You should be using the latest openssl, not an old SSLeay package. See
"http://www.openssl.org/";. If I recall, you need perl installed, and
should be able to configure under bash. You will have to deal with

latest version of DJGPP and bash.

This sounds like you are compiling for Windows. To compile for DJGPP,
follow the installation instructions for unix, not windows, and modify
as required.

Good luck. If you have specific problems, you can write back here, or
get help in the newsgroup comp.os.msdos.djgpp.
