Erm, sorry..what do you mean? ;-) If you mean why do you need to run "config; make" etc, when openssl is in the distribution, then the answer is you don't. There's no reason to re-build it unless a) there's a feature you need that's not in the distribution or b) you need to debug a problem, etc, etc. Elfyn -- Elfyn McBratney, EMCB http://www.emcb.co.uk elfyn@emcb.co.uk -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
