You need Perl for Win32. Unless you will build on Cygwin, you will need

If you are compiling from a tarball or a CVS snapshot then the Win32 files

get it all to work. See the trouble shooting section later on for if (when?)
it goes wrong.

GNU C (Cygwin)
--------------
Cygwin provides a bash shell and GNU tools environment running
on NT 4.0, Windows 9x, Windows ME, Windows 2000, and Windows XP.
Consequently, a make of OpenSSL with Cygwin is closer to a GNU
bash environment such as Linux than to other the other Win32
makes.
Cygwin implements a Posix/Unix runtime system (cygwin1.dll).
It is also possible to create Win32 binaries that only use the
Microsoft C runtime system (msvcrt.dll or crtdll.dll) using
MinGW. MinGW can be used in the Cygwin development environment
or in a standalone setup as described in the following section.
To build OpenSSL using Cygwin:
* Install Cygwin (see http://cygwin.com/)
* Install Perl and ensure it is in the path. Both Cygwin perl
(5.6.1-2 or newer) and ActivePerl work.
* Run the Cygwin bash shell
* $ tar zxvf openssl-x.x.x.tar.gz
$ cd openssl-x.x.x
To build the Cygwin version of OpenSSL:
$ ./config
[...]
$ make
[...]
$ make test
$ make install
This will create a default install in /usr/local/ssl.
To build the MinGW version (native Windows) in Cygwin:
$ ./Configure mingw
[...]
$ make
[...]
$ make test
$ make install
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.
"bc" is not provided in older Cygwin distribution. This causes a
non-fatal error in "make test" but is otherwise harmless. If
desired and needed, GNU bc can be built with Cygwin without change.
GNU C (MinGW)
-------------
* Compiler installation:
MinGW is available from http://www.mingw.org. Run the installer and
set the MinGW \bin directory to the PATH in "System Properties" or
set the MinGW bin directory to the PATH in "System Properties" or
autoexec.bat.

on NT 4.0, Windows 9x, Windows ME, Windows 2000, and Windows XP.
Consequently, a make of OpenSSL with Cygwin is closer to a GNU
bash environment such as Linux than to other W32 makes which are
based on a single makefile approach. Cygwin implements Posix/Unix
calls through cygwin1.dll, and is contrasted to MingW which links
dynamically to msvcrt.dll or crtdll.dll.
To build OpenSSL using Cygwin:
* Install Cygwin (see http://cygwin.com/)
* 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
