Compile OpenSSL in Visual Studio

I have

I extracted source code, opened Visual Studio Command Prompt (2010) and entered following command:

perl Configure VC-WIN32 --prefix:C:\openSSL-win32

I get this error:

It looks like you don't have either nmake.exe or dmake.exe on your PATH, so you will not be able to execute the commands from a Makefile. You can install dmake.exe with the Perl Package Manager by running: ppm install dmake

I surely have nmake in VS Command Prompt. How can I tell Perl to see my nmake in VS directory?

P.S. These paths are my in my %PATH%:

EDIT: Below is my current PATHs.

Solution

  • Here is how I solved it (actually openssl's developers in github helped me). I installed Strawberry Perl, installed Visual Studio 2010 SP1 (free to download, about 1.5 GB, you can download ISO format too in Install Instructions section, this is necessary), installed Windows 7 SDK 7.1 (maybe isn't necessary, if nothing worked install it), istalled NASM. Opened Visual Studio 2010 Command Prompt (shortcut is in start menu). Go to the folder that openSSL source code exists in VS Command Prompt. Then input these commands:

    perl Configure VC-WIN32    
nmake    
nmake test    
nmake install

    After nmake test you should see STATUS: PASSED. After nmake install check your Program Files (x86) folder. There should be two DLLs and openssl.exe.

    P.S. put NASM and Perl in your %PATH%.

    Good luck
