I think that it is because nobody is interested in this build enough to make it work and send patches to the BTS. May be interesting option is to use standard build system with GNU make for MSVC builds. Syntax of MSVC command line compiler options is close enough to standard Unix cc to make things simple. Only obstacle we cannot get around adopting this system for our project is that Microsof library management tool LIB.EXE has completely different syntax from unix ar. It was easier for us to use ar from cygwin or mingw32 for msvc build than to manage rules in the Makefile to build static libraries with both ar and LIB.EXE. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
