#175 OpenSSL hangs while creating an CSR

[Vladius]

I'm trying to create a request with the following OpenSSL v1.0.2 command under MSys2 Windows 7 environment: $ openssl req -out ios.csr -new -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout ios-private.key

I'm getting the following output and the process freezes after that:

Loading 'screen' into random state - done
Generating a 2048 bit RSA private key

Can't reproduce. It works for me.

Hello, Alex,

Hmm, this seem to work, but only under plain MSys2 shell, not under the MINGW64 version. What do you think about it?

[Alexx83]

Do you have installed mingw openssl package?

[Vladius]

Yup.

[Alexx83]

Try install "winpty" package and run openssl via winpty:

winpty openssl ...
