It appears that the extconf.rb file for openssl assumes mingw. The problem is that gdi32 and wsock32 need to be linked, even for Visual Studio.

The simple fix is to change "if $mingw" to "if File::ALT_SEPARATOR" on line 40.

I didn't notice this by now, because there was no problem for building mswin at all.
Are these lines really necessary on mingw?

[djberg96 (Daniel Berger)]

Can we get this changed please?

• Description updated (diff)

gdi32 and wsock32 are Windows specific but File::ALT_SEPARATOR is not.

I'm not sure if they are necessary or not on mingw.

Looking at the source code, File::ALT_SEPARATOR only appears to be defined on Windows. It's set in file.c if DOSISH is defined, and the DOSISH macro is set in defines.h if _WIN32 is defined.

In any case, it's definitely not limited to $mingw.

First of all, from where did your "openssl" libraries come?
ws2_32.lib should be linked by the default, and I can't get why openssl needs GDI.
