Easier way to build OpenSSL
This allows you to skip the Linux step.
- Download the OpenSSL tarball and extract it.
- Find the file util\mk1mf.pl.
- Find the line
($key,$val)=/^([^=]+)=(.*)/;and add this line after it:$val =~ s/\s+$//;(this is at line 487 in OpenSSL 0.9.7c) - Now follow the instructions that came with the tarball.
The problem is that mk1mf.pl parses the generated MINFO file into key-value pairs, but in the process picks up the end-of-line character at the end of each value. I bet this is a problem only if you install Cygwin Perl with DOS line endings, which I did (though I tried converting MINFO to Unix linefeeds and it still didn't work).
