OpenSSL

OpenSSL is a library for Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols, and cryptography. Some tools require openSSL, if so, here are some instructions:

I downloaded an openssl installer from: http://www.slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html

I installed into /mingw/openssl/. I then linked the includes:

cd /mingw/include
ln -s ../openssl/include/openssl openssl

That's it.
