RE: Error building OpenSSL-1.1.1g

Thanks.

 

But apparently you missed one of my earlier posts.

 

I have a fair bit of experience building apps from source.  My general experience is that the instructions provided are nearly correct, but that the user must do a little tweaking of the process – presumably because the underlying process is quite complex and depends a *very many* case-specific system configuration details.  Hence, I am quite comfortable debugging most installation processes to get them to work.

 

Following your suggestion, I get (and reported) the following result:

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Configuring OpenSSL version 1.1.1g (0x1010107fL) for mingw64

Using os-specific seed configuration

 

******************************************************************************

This perl implementation doesn't produce Unix like paths (with forward slash

directory separators).  Please use an implementation that matches your

building platform.

 

This Perl version: 5.28.0 for MSWin32-x64-multi-thread

******************************************************************************

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

So clearly, either 1) you have done something different from just enter the configure command, or 2) I have something in my programming environment that is different from yours.

 

I’m simply trying to figure out one of those differences.

It is so easy to build OpenSSL using MinGW/MSYS!

 

Just type: ./Configure mingw64 ....... <whatever options you need/want>

                  make all

 

 

How much experience do you have building apps from source on Windows? VS didn't work, MinGW didn't work either!

We are more than happy to assist you.

 

Have fun.

For msys2 based builds you must use the msys2 provided perl version, not
a native perl. Make sure msys2 has the perl package installed and remove
this one from your path.

Maybe we should add an FAQ section of common faults and how to fix them.
