Building on Win 32 platforms ============================ 31.7.1999, Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@iki..fi> 7.6.2002, reviewed and added comments, --Sampo 16.8.2002, added comments by Marcel Bucher --Sampo 10.7.2007. Complete rewrite to agree with latest version 1.31. References to ancient versions and untested procedures removed --mikem 22.4.2010 Updated info for 64 bit versions --mikem Notes: 1. With some combinations of Windows, perl, compiler and compiler options, you may see a runtime error "no OPENSSL_Applink", when calling Net::SSLeay::P_PKCS12_load_file. This appears to be due to incompatible compile options between the openssl libraries and Net::SSLeay. In particular it has been observed with Shining Light OpenSSL See https://www.openssl.org/support/faq.html for more details. Alas, the apparently simple and receommended solution of adding applink.c to the SSLeay library does not work, since applink.c need to be in the .exe file, not the .dll for this to work. Best workaround is to build and install OpenSSL for windows yourself. 2. If your OpenSSL is installed in an unusual place, you can tell Net-SSLeay where to find it with the OPENSSL_PREFIX environment variable: set OPENSSL_PREFIX=c:\OpenSSL-1.0.1c perl Makefile.PL make ..... 1.

There is an issue with Shining Light Win32 OpenSSL 0.9.7m and 0.9.8e on Server 2003: These versions were built with VC 7.1 and the packages are missing the 7.1 runtime DLL. This means that the openssl binaries from those versions will not run on a standard Server 2003 platform, and this prevents Net-SSLeay being built. Shining Light say this problem will be fixed in later versions, where they will revert to the earlier build procedures. 2.
