[openssl-users] mingw 64-bit build of 1.1.0e

[Richard Levitte]

Just add -m64 on the config line, like this:

./config no-shared zlib -m64 -IC:/_64/msys_630/1.0/local/include \
-LC:/_64/msys_630/1.0/local/lib --prefix=C:/_64/msys_630/1.0/local

This is weird, though...  what config target did you get when
configuring?  Ideally, you should have gotten 'mingw64', which already
uses the -m64 flag, so what gives?  If you show us the config output,
maybe we can help you figure out what actually goes wrong...

Cheers,
Richard
