Thanks for your responses. I downloaded the latest snapshot ftp://ftp.openssl.org/snapshot/openssl-0.9.8-stable-SNAP-20080711.tar.gz and ran the perl configure. Then I executed the ms\do_masm batch file. I called nmake on the ms\ntdll.mak. The compile still fails :
Assembling: .\crypto\sha\asm\s1_win32.asm .\crypto\sha\asm\s1_win32.asm(13) : error A2008: syntax error : integer NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\BIN\m l.EXE"' : return code '0x1' Stop. I check the s1_win32.asm and see the "16" still there on line 13. Not wanting to mess with the perl files , I remove line 13 and do a rebuild. It builds great. Cheers, Simon M .
