Re: Compiling beta2 with openssl on XP Pro

Ok. I figured it was more complicated than that.

Thanks for the info.

That is at least partially correct. It does fix the issue, but I'm not
100% sure it's the fix we want. I'm looking at two different ways right
now. Right now we also build exclusively against a static version of
OpenSSL, and I (and everyone I spoke to about it) think it's better to
go with the DLL version. Which will require a couple of different fixes.

But it is a correct fix insofar as it enables you to compile and run.
