Re: Crypt::OpenSSL::Random on Win32 with ActiveState

[syphilis]

Hi,
Assuming ssleay32.lib is located in one of the directories specified in %LIB% (and assuming it can resolve the missing symbols), your only problem is that the Crypt::OpenSSL::Random Makefile.PL does not look for an import library named ssleay32.lib.
Alternatively to the approach already suggested by Anonymous Monk, creating a copy of ssleay32.lib named ssl.lib (in any of the folders specified in %LIB%) should fix that.
Or, in the Makefile.PL you could replace both occurrences of-lssl -lcrypto with -lssleay32 -lssl -lcrypto

Cheers,

Thanks for the hints Rob and "Anonymous Monk". Using a combination of both, I was able to get it to work.

I ended up doing:

1. Install OpenSSL pre-built binaries for Win64
2. In the OpenSSL Install directory:

copy <ossldir>/libeay32.dll <ossldir>/ssl.dll
copy <ossldir>/bin/libeay32.dll <ossldir>/bin/ssl.dll
copy <ossldir>/lib/libeay32.lib <ossldir>/bin/ssl.lib

3. In the Crypt-OpenSSL-Random-0.06 directory run:

perl Makefile.PL LIBDIR="<ossldir>/lib" INCDIR="<ossldir>/include"

4. ignore these messages, they seem bogus:

-lssl -lcrypto not found. Need to install the openssl devel packages.
'INCDIR' is not a known MakeMaker parameter name.
'LIBDIR' is not a known MakeMaker parameter name.

5. Build, test and install:

nmake
nmake test
nmake install
