Hi Steve,
Thank you for your quick reply.
I tried "openssl-1.0.0-stable-SNAP-20090918.tar.gz", but got into some
build problems again:
...
rand_win.c: In function `RAND_poll':
rand_win.c:517: error: `__try' undeclared (first use in this function)
...
It seems like this has something to do wits MS's "Structured Exception
Handling", which is not supported on gcc?
Unfortunately, I do not have time to dig into this right now.
As for the original problem, I see that the problematic line in
safestack.h now reads "typedef char *OPENSSL_STRING;".
This should definitely fix the problem.
I'll try to report back to you if I manage to compile snapshots with
gcc some day...
Regards,
Eystein
