If you don't want to mess with building OpenSSL, try the Win32 OpenSSL Installation Project (make sure you are in compliance with export regulations of the default OpenSSL build before using it): http://www.shininglightpro.com/search.php?searchname=Win32+OpenSSL If you still want to build it, you need to do the following from a command prompt: 1) Change to the directory where OpenSSL is installed. 2) Run 'vcvars32.bat'. I'm assuming that you are building with Visual C++. 3) Now run 'perl Configure VC-WIN32'. 4) Now run 'ms\do_masm'. 5) Now run 'nmake -f ms\ntdll.mak'. 6) The output file should be in the 'out32dll' directory. If you follow the directions above, you will get about the same results as the Win32 OpenSSL Installation Project gets if you don't do anything beyond this...the only major difference is that it won't be quite as clean and organized. You might run into problems if you don't have the latest Visual C++ Service Pack installed. Also, there are some problems with 0.9.7. It is recommended that you use 0.9.7a instead (and there is a patch to fix some issue with that as well, but you probably won't be using those features for a while or releasing anything into production, so this probably isn't a big deal for you).
