I am encouraging and offering the poster a way to solve their problem, after
providing some possible reasons for dropping support from some ECs.
Rebuilding a Cygwin package from source using cygport is a relatively easy
task.
Easy compared to what, assembly? I am comfortable with 3 programming languages,
and learning 4 others, and compiling C is not "relatively easy". Especially
considering the scope:
$ cd openssl-master
$ find -name '*.c' -exec wc -l {} + | tail -1
419738 total
400,000 lines of C.
I am not presuming, but assuming some amount of technical expertise, based on
a poster asking about openssl configuration and which ECs they want to
support. If they need more help they can ask in a follow up.
reread the post:
https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2019-06/msg00012.html
He shows some domain knowledge of OpenSSL, but where are you getting that he
knows about compiling C? A conservative read would reveal that he might have no
knowledge of compiling C, and you want him to compile 400,000 lines of C because
its "easy".
Please refrain from your own inappropriate assumptions and meta-commentary
based on that, as this is not a social media platform.
No, but it is a public forum. and I will call out nonsense if I see it. As your
type of comments are off putting to new users.
Why would you assume the poster is a novice? Before commenting, please try
yourself to consider multiple perspectives on posts and replies?
As should you.
