[openssl-users] Failed to install OpenSSL 1.1.0 using 'nmake install'

[Andrew Hartley]

Your step (4) to me appears to be wrong.  If you are to install openssl to the following directory:

                C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenSSL\

then you need to do:


?  perl Configure VC-WIN32 -prefix=C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenSSL

When I build openSSL I use nasm, so after the above I do:


?  ms\do_nasm

?  nmake -a -f ms\nt.mak

?  nmake -f ms\nt.mak test

?  nmake -f ms\nt.mak install

Does that help at all?

I've tried all my best to solve this problem but failed. Can you help me?

- OS: Windows 10
- Perl: ActivePerl 5.12.2 build 1202
- Development environment: MS Visual Studio 2010 SP1
- OpenSSL version: OpenSSL 1.1.0

I tried to compile and install OpenSSL 1.1.0 according to the following steps:

1. decompressed OpenSSL 1.1.0 software package to directory "D:\openssl-1.1.0";
2. opened the "Visual Studio 2010 command prompt" window using an Administrator identity;
3. switched to the directory "D:\openssl-1.1.0";
4. D:\openssl-1.1.0> perl Configure VC-WIN32;
5. D:\openssl-1.1.0> nmake;
6. D:\openssl-1.1.0> nmake test;

> So far, all steps went smoothly, but ...

7. D:\openssl-1.1.0> nmake install;

Here, I got the following error and there was no file being copied to the destination directories even though those directories were successfully created.
