both refer to this X509_NAME issue.

Adding /DNOCRYPT to GNUTLS_CFLAGS in config.nmake seems to work with
MSVC2005

Thanks for pointing it out!

As the threads suggest, this isn't a direct problem with the MSVC version used, but if a Platform SDK is used or not.

I've tried:

Visual Studio 2005 compiles without errors (/DNOCRYPT or not)

Visual C++2005 Express Edition + Platform SDK gives the errors on openssl.h (/DNOCRYPT or not)!

So I've changed the config.nmake accordingly, with a new PLATFORM_SDK_DIR setting -> if a platform SDK is used, don't compile GNUTLS.

Again, the new settings in config.nmake are still experimental and subject to change - e.g. I currently don't know if the SDK setting needs the dir or not, but time and further experiments will tell :-)
