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?)
