I can't figure out how to build a Windows package for ssl-1.1.tar.gz, and probably don't have the tools to do it anyway. I presume that both a Windows machine and Visual Studio (because there's a C extension) is required?
Anyone out there who's interested in the challenge? It's at http://www.parc.com/janssen/transient/ssl-1.1.tar.gz.
I had a bit of a look at this. I think I managed to get it building:
find_ssl() is along way from working on Windows. Python itself uses magic to locate an SSL directory in the main Python directory's parent. On my system, this is c:\src\openssl-0.9.7e, but obviously that could be almost anywhere, and with almost any name. See PCBuild\build_ssl.py and PCBuild_ssl.mak for the gory details. I'm not sure how you would like to approach this (insist on an environment variable for the top-level SSL dir name?), but in the meantime I hacked find_ssl() to:
ssl_incs = [r"\src\openssl-0.9.7e\inc32",] ssl_libs = [r"\src\openssl-0.9.7e\out32"] return ssl_incs, ssl_libs, ["libeay32", "ssleay32", "gdi32", "wsock32"]
The call to find_ssl() appears to discard the 3rd param:
ssl_incs, ssl_libs, libs = find_ssl() ... ext_modules=[Extension('ssl._ssl2', ['ssl/_ssl2.c'], include_dirs = ssl_incs + [socket_inc], library_dirs = ssl_libs, libraries = ['ssl', 'crypto'], depends = ['ssl/socketmodule.h'])],
The 'libraries =' line probably means to pass 'libs' rather than the literal.
- The "depends = ['ssl/socketmodule.h']" fails for me - no header of that name exists in the ssl directory in your archive.
After those changes I was able to get it built and tested: """ Ran 15 tests in 3.157s
OK """
Hope this helps,
Mark
