Next month final I expect.

But abs.exe is not working with 1.1.0, that is maybe not a big deal. Hope it is fixed before final.

This does not feel OK, as it is using the exported OpenSSL functions. When I tested what it did, I noticed that (1) it did not make any call to the webserver and (2) it occupies 100% of 1 of my 4 cores. It just sits there, until you hit Ctrl-C

BTW: I compiled Apache with CMake and noticed I had to copy applink.c from openssl/ms to openssl/include/openssl, where the generated vcxproj expected it to be.

Edit This was caused by line 178 in support/ab.c:

Code:
#if defined(_MSC_VER)
/* The following logic ensures we correctly glue FILE* within one CRT used
 * by the OpenSSL library build to another CRT used by the ab.exe build.
 * This became especially problematic with Visual Studio 2015.
 */
#include <openssl/applink.c>
#endif

Only abs.exe expected applink.c to be in that place.
There was a warning as well:
Code:
openssl\include\openssl/lhash.h(198): warning C4090: 'function': different 'const' qualifiers

The deal with this is install openssl (nmake install), you get /bin, /include and /lib and guess where applink.c is installed ... /include/openssl/applink.c

The location is tied to the prefix= when building but may (did not try) be able to be overridden when you actually do the install (nmake prefix=/some/location install).

When I originally dealt with this problem in the retro build it quickly got shot down and I had to revert the change to ab.c. The dissenting voice told me that it breaks the cmake build when openssl gets installed.

Rainer posted a patch to the list back on 4/21.
I believe this worked for me and I thought I posted to the list that it did but cannot find my mail.

Try:

There's a glitch elsewhere not affecting SSL (or the hang) and it's patch is;

Anyone care to confirm? Extra confirmation is a good thing.

Fix confirmed, also on the list. I asked Rainer to backport it to the 2.4.x branch.

Was a too quick message in the train from Rotterdam to Amsterdam. Some spelling errors, but who cares. Almost near the Arena, where Ajax played 4-1 against Olympique Lyon.

I tried this with and without --prefix in the configure line:

perl Configure VC-WIN64A --prefix=/Openssl110VC14.x64/install
perl Configure VC-WIN64A --prefix=N:\Openssl110VC14.x64\install

You'd better re-apply the change in ab.c. It never was needed to install OpenSSL to use it in the httpd build.

Neither in a VC14 x64 nor in a VC15 x64 prompt. Anyway, as far as I know there is no need to install OpenSSL to use it for building Apache httpd. As you can see by the applink.obj above, a CMake build of httpd already compiles ms/applink.c. It is illogical to compile it also at openssl/include/openssl. '#include <ms/applink.c>' will work in any build system as long as you add the openssl root dir as include dir (-DEXTRA_INCLUDES in the CMake build).

That's bizarre, since it did it for me and as we can see, for Steffen also.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes it's compiled by Openssl build because it's linked in to the client. But that doesn't concern us.

For Legacy (1.0.2) reasons this has to remain as is

Code:
#if defined(_MSC_VER)
/* The following logic ensures we correctly glue FILE* within one CRT used
 * by the OpenSSL library build to another CRT used by the ab.exe build.
 * This became especially problematic with Visual Studio 2015.
 */
#include <openssl/applink.c>
#endif


For our Retro/Legacy/whatever-you-want-to-call-it build, we have a prebuild step that copies the file from /ms to /include/openssl

If cmake can modify files (like config.h on PCRE) then it should be able to copy the applink.c to
/include/openssl if it exists in /ms. That's a little beyond my cmake knowledge at this time.

Now beyond this, if you cannot get the cmake build to work with openssl's install, I guess you can battle this out with Bill.

It is certainly bizarre. I analysed it and there is a very subtle requirement for 'nmake install' to work: perl has to be on the same drive as the OpenSSL sources and as the install location. Consider the following:

Can't Open "C:/VC15/Win64/openssl-1.1.0e/ms/applink.c" at C:\VC15\Win64\openssl-1.1.0e\util\copy.pl line 61.

It does not matter, whether I use absolute or relative paths. And as a BTW: n:\perl64 and c:\perl64 are symlinked.

And even that is not the whole story:

Code:
C:\Openssl110VC14.x64\openssl>dir C:\Openssl110VC14.x64\openssl\ms\applink.c
 Volume in drive C is Windows7_OS
 Volume Serial Number is D13A-4B50

 Directory of C:\Openssl110VC14.x64\openssl\ms

16/02/17  13:58             3.508 applink.c
               1 File(s)          3.508 bytes

    C:\Openssl110VC14.x64\openssl\util\copy.pl \
    C:\Openssl110VC14.x64\openssl\ms\applink.c \
    C:/Openssl110VC14.x64/install/include/openssl
Can't Open "C:/Openssl110VC14.x64/openssl/ms/applink.c" at C:\Openssl110VC14.x64\openssl\util\copy.pl line 61.

It is a prompt with Administrator rights and Administrators have full control over ms/applink.c. nmake install for OpenSSL 1.1.0e is a PITA, to put it mildly.

Well, we should NOT need administrator rights.

Mine failed, but this is the fail;

Cannot create directory C:/Program Files/Common Files/SSL: No such file or directory
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'C:\Perl64\bin\perl.exe' : return code '0x2'
Stop.

WTF were they (OpenSSL) thinking here?

Other than that, the only difference I see is that it looks like you do not have perl in your path.
I will send you a link in email to the complete buildlog (I skipped test) and you can see if worked sweetly up until it tried to do something requiring admin rights.

Try adding it to you path temporarily

set path=%PATH%;C:\Perl64

My perl as you will see is in C:\Perl64, I built in F: as you will also see.

The reason I'm sending link is I don't want Google et al trying to index it for eternity and spitting up 404s daily in my access log after I delete it.

Actually there was a Perl in my path, but it happened to be an old one. I replaced it with ActiveState v5.24.1 and did not have the ms\applink.c problem anymore.

With respect to the Common Files problem, try this configure line:
Code:
perl Configure VC-WIN64A --prefix=/testme --openssldir=/testme/ssl

And, to be sure, do a 'if exist makefile nmake distclean' before every perl Configure.

No, the latter is not critical but I just gave the proposal for it (proposed about 75 minuts ago) the 3rd needed vote so it will be in soon.
