+ GNU C (Cygwin)
+ --------------
+
+ Cygwin provides a bash shell and GNU tools environment running on
+ NT 4.0, Windows 9x and Windows 2000. Consequently, a make of OpenSSL
+ with Cygwin is closer to a GNU bash environment such as Linux rather
+ than other W32 makes that are based on a single makefile approach.
+ Cygwin implements Posix/Unix calls through cygwin1.dll, and is
+ contrasted to Mingw32 which links dynamically to msvcrt.dll or
+ crtdll.dll.
+
+ To build OpenSSL using Cygwin:
+
+ * Install Cygwin (see http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin)
+
+ * Install Perl and ensure it is in the path (recent Cygwin perl
+ (version 5.6.1-2 of the latter has been reported to work) or
+ ActivePerl)
+
+ * Run the Cygwin bash shell
+
+ * $ tar zxvf openssl-x.x.x.tar.gz
+ $ cd openssl-x.x.x
+ $ ./config
+ [...]
+ $ make
+ [...]
+ $ make test
+ $ make install
+
+ This will create a default install in /usr/local/ssl.
+
+ Cygwin Notes:
+
+ "make test" and normal file operations may fail in directories
+ mounted as text (i.e. mount -t c:\somewhere /home) due to Cygwin
+ stripping of carriage returns. To avoid this ensure that a binary
+ mount is used, e.g. mount -b c:\somewhere /home.
+
+ As of version 1.1.1 Cygwin is relatively unstable in its handling
+ of cr/lf issues. These make procedures succeeded with versions 1.1 and
+ the snapshot 20000524 (Slow!).
+
+ "bc" is not provided in the Cygwin distribution. This causes a
+ non-fatal error in "make test" but is otherwise harmless. If
+ desired, GNU bc can be built with Cygwin without change.
+
+
+ Installation
+ ------------
+
+ If you used the Cygwin procedure above, you have already installed and
+ can skip this section. For all other procedures, there's currently no real
+ installation procedure for Win32. There are, however, some suggestions:
+
+ - do nothing. The include files are found in the inc32/ subdirectory,
+ all binaries are found in out32dll/ or out32/ depending if you built
+ dynamic or static libraries.
+
+ - do as is written in INSTALL.Win32 that comes with modssl:
+
+ $ md c:\openssl
+ $ md c:\openssl\bin
+ $ md c:\openssl\lib
+ $ md c:\openssl\include
+ $ md c:\openssl\include\openssl
+ $ copy /b inc32\* c:\openssl\include\openssl
+ $ copy /b out32dll\ssleay32.lib c:\openssl\lib
+ $ copy /b out32dll\libeay32.lib c:\openssl\lib
+ $ copy /b out32dll\ssleay32.dll c:\openssl\bin
+ $ copy /b out32dll\libeay32.dll c:\openssl\bin
+ $ copy /b out32dll\openssl.exe c:\openssl\bin
+
+ Of course, you can choose another device than c:. C: is used here
+ because that's usually the first (and often only) harddisk device.
+ Note: in the modssl INSTALL.Win32, p: is used rather than c:.
+

Troubleshooting
---------------
malloc(), free() and realloc() as the application. However there are many
standard library functions used by OpenSSL that call malloc() internally
(e.g. fopen()), and OpenSSL cannot change these; so in general you cannot

consistently use the multithreaded library.
