Hi!

I've been working on an application using OpenSSL. For a couple of weeks, I
used the prebuilt Win32 version of the library. But recently I made the switch
to the full blown source distribution.

The build process by itself works perfectly, but, at work, we're using Perforce
as our version manager and it causes a small conflict...

As you may know, in Perforce, as long as you don't check out a file, it is
read-only. In my head, this would be fine, except that the OpenSSL build
process necessitates write access to a couple of core files!

I get a couple of errors, such as "access denied" or "unable to rename
makefile" while building. Of course, it doesn't complete.

The "unable to rename makefile" error comes when I'm doing the "Configure
VC-WIN32" step. The "access denied" error comes when executing the
"ms/do_nasm.bat" file on those lines of output:
  perl util\mk1mf.pl nasm VC-WIN32  1>ms\nt.mak 
  Access is denied.
  perl util\mk1mf.pl dll nasm VC-WIN32  1>ms\ntdll.mak 
  Access is denied.
  perl util\mk1mf.pl nasm BC-NT  1>ms\bcb.mak 
  Access is denied.
  perl util\mkdef.pl 32 libeay  1>ms\libeay32.def 
  Access is denied.
  perl util\mkdef.pl 32 ssleay  1>ms\ssleay32.def 
  Access is denied.

You might tell me to check out the complete folder and build there, but it's
not really a solution!

I don't know if you guys know of a way to build the library without it needing
write access to any of the core files?

(By the way, when I mean core files, I mean files that came with the
distribution. Maybe some of them are dynamically generated and thus
non-necessary to include in our perforce tree?)

Thanks in advance!
