HI all,
I'm using OpenSSL version 1.0.0 beta3 on Windows through MinGW.
The reason for using the beta version is that I get errors compiling
stable versions (openssl-0.9.8h); "./Configure mingw && make" gives:
---
Configured for mingw.
making all in crypto...
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/Admin/openssl-0.9.8h/crypto'

While in 1.0.0 beta3, everything builds just fine.
However, safestack.h, line 113 says "typedef char *STRING;", which
collides with /mingw/include/ntdef.h, line 35:
typedef struct _STRING {
USHORT Length;
USHORT MaximumLength;
PCHAR Buffer;
} STRING, *PSTRING;
I.e. the two header files safestack.h and ntdef.h both define STRING.
I don't find this STRING definition in the stable releases, hopefully
it is just temporary in the beta release?
I believe that header files should not use such generic names (e.g.
OSSLSTRING would be better).
Do you know if this will be fixed or could you point out what's wrong
when I'm trying to build the stable version?
Thank you!
Best regards,
Eystein Stenberg
