Hi, I want to compile stunnel for windows, to include the XMPP patch (that I managed to apply cleanly to the current stunnel code) that I saw on the mailing list earlier as I need to get it to connect to a SSL only server in client mode. I followed the instructions in the Install.w32 file 1) apt-get install gcc-mingw32 - Worked fine with no issues 2) Download the recent zlib from http://www.zlib.net/ , Update the following definitions in win32/Makefile.gcc file: etc *snip* Worked fine as far as I can tell 3) Download the recent OpenSSL in unpack it to /usr/src/ directory., cd /usr/src && tar zvxf ~/openssl-(version).tar.gz I got OpenSSL 1.0.0d 4) Build OpenSSL with cross_mingw32.sh script. I ran instead ./Configure --cross-compile-prefix=i586-mingw32msvc- mingw shared zlib-dynamic && make it seems to have worked fine 5) Download and unpack stunnel-(version).tar.gz. -got stunnel 4.42 6) Configure stunnel. cd stunnel-(version) && ./configure --with-ssl=/path/to/openssl-(version) This step worked fine 7) Build windows executable. cd src && make stunnel.exe The first few compile steps work fine, but I get stuck on: ...i586-mingw32msvc/bin/ld: cannot find -lcrypto.dll I did a few hours of troubleshooting and trying to move a few files around but couldn't find crypto.dll anywhere I'm running a fresh install of Ubuntu 11.04 in a VM if that makes any difference. Help would be greatly appreciated :) Thanks, Albert
