RE: static linked ncat - can't find openssl

["Rob Nicholls" <robert () robnicholls co uk>]

Hi Rob,

You probably need to check out some additional files:

http://nmap.org/book/inst-windows.html

"Some of Nmap's dependencies on Windows are inconvenient to build. For this
reason, precompiled binaries of the dependencies are stored in Subversion,
in the directory /nmap-mswin32-aux. When building from source, whether from
a source code release or from Subversion, check out /nmap-mswin32-aux as
described below."

If you stick the files in a directory adjacent to the nmap source code, I
think the projects are configured to use the include files that are part of
the nmap-win32-aux. For example, if you've checked out the code to
"C:\nmap\" you should have these additional dependencies checked out to
"C:\nmap-mswin32-aux\" and this includes "OpenSSL\include\openssl".

Hopefully it'll work after that. Otherwise you may need to manually edit
Nmap's projects within Visual C++ to include the OpenSSL files you've placed
in the different directory.
