Free software libraries and MinGW

Introduction

To compile, just run './configure' then do a 'make' and a 'make install'.

To install binaries, 'cd /usr' and 'tar xvjf path_to_package'.

:: gtk+ 1.3.0-20030717

• Files: Binaries | Sources | Patch

:: openssl 0.9.7c

• Files: Binaries | Sources | Patch
• Notes: You need perl to compile openssl, you can download it or install MSYSDTK (recommended) which includes it. Configuration is done by './config' and not './configure'. Shared library is not built by default; if you want to create the dll, use './config shared'. Disabling creation of rc5 and idea modules (by adding 'no-rc5' and 'no-idea' to './config') seems to be the mininum to avoid patents problems (but since I'm not a lawyer and that it depends on the country, you should do some research).
