Question

I have downloaded the latest OpenSSL source package. I want to build it with VC++ 2010 x64. Following the instructions doesn’t seem to work. Configure step looks fine, but then:

C:\1>ms\do_win64a.bat

C:\1>perl util\mkfiles.pl 1>MINFO

C:\1>perl ms\uplink.pl win64a 1>ms\uptable.asm

C:\1>ml64 -c -Foms\uptable.obj ms\uptable.asm
Microsoft (R) Macro Assembler (x64) Version 10.00.30319.01
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

Assembling: ms\uptable.asm

C:\1>perl util\mk1mf.pl no-asm VC-WIN64A 1>ms\nt.mak
no rule for crypto\md4 at util\mk1mf.pl line 907.

C:\1>perl util\mk1mf.pl dll no-asm VC-WIN64A 1>ms\ntdll.mak
no rule for crypto\md4 at util\mk1mf.pl line 907.

C:\1>perl util\mkdef.pl 32 libeay 1>ms\libeay32.def

C:\1>perl util\mkdef.pl 32 ssleay 1>ms\ssleay32.def

Win 32 (do_ms) output looks a bit different, but “no rule for crypto\md4 at util\mk1mf.pl line 907” remains.

Could anyone help me in building the library or share vc2010-built binaries?.. Or a VS2010 project file for the library?

The problem seems to be related to eol (end of lines). The solution is to patch mk1mf.pl to make it remove the carriage-return:

Index: mk1mf.pl

 for (;;)
        {
        chop;

+       s/\r$//; #remove carriage return too!
        ($key,$val)=/^([^=]+)=(.*)/;
        if ($key eq "RELATIVE_DIRECTORY")
                {
