Building Net:SSLeay fails with latest openssl 1.0.2h

jobinjoseph121 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi,

We are using Net::SSLeay 1.77 module source from cpan and compile it locally.
This perl module got compiled successfully till the openssl upgrade to latest version 1.0.2h.

Now we are receiving the following error in the Windows build (both x64 and x86).

SSLeay.xs(6060) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before 'type
+'
SSLeay.xs(6061) : error C2065: 'first' : undeclared identifier
SSLeay.xs(6063) : error C2065: 'first' : undeclared identifier
SSLeay.xs(6068) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before 'type
+'
SSLeay.xs(6069) : error C2275: 'ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME' : illegal use of
+ this type as an expression
        ../../include/openssl/ossl_typ.h(95) : see declaration of 'ASN
+1_GENERALIZEDTIME'
SSLeay.xs(6069) : error C2065: 'revocationTime' : undeclared identifie
+r
SSLeay.xs(6069) : error C2065: 'thisupdate' : undeclared identifier
SSLeay.xs(6069) : error C2100: illegal indirection
SSLeay.xs(6069) : error C2065: 'nextupdate' : undeclared identifier
SSLeay.xs(6069) : error C2100: illegal indirection
SSLeay.xs(6075) : error C2065: 'status' : undeclared identifier
SSLeay.xs(6076) : error C2065: 'revocationTime' : undeclared identifie
+r

Checking the SSLeay.xs file, all the variables for which this error is seen seem to be declared in the same file itself.

Since i am new to this, could you please help to identify what should be wrong here?

Thanks,
Jobin

No such problem for me on Windows with Net-SLeay-1.77 and openssl 1.0.2h. Are you using a Microsoft Compiler ? Line 6060 is: `int first = OCSP_resp_find(bsr, certid, -1);` [download] I've struck scoping issues like this with MS compilers before. Try changing line 6060 to: `first = OCSP_resp_find(bsr, certid, -1);` [download] and then change line 6030 to: `int i,want_array, first;` [download] Cheers, Rob	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Looks like version 1.74 can be installed from ppm and v1.76 may compile on windows. Update: A help full link PERL MODULES UPDATED WITH OPENSSL 1.0.2G updated text...	[reply]

By the way, version 1.78 of Net-SSLeay is on CPAN, now.	[reply]

By the way, version 1.78 of Net-SSLeay is on CPAN, now I don't think the changes in 1.78 will address the OP's issue. Cheers, Rob	[reply]
