With mingw64-x86_64-openssl 3.0.16-1 and mingw64-x86_64-libcurl
8.12.1-1 installed I get these errors:
cygcheck: track_down: could not find ssleay32.dll
cygcheck: track_down: could not find libeay32.dll
These two DLLs were provided by openssl 1.0.2 and have been renamed as
libcrypto and libssl in openssl 1.1.1.
cygcheck /usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/bin/libcurl-4.dll
shows that the libcurl DLL requires these two DLLs.
I see that openssl 3.0.16-1 was marked stable on 2025-02-19 20:52, but
curl 8.12.1-1 was packaged on 2025-02-17 23:42, two days earlier. I
don't know how Cygwin manages dependencies, but I think this should
entail a rebuild of all packages depending on openssl, and also mark
incompatibilities between the packages.
The mingw64 packages were released as test on that date, but must have been
marked stable some time more recently in March:
Date: Wed, 19 Feb 2025 23:16:56 +0100 [thread overview]
The following MinGW64 test packages are made available:
* mingw64-x86_64-openssl-3.0.16-0.1
Systems with bulk rebuilds may have long periods between package upgrades, as
any dependent package having any build issue blocks release of any upgrade they
need.
Cygwin is a rolling release system, with package upgrades released when
maintainers notice upstream availability and have time, with curl released on an
eight week (Wednesday) or fewer (if there are serious issues) schedule, while
OpenSSL is released on a twice yearly (04/10, April/October, but could extend up
to 34 weeks between) schedule.
Devel package mingw64-x86_64-libcurl depends on other packages
mingw64-x86_64-libidn2, mingw64-x86_64-libssh2, mingw64-x86_64-nghttp2,
mingw64-x86_64-openssl, mingw64-x86_64-zlib, mingw64-x86_64-zstd being upgraded
by *YOU*, and setting *YOUR* build and execution paths so that programs can find
the required libraries.
If you do not set the paths correctly, you may end up running years old versions
of the system provided /proc/cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/{lib,ssl}eay32.dll!
Due to dependencies, compatibility requirements, and possible issues with
upstream sources, it may take time to resolve issues to allow a new Cygwin
upgrade release.
All Cygwin developers and package maintainers work as volunteers in their
available spare time, depending on work and personal requirements, priorities,
and pressures.
[My practice recently has been to apply other maintainers' Cygwin package
upgrades monthly; on Monday after my weekend Cygwin package builds, upgrades,
and releases; just before I allow Windows to apply the previous month's patches
and restart; before pausing Windows updates prior to Patch Tuesday the next day.]
