| Subject: | SSLeay.xs line 1766 assumes ANSI C99 compiler |
When building Net-SSLeay-1.41, I got a compile error with Net-SSLeay.c
when building on Windows with MSVC6 with a very odd compiler error message:
SSLeay.xs(1766) : error C2275: 'FILE' : illegal use of this type as an
expression
Digging further, I noticed that the change to SSLeay.xs introduced in
Net-SSLeay-1.37 is assuming ANSI C99 in function CTX_use_PKCS12_file()
in that in:
CODE:
RETVAL = 1;
FILE *fp = fopen (file, "r");
The declaration of fp occurs after "RETVAL = 1".
The following simple re-ordering fixed my compilation problem:
