Re: [Chicken-users] chicken-install openssl fails on Windows

[k l]

Thanks for the reply Peter. It's still a little confusing for me - Chocolatey installed Chicken and its dependency mingw for me. Chicken is installed at c:\chicken, mingw is installed to c:\tools\mingw. When you said I need to install openSSL development lib (headers), does that mean I need to install it from mingw, which the chicken installation is aware of?

Hi there,

This error seems to indicate you have not installed the openssl library
itself.  Note that you'll need a version that supplies header files, so
if Chocolatey differentiates between development and non-development
versions, you'll need the former).

Cheers,
