Windows shared libraries version information needs some fixes

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

Building the shared libraries (version 1.1.1 pre 3) for Windows with Visual Studio, targets VC-WIN32 or VC-WIN64A, result in DLLs with version information with outdated copyright date, i.e. "Copyright 1998-2016 The OpenSSL Authors. All rights reserved", and the file description as "OpenSSL application" instead of "OpenSSL shared library".

The version information resource file seems to be generated by the script "util\mkrc.pl", that indeed has this old copyright date hardcoded, and the logic that selects the file description that seems to expect a call with a file extension (i.e. mkrc.pl libcrypto.dll, mkrc.pl openssl.exe, ...), but the build.info file is not specifying any file extension to these calls.

Also, why the openssl.exe doesn't include version information?
