Re: [pyOpenSSL] Trying to build pyOpenSSL on windows (mingw vs MS compiler).

[patrick f. <pa...@we...>]

Use the web - right?

This compiled all the modules (but with a number of warnings):

(from a cmd window)   setup.py build_ext -I c:\openssl\include -c mingw32

But then the gcc ( gcc -mno-cygwin ) link failed with:

gcc: c:\python25\libs\ssleay32.a: No such file or directory.

Actually I'd looked around the web already for ssleay32.a and found lots 
of references but didn't seem to find the library as such?

Sorry for all the fumbling around.
