How do you compile OpenSSL for x64?

Question

After following the instructions in INSTALL.W64 I have two problems:

• The code is still written to the \"out32\" folder. I need to be able to link to both 32-bi

Answer 1

To compile the static libraries (both release and debug), this is what you need to do:

1. Install Perl - www.activestate.com
2. Run the "Visual Studio 2008 x64 Cross Tools Command Prompt" (Note: The regular command prompt WILL NOT WORK.)
3. Configure with perl Configure VC-WIN64A no-shared no-idea
4. Run: ms\do_win64a
5. EDIT ms\nt.mak and change "32" to "64" in the output dirs:

    # The output directory for everything intersting
    OUT_D=out64.dbg
    # The output directory for all the temporary muck
    TMP_D=tmp64.dbg
    # The output directory for the header files
    INC_D=inc64
    INCO_D=inc64\openssl

5. EDIT ms\nt.mak and remove bufferoverflowu.lib from EX_LIBS if you get an error about it.
6. Run: nmake -f ms\nt.mak
7. EDIT the ms\do_win64a file and ADD "debug" to all lines, except the "ml64" and the last two lines
8. Run: ms\do_win64a
9. Repeat steps 4 and 5
10. EDIT the ms\nt.mak file and ADD /Zi to the CFLAG list!
11. Run: nmake -f ms\nt.mak
