Re: OpenSSL version 1.0.1g fails to link on Win32

[Geoffrey Coram]

Actually, I tried Google, and it split check_winnt into check winnt 
because I didn't put the quotes around it, and hence found lots of 
unrelated pages.

I had only extracted crypto/ and ssl/ from the source tarball, so my 
"search" from Windows Explorer didn't find it.

My own fault in both cases.

RE: OpenSSL version 1.0.1g fails to link on Win32

[Jeremy Farrell]

Perhaps, if you already have the source tree available in an environment where 
you can run findstr on it, and know about findstr. Google does a much quicker 
and easier job on this problem for everyone else, and is arguably more 
informative since it gives the check-in comments as well as at least some of 
the definitions and uses.

So what if I use MSVC v16 to build and run on Win-Vista+?
Maybe the code should test the WINVER/_WIN32_WINNT
versions before testing _MSC_VER?

Re: OpenSSL version 1.0.1g fails to link on Win32

Hi Geoffrey,

It's defined in e_os.h because it's been deprecated in Win8. Microsoft
wants you to use GetVersionEx() or VerifyVersionInfo(). Part of their plot
to convince us old-timers that the world is no longer flat and that COM is
actually a reasonable way to write code... Next thing they will tell us
will probably be that the earth is no longer the center of the universe.

Re: OpenSSL version 1.0.1g fails to link on Win32

[Geoffrey Coram]

Thanks, Thomas; I had found the calls in the crypto/ source files, but
I didn't search at the right level to find the #defines. 

After updating e_os.h, I am now able to compile & link the original 
source code for 1.0.1g.  Sorry for the false alarm.

Re: OpenSSL version 1.0.1g fails to link on Win32

[Geoffrey Coram]

Thanks for the report.  Is "check_winnt()" in the Windows libraries or
in OpenSSL?  I tried Googling it, but didn't come up with anything, 
and I didn't find a declaration in the OpenSSL source code.

I do nmake -f ntlib.mak, which makes some static libraries for me, 
using only code in crypto/ and ssl/  I suppose if check_winnt() is in 
a different directory, that would be my problem (and my fault for not 
re-running perl Configure).

-Geoffrey

Re: OpenSSL version 1.0.1g fails to link on Win32

[Steven Kneizys]

I just compiled 32 bit with "ntdll.mak" with "nasm 2.11.02" and Visual
Studio Express 2013 with no issues, with and without the
"DOPENSSL_NO_HEARTBEATS" option.  I was making it to drop the keys files
into Apache 2.2.26:
openssl.exe
ssleay32.dll
libeay32.dll

I am doing this to compile:
  perl Configure VC-WIN32 --prefix=C:\ApacheSoftware\Apache22\bin
--openssldir=C:\ApacheSoftware\Apache22\conf
  ms\do_nasm
  nmake -f ms\ntdll.mak

I know this is in the docs and such but so many people are working in this
right now I just thought I'd post that it can work OK with a newer VS
version.

Steve...
