Re: Compiling beta2 with openssl on XP Pro

The gdi32 library seems to be the trick for the openssl fix. Note that the
order of the libraries seems to be critical: -lssl -lcrypto -lgdi32. Any
other order seems to throw an error for gcc.

 I changed the configure file as follows:

6626,6627d6625
<   LIBS="-lcrypto $LIBS"
<
6634d6631
<
6641c6638
< LIBS="-lssl  $LIBS"
---
> LIBS="-lssl -lcrypto -lgdi32 $LIBS"
6695c6692
<   LIBS="-lssl $LIBS"
---
>   LIBS="-lssl -lcrypto -lgdi32 $LIBS"


and the src/Makefile.shlib to:

327c327
<  $(DLLWRAP) -o $(shlib) --dllname $(shlib) $(DLLWRAP_FLAGS) --def
$(NAME).def $(OBJS) $(SHLIB_LINK)
---
>  $(DLLWRAP) -o $(shlib) --dllname $(shlib) $(DLLWRAP_FLAGS) --def
> $(NAME).def $(OBJS) $(SHLIB_LINK) -lgdi32

The Makefile wasn't picking up the -lgdi32 flag from configure (or wherever
it should get it from).

In any case, with these simple changes OpenSSL doesn't have to be tweaked to
incorporate it into the Mingw build of PostgreSQL. I was able to compile and
install the CVS tip from last night with these minor changes. Having trouble
doing an initdb, but still working on it.

This is the known issue that's on the open items list as "fix SSL compiles".

The way to get it done now is to edit the source to openssl and remove the
references to those functions. Yes, it's ugly and yes it needs a proper fix.
