Try just touching those directories. Hopefully that should fix your problem. 
The problem i guess here is that, your make is running 
some test cases to generate some kind of certificates and its failing.

Subject: 'make test' error - "I am unable to access the ./demoCA/newcerts 
directory"



Hi,
I'm building openssl-0.9.8g on Windows Vista in the msys shell using (the
mingw port of) gcc-3.4.5.

I've successfully run './config no-shared' and 'make', but 'make test'
throws up the following:

-----
You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated
into your certificate request.
What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN.
There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank
For some fields there will be a default value,
If you enter '.', the field will be left blank.
-----
Country Name (2 letter code) [AU]:AU
Organization Name (eg, company) []:Dodgy Brothers
Common Name (eg, YOUR name) []:Dodgy CA
Using configuration from CAss.cnf
Loading 'screen' into random state -./demoCA/newcerts: Invalid argument
 done
I am unable to access the ./demoCA/newcerts directory
make[1]: *** [test_ca] Error 1

The ./demoCA/newcerts directory exists (but is empty).

On Windows XP, the error does not occur and 'make test' runs to its
conclusion - so it looks like an issue that's specific to Vista .... unless
there's something crucial I've got installed on the XP box, that's missing
on the Vista box.

Any advice on how to proceed with this ?

Cheers,
Rob
