Bo,

Glad to hear that you succeded.

Here is the "step by step" to build the full version without removing any
projects - it will be easier for you in the long run.

1. Checkout the code just like before and open the workspace file
2. Start building and wait for an already familiar errors.
3. Get the OpenSSL installer following the link on CVSNT page. Download the
latest, currently Win32 OpenSSL (0.9.7b) v1.0 Final.
4. Install it, for example in C:\OpenSSL folder.
5. The last error was: Cannot open include file: 'openssl/ssl.h'. Check that
the missing file is in the C:\OpenSSL\include\openssl\ folder. You have to
add folder to the VC include directories so the file can be found by the
compiler:
    6. Go to the Tools -> Options. Find the Directories tab.
    7. Set the "Show the directories for" combo box to "Include files".
    8. Click the New button from the mini-toolbar. Enter
"C:\OPENSSL\INCLUDE"
    9. Click OK and repeat the build.

10. The compilation will be OK now, but the linker will complain about the
missing libraries, eg.:
--------------------Configuration: sserver_protocol - Win32
Debug--------------------
Compiling...
sserver.c
Linking...
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file "ssleay32.lib"
Error executing link.exe.

11. Check where is the missing "ssleay32.lib" file. You will find two
places:
- C:\OpenSSL\lib\Builder5
- C:\OpenSSL\lib\VC
12. Since we are using VC++ we need the second one.
13. Go back to the same options tab, but change the combo box to "Library
files".
14. Add "C:\OPENSSL\LIB\VC"
15. Click OK and try the build again. It should complete without any
problems now.

Good Luck!
Jerzy
