OpenSSL Build Errors

List of all Build Errors i had with OpenSSL.

.\crypto\cryptlib.c(864) : error C2220

The following error happens, because Visual Studio 2013 and higher Versions marks GetVersion() as deprecated an openssl will build with Warning as error (/WX).

.\crypto\cryptlib.c(864) : error C2220: warning treated as error - no 'object' file generated
.\crypto\cryptlib.c(864) : warning C4996: 'GetVersion': was declared deprecated

This Error happens up to now under following Conditions:

• Visual Studio >= 2013
• OpenSSL < 1.1.0.0
• x86 Target

To avoid this warning with simple methods:

• The best way is to use a newer Version of openssl!
• Edit failing sources and mark warning as ignore
• My build scripts are removing /WX to keep it working
