OpenSSL compilation errors in Windows

[Sergio NNX]

Ciao.

I haven't had a chance to compile the exact OpenSSL version using g++ compiler as stated by the user/poster.

If this user is using a modified or altered version of OpenSSL provided source code, is there support available? Don't get me wrong, I don't mind helping out but .....

I'll try to compile OpenSSL source code this evening and I'll post my findings here.

Regards.

Sergio.

As I wrote previously, the error you posted was caused  by the fact that you are compiling Ansi C (a.k.a ISO/IEC 9899:1990, a.k.a C90) source code

using a C++ compiler. While C permits a cast from ‘void *’ to ‘anytype *’, C++ doesn’t allow it without an explicit cast.



Only the *public* OpenSSL headers are guaranteed to be includable by a C++ compiler (they contain the necessary ` extern “C” ` blocks, etc.),

not the internal headers. Including *internal* headers is neither supported nor possible with a C++ compiler. And as Matt Caswell already told you,

there are no compatibility guarantees for those headers.
