building openssl on windows


I had to do this from scratch *again* today :(

In case others have the misfortune of building Microsofts brain-dead operating systems, here are some excellent sources of info for how to complete the openssl build:

Clear concise instructions for a release build
http://www.ski-epic.com/2007_notes_on_openssl/index.html

Compiling a debug build
http://curlpp.org/index.php/faq/50-how-to-build-openssl-on-win32-platform-for-use-with-libcurl

If you compile openssl in release, you'll have to build libssh in release mode too, as the debug and release runtimes use different memory heaps, so memory allocated by openssl will crash out when freed by libssh or vice versa.
