Oops! the report text became too long for rt to display, here is the
important part for easy viewing:
The symptoms are simple:
At the end of running nmake test, nmake does not exit, it just hangs at
ca. 0% CPU consumption. This obviously stops installation cold.
This has been observed on Win32 / i386 (specifically Windows XP 5.01
SP2) with a self-compiled perl 5.8.8 and openssl 0.9.8b . All
compilation is done with Microsoft C 13.10 (== Visual Studio.NET 2003)
and the updated system headers (==Platform SDK) from April 2005.
The self-compiled openssl is kept in the same dirs as perl itself,
thus openssl.exe is in %PERLDIR%\bin
openssl include files are in %PERLDIR%\include\openssl
openssl lib files are in %PERLDIR%\lib
%PERLDIR% is a custom location on my C: drive, source work is done in
%PERLDIR%\src
The original posting includes a transcript of me reproducing the bug by
simply doing:
Show quoted textcpan> test Net::SSLeay
The transcript ends like this:
All tests completed OK.

[ And here it hangs, with 3 running perl processes and no apparent
activity!]
