Why is there no ms\do_ms.bat after perl Configure VC-WIN64A?

Question

I'm compiling OpenSSL with Visual Studio 2015. I have installed:

1. Visual Studio 2015 on Windows 10.

2. ActivePerl-5.24.0.2400-MSWin32-x64-300558.

3. nasm-2.11.08-win32.

4. OpenSSL source code by git clone git://git.openssl.org/openssl.git

What I did are:

1. Create a batch file with lines below.

   @call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" x86_amd64
   @set path=%path%;C:\Users\gchen\AppData\Local\nasm
   

2. perl Configure VC-WIN64A —prefix=C:\test\openssl

Now I should do ms\do_win64a, but I can't find this batch file. In the directory ms, there are files

2016/08/22  17:39    <DIR>          .    
2016/08/22  17:39    <DIR>          ..    
2016/08/21  14:23             3,646 applink.c    
2016/08/21  14:23             1,247 cmp.pl    
2016/08/21  14:23             2,815 segrenam.pl    
2016/08/21  14:23             4,541 tlhelp32.h    
2016/08/21  14:23             1,137 uplink-common.pl    
2016/08/21  14:23             1,472 uplink-ia64.pl    
2016/08/21  14:23             1,111 uplink-x86.pl   
2016/08/21  14:23             1,594 uplink-x86_64.pl   
2016/08/21  14:23             4,225 uplink.c   
2016/08/21  14:23             2,268 uplink.h

but there is no ms-win64a.bat.

What did I do wrong?

Answer 1

The build process has changed with the new 1.1.0 release. Probably you already figured out yourself, but anyway:

Starting with 1.1.0 there are no ms\do_*.bat files anymore.

Instead execute the following steps:

x32 compilation on Windows:

perl Configure VC-WIN32
nmake
nmake test

x64A compilation on Windows:

perl Configure VC-WIN64A
nmake
nmake test

Configure your Compiler environment as before and point your path to Perl (and NASM if used).
