Re: Microsoft visual C++ compilation problems

[Aris Adamantiadis <aris@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It's strange, do you know what's causing problems with openssl ? v0-7
should work with openssl 1.0.1. It's openssl 1.1 that requires important
changes.
About the other compiler question:
I'm not qualified enough with windows to tell if that should work or
not. On sane operating systems, mixing compilers for C is not a problem,
but it's windows here :)
