Building 1.1.1a on Windows - how to "make update"?

[Lynch, Andrew]

Ok, understood.  I have now managed to build an executable with our patches and it is currently chugging through the tests (which seem to run much slower native than they did inside a Linux VM on the same host...)

There was one more hiccup with a mkdef.pl failure ("does not have a number assigned").  Initially I had not copied util/libcrypto.num across because of a comment at the top of mkdef.pl:  "Intermediary files are created, call libcrypto.num and libssl.num."  That did not seem to happen in the way I expected.

For reference, these are the files I copied from the updated Linux tree to Windows:
include/openssl/cmperr.h
include/openssl/crmferr.h
crypto/cmp/cmp_err.c
crypto/crmf/crmf_err.c
crypto/err/openssl.txt
util/libcrypto.num

It turns out the applied patches did not include any new objects.  obj_dat.h had only been touched by make update to bump the copyright year from 2018 to 2019.

Regards,
Andrew.

The diverse things that 'make update' generates is supposed to be the same across platforms, so the intention is that they get generated on one platform (Linux / Unix) and that these changes get distributed to all others.

Cheers,

But with our patches applied the build fails once it gets to crypto/cmp because the include files cmperr.h and crmferr.h do not exist.  On Linux these are created by make update.  The Windows Makefile does not have a target "update" (or "errors" for that matter).
