[noreply@sourceforge.net]

Bug #110683, was updated on 2000-Jul-31 14:14
Here is a current snapshot of the bug.

Project: Python
Category: Windows
Status: Closed
Resolution: Later
Bug Group: Feature Request
Priority: 4
Summary: can't compile with SSL support on WinNT (PR#403)

Details: Jitterbug-Id: 403
Submitted-By: falk.lehmann@gmx.net
Date: Mon, 17 Jul 2000 21:59:56 -0400 (EDT)
Version: 1.6a2
OS: WinNT 4.0


I tried to compile Python 1.6a2 on a WinNT box using VC++ 6.00.
The compiler stops with some warnings and an error message:
K:\Projects\Python-1.6a2\Modules\socketmodule.c(2081) : error C2099: initializer
is not a constant

K:\Projects\Python-1.6a2\Modules\socketmodule.c(1947) : warning C4047:

Thanks in advance for fixing (at least the error).

Please try the current CVS tree (on its way to 2.0); we have no
problems compiling this on VC 6.0.

Guido,
sorry, but forgot to write, that I switched on the USE_SSL macro.
And then the _socket module does not compile.

It appears that the Python SSL code hasn't been ported to Windows.
We'll add this to our TODO list, but it's low priority...  Perhaps you
could give it a shot yourself?  See www.python.org/patches/ for how to
contribute.

Windows compile fails when using openSSL.

Comment:
This is a bug.  Standard extensions modules should compile, even on obscure platforms like Windows NT.  Need a Windows user with time to install OpenSSL to fix this.

Comment:
Let's not worry about this for 2.0. While the OpenSSL support is part of the socket module, we don't have the resources right now to port that support to Windows.

Comment:
As we've discussed, this is not an issue for 2.0.  Assigned to Tim for resurrection when appropriate since this is Windows-specific.

Moved to PEP42, awaiting a volunteer can do this.
