The INSTALL.W32 file in the source tarball says "native compilation on a Windows machine is possible, but not supported." The approach suggested in the file is to install a cross compiler on a Linux machine and build the stunnel binary there. A while ago I successfully compiled stunnel 4.24 on Linux after a lot of trial and error. I wrote down these instructions at the time, but I don't know if they're applicable to openssl-0.9.8i and stunnel-4.26. Hopefully I wrote down everything correctly. If you (or anyone else) discovers or knows of a better way to build an stunnel binary for Windows, please share it with the list and/or add it to the INSTALL.W32 file.
* Install mingw32
apt-get install mingw32
* Download and unpack openssl-0.9.8h
* Make sure the environment is setup properly.
export CC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc
export CXX=i586-mingw32msvc-c++
export LD=i586-mingw32msvc-ld
export AR=i586-mingw32msvc-ar
export AS=i586-mingw32msvc-as
export NM=i586-mingw32msvc-nm
export STRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip
export RANLIB=i586-mingw32msvc-ranlib
export DLLTOOL=i586-mingw32msvc-dlltool
export OBJDUMP=i586-mingw32msvc-objdump
export RESCOMP=i586-mingw32msvc-windres
* Edit Configure, remove the following line
$IsMK1MF=1 if ($target eq "mingw" && $^O ne "cygwin" && !is_msys());
* Edit Configure, replace ":-mno-cygwin -shared:" with
:-mno-cygwin -Wl,--export-all -shared:
* Configure and make
perl Configure mingw shared
sed -i -e 's/nm/i586-mingw32msvc-nm/g' Makefile.shared
make CC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc RANLIB=i586-mingw32msvc-ranlib
* Download and unpack stunnel-4.24
* Configure it
./configure --with-ssl=/path/to/openssl-0.9.8h
* Extracted openssl source code to /usr/src because the makefile adds "-I/usr/src/openssl-0.9.8h/include" to CFLAGS.
cd /usr/src && tar zvxf ~/openssl-0.9.8h.tar.gz
* Go back to stunnel-4.24/src
make stunnel.exe
Hope this helps,
Tom
