[openssl-users] Getting error 'SSLv2_client_method': identifier not found

[Tony Girgenti]

Michael,

Thanks for your help.

I forget where I downloaded OpenSSL from, but all I did was download a zip
file and unzipped all the file to a folder called: OpenSSL-Win32.

>From there, I simply pointed my Visual Studio project properties directory
search for includes and lib files to that folder.  I did not compile or
change anything in that folder.

Thanks,
Tony

It should be, if you're using a current OpenSSL release and you're building
it properly.

For some time now, OpenSSL's assembly modules have had SAFESEH gubbins
wedged into them as necessary. See e.g. the ::safeseh subroutine in
crypto/perlasm/x86nasm.pl in the OpenSSL sources.

I just linked a little test program against a library built with OpenSSL
1.0.2g with SAFESEH enabled. No warnings, and dumpbin /loadconfig shows that
it has a SafeSEH table.

In your original note you said that you "downloaded and installed OpenSSL
1.0.2g". It's not clear what that means. Are you building using libraries
created by someone else?
