I have a recent problem when I try to compile Curl static lib on windows with BoringSSL. The above commands where working fine 6 months ago, but with latest versions of Curl and BoringSSL I came into an issue in the nmake command.
What I'm doing:
call buildconf.bat
cd "winbuild"
set RTLIBCFG=static
set _CL_=-MTd -Ob0 -Od -Zi -FS
call nmake /NOLOGO /X - /F MakeFile.vc VC=16 mode=static MACHINE=x64 DEBUG=yes WITH_PREFIX="C:/cpplibs/Curl" WITH_SSL=static SSL_PATH="C:/cpplibs/BoringSSL" ENABLE_SSPI=yes ENABLE_IPV6=yes ENABLE_IDN=yes ENABLE_WINSSL=no
What I face with in console output:

So I've investigated, and all the errors at the indicated lines seems to have in common the X509_NAME typedef usage, but the definition is correct in openssl/base.h:
typedef struct X509_name_st X509_NAME;
And in openssl/x509.h:
struct X509_name_st {
STACK_OF(X509_NAME_ENTRY) * entries;
int modified; // true if 'bytes' needs to be built
BUF_MEM *bytes;
// unsigned long hash; Keep the hash around for lookups
unsigned char *canon_enc;
int canon_enclen;
} /* X509_NAME */;
Furthermore the file ..\lib\vtls\openssl.c in Curl lib includes <openssl/x509v3.h> that includes <openssl/x509.h> that includes <openssl/base.h> ... So everything should be OK, but it's not.
Is there something missing in my commands ?
