
you're doing with them.
I don't know about openssl.cfg.

Hello,
Please help me in clearing doubts regarding the openssl lib and
dll generation from the openssl tar ball.
I downloaded the openssl tar ball from the site and generated
lib files(libeay32.lib and ssleay32.lib) using the command "nmake -f
ms\nt.mak".
The lib files generated has a size of 3839 KB and 667 KB for
libeay32.lib and ssleay32.lib simultaneously. I am not able to generate
dll files with the command mentioned.
Then I used the command "nmake -f ms\ntdll.mak" (preferred as
per the install file available in the tar ball), I got both the dll and
lib files. But the lib files (libeay32.lib and ssleay32.lib) size is
very less compared to the size of the former lib files.
So which one should I prefer? Also I am not able to generate
openssl.cfg using both the commands. Please let me know whether there is
any procedure for generating the openssl.cfg.
Regards,
Aswin Premachandran
