I have successfully installed Net::SSLeay on the picky NT machine now. Here
is the last fix I had to make to get it to compile (in addition to the
others posted previously for NT).
nmake error:
SSLeay.c(2508) : error C2440: '=' : cannot convert from 'const char *' to
'char *'
Conversion loses qualifiers
SSLeay.c(2541) : error C2440: '=' : cannot convert from 'const char *' to
'char *'
Conversion loses qualifiers
--------------------------------
The fix: (Remove 'const' from variable declaration in SSL.h to match
ssleay.xs)
SSL.h:
const char * SSL_get_cipher_list(SSL *s,int n);
->
char * SSL_get_cipher_list(SSL *s,int n);
const char * SSL_CIPHER_get_name(SSL_CIPHER *c);
->
char * SSL_CIPHER_get_name(SSL_CIPHER *c);

Subject: Re: Net::SSLeay (1.05) and Windows NT
I am getting the problem below and was wondering if anyone has found a
workaround for this on NT. I had to follow all of the other workarounds
previously posted here (bn.h, ssl.h, rand.h, ssleay.xs...) and saw no fix
for this one.
Compiling with "nmake -I" gets past this error, but then it never builds a
"SSLeay.obj" and dies at link.
Using: NT4.0, VC++5.0, nmake version 1.62.7022
Perl 5.005_03 (ActiveState)
OpenSSL-0.9.4
Net::SSL-1.05
Any help would be appreciated.
