Re^3: Error while installing the Net::SSLeay module on windows.

You failed to include the closing </code> tag at the end of your post ;-)

The import libraries are not being found.
Actually, they might be 'static' libraries ... anyway, I think they're named 'libssleay32.a' and 'libssl32.a' on my Strawberry Perl installations ... and they need to be locatable, or you'll get those "undefined reference" messages that you're seeing.
Where is libssleay32.a (or libssleay32.dll.a) on your system ?
I recommend setting the LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to the location of that '.a' file, and trying again.

BTW, I happen to have an 'MSWin32-x86-multi-thread' build of Strawberry Perl 5.24.
So I ran cpan -i Net::SSLeay and it installed version 1.90 without any trouble at all (built against OpenSSL 1.0.2h).

Cheers,
Rob

Hi Rob, i tried with upgrade openssl to 1.1.1l but having the same issue while installing Net::SSLeay. OpenSSL> version OpenSSL 1.1.1l 24 Aug 2021	[reply]

i tried with upgrade openssl to 1.1.1l but having the same issue while installing Net::SSLeay Your immediate problem has nothing to do with the version of OpenSSL being used. The problem is that the Net::SSLeay-1.90 build is not linking to the OpenSSL libraries that can resolve those undefined references you're seeing. On closer inspection, I find that my Strawberry Perl build of Net::SSLeay-1.90 links to OpenSSL libraries named 'libeay32.a', 'libssl32.a' and 'libcrypt32.a'. Your unfound libraries (probably with the same names as mine, unless they've been built using a Microsoft Compiler) should be located somewhere within your OpenSSL installation. For me, they were all in a folder named 'lib' - though libcrypt32.a was in a different 'lib' folder to the other 2. Set the LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to the full path to that/those location(s). You separate multiple locations with ';' - same as with the PATH environment variable. All Net::SSLeay builds begin with the `perl Makefile.PL` command. Could you post the output you get for that part of the build process. For me, I see: C:\sisyphusion\Net-SSLeay-1.90>perl Makefile.PL Do you want to run external tests? These tests will fail if you do not have network connectivity. [n] WARNING: can't open config file: /z/extlib/_2016Q2_/ssl/openssl.cnf * Found OpenSSL-1.0.2h installed in C:\_32\strawberry5.24.0_32int\pe +rl\..\c * Be sure to use the same compiler and options to compile your OpenS +SL, perl, and Net::SSLeay. Mixing and matching compilers is not supported. Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good Generating a dmake-style Makefile Writing Makefile for Net::SSLeay Writing MYMETA.yml and MYMETA.json [download] Cheers, Rob	[reply] [d/l] [select]
