0.9.8g works. some newer ones like 1.0.0, 1.0.0a do not. Maybe I was
complaining too much. Eventually someone will notice and fix it. It looks
like at one point you could cross compile openssl (apparently with disabled
in line assembly). That might be an ok way to go for win64 though (if it
was supported) since I would guess optimized assembly hasn't been done yet
for win64.
Generally speaking, my work flow the last year or so has been along the
lines of:
-everything is going great on linux
-then after a few weeks try to make things work on windows again
-go home, cry, repeat
:)
To put it another way, my heart goes out to all these open source folks
that still care about those of us that still have to have windows in the
picture, because I know how much extra work it is.
