Hello Claude,
Have you see these?
http://www.openssl.org/related/binaries.html
http://qt-project.org/wiki/Compiling-OpenSSL-with-MinGW
Thank you for those links, I will look into them.
There are likely other similar resources. Note that I have not used
any of them. When faced with similar problems with MinGW, I now tend
to move to cygwin. This sort of fight can be tiring and fruitless.
This is a possible solution, albeit a very dissatisfying one. The nice
thing would be to compile to windows binaries, and not to side step this
by installing a Cygwin system.
Unix & Linux software just builds more easily with cygwin; this is
expected since the mission of cygwin is to provide a compatibility
layer between Unix/Linux/ POSIX software and MS Windows. Take a look
at cugwin's license; some people do not like it.
I visited the #chicken channel on http://webchat.freenode.net/ and spoke
with sjamaan. After numerous attempts, this is how far we got:
1.) I installed the openssh (dev) and zlip (dev) files with MinGW and we
fooled around with different compilation parameters. This is the last
result:

Perhaps someone enlightened in the dark arts of windows MinGW could help out
here.
