I am trying to build PoDoFo (0.9.3) for Windows using Visual C++ 2008 Express. Is OpenSSL required for this?

Yes, you have to add your OpenSSL directory manually to the include directories of PoDoFo project.

  • Download from OpenSSL page is showing many errors. May I use binaries from gnuwin32? If yes than these binaries only have .dll files. From where I will get header files to manually include? – user1428258 Dec 21 '15 at 09:58
  • I don't use precompiled binaries but I guess you can. As for the header files, just download specific OpenSSL version source and extract the `include` directory. – Leśny Rumcajs Dec 21 '15 at 10:01
  • I need to copy .dll files in lib folder of openSSL. right? – user1428258 Dec 21 '15 at 10:19
  • You can copy the .dlls wherever you like, as long as you link them properly in your project settings. – Leśny Rumcajs Dec 21 '15 at 10:25
  • When I follow Readme.txt of PoDoFo it asks us to build libjpeg using Visual Studio. In the resulting folder there is no entry for include or lib folder but build.cmd mentions them. So, does it mean that I have to manually copy all header files in a created include folder and dll etc in lib folder? – user1428258 Dec 22 '15 at 06:21
  • You may certainly try, as I'm not sure what is exactly the problem. – Leśny Rumcajs Dec 22 '15 at 07:45
  • Hi Lesny. Have you built PoDoFo using Cmake and Visual studio? I am getting following errors. Looking for strings.h Looking for strings.h - not found Looking for arpa/inet.h Looking for arpa/inet.h - not found Looking for winsock2.h Looking for winsock2.h - found Looking for mem.h Looking for mem.h - not found Looking for ctype.h Looking for ctype.h - found Looking for sys/types.h Looking for sys/types.h - found Looking for stdint.h Looking for stdint.h - not found Looking for BaseTsd.h Looking for BaseTsd.h - found Looking for sys/types.h Looking for sys/types.h - found – user1428258 Dec 22 '15 at 08:45
  • Hi Lesny. Do you know how to compile and build OpenSSL for Microsoft Visual C++? – user1428258 Dec 22 '15 at 11:44
  • Sure. Follow the instructions in INSTALL.W32 file, under `Visual C++` section. – Leśny Rumcajs Dec 22 '15 at 11:53
  • I am using 7-zip to extract the source code in Windows. But its giving 33 errors. Do you know any other way to extract the code. – user1428258 Dec 22 '15 at 12:04
  • You can use Total Commander for file management and extraction. – Leśny Rumcajs Dec 22 '15 at 12:13
  • Hi Lesney. I am getting following error. Though I set windows environment path. NMAKE : fatal error U1052: file 'ms\ntdll.mak' not found Stop. – user1428258 Dec 23 '15 at 09:10
  • Having so many problems you should create a new question which specifically focuses on a single problem - compiling OpenSSL in your case. Though it appears you didn't follow the instructions properly `perl Configure VC-WIN32` followed by `ms\do_nasm` should give you `ntdll.mak` all right. – Leśny Rumcajs Dec 23 '15 at 09:30
