How to add openssl for extended functionality (e.g. hash mechanisms, the pkcs15-init tool, more signature mechanism) - download and compile the openssl sources from http://www.openssl.org/source/ - Add the inc32\ dir to your include path, the out32dll\ to your lib path and your executable path set include=%include%;.....\inc32 set lib=%lib%;.....\out32dll set path=%path%;....\out32dll - In src/tools/Makefile.mak - uncomment pkcs15-init.exe in the "TARGETS" line (optionally) - Add libeay32.lib to the "link" line - In src/libopensc/Makefile.mak - Add libeay32.lib to the "link" line - In src/pkcs11/Makefile.mak - Add libeay32.lib to the "link" line - In win32/Make.rules.mak - Add /DHAVE_OPENSSL to the "COPTS" line To add the OpenSSL code to the DLLs (so you won't need libeay32.dll anymore): statically compile OpenSSL and add gdi32.lib next to libeay32.lib in the 3 Makefile.mak files above.
