Steve, Apologies if I got you confused.
I am writing below what I did : =============================== 1. downloaded openssl-fips-2.0.3. 2. exported variables as dictated by user guide and suited for my build enviroment. exported FIPS_SIG=perl mymsincore.pl (I have written mymsincore.pl which calls editbin.exe, that gives the desired base address, followed by msincore script came with openssl-fips) 3. ms\do_ms gave me fipscanister.lib 4. built wcecompat library as stated in user guide. 5. compiled openssl as mentioned in user guide. ===================================== Note that, NONE of the files in openssl-fips-2.0.3 tarball was modified. The only trick I had to use to follow the user guide is the environment variable refers to mymsincore.pl which calls msincore script came with openssl-fips. I guess I am supposed to adapt the environment variable according to my need. kindly let me know if I have created FIPS 140-2 validated binary.
