We do have openssl-devel installed, and the `sha.h' header file looks identical to the one we're used to (from OS X), so we're unsure why this bug is occurring. Since I haven't found any info on this on the 'net, I'll have to assume the mistake is somewhere in our code :-) Before we've fixed that, however, we can obviously not release a Windows (Cygwin) binary. As to the comments about this thread being on the wrong mailing list: 1) I don't want to be a bother - if a list moderator wants this discussion to stop, I'll stop, and I hereby apologize for any trouble I've apparently caused. 2) I personally believe that Cygwin is primarily an environment, and not a distribution. We do use Cygwin to build our project, because Cygwin feels less "alien" from our point of view. At the same time, however, we do not want Windows-based users to feel forced into Cygwin's behaviours. We want to distribute a Windows application - GPL'd, with some Unix-style quirks, and compatible to the other major OS'es out there, but Windows nevertheless. Those who truly want a full Unix experience wouldn't use Windows in the first place, and thus not Cygwin either.
