As I understand it (not being a Windows person), we don't have any options good across the Windows ecosystem. Apparently PIC isn't possible on Win32, for instance. Hopefully Andy will weigh in. If there is a graceful way to accommodate Windows we'd gladly do it. As for DLLs, the fipscanister.o code can always be embedded within a DLL or shared library. It's the rebasing that's the problem. -Steve M. -- Steve Marquess OpenSSL Validation Services, Inc. 1829 Mount Ephraim Road Adamstown, MD 21710 USA +1 877 673 6775 s/b +1 301 874 2571 direct marquess at openssl.com gpg/pgp key: http://openssl.com/docs/0x6D1892F5.asc
