| - Next we need to install openssl since RustPython depends on it. However the build process for openssl is not very straight forward. We employ [Vcpkg](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg) to help us. [Clone Vcpkg](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg "Vcpkg github repository") into a folder of your choosing. I will use ```C:\vcpkg\``` in this example. Following vcpkg's installation guide, in the cloned directory | ||
| From your Powershell run the scripts. | ||
| ```Powershell | ||
| PS C:\vcpkg> .\bootstrap-vcpkg.bat | ||
| PS C:\vcpkg> .\vcpkg integrate install | ||
| ``` | ||
| Finally we install openssl by running | ||
| ```Powershell | ||
| PS C:\vcpkg> .\vcpkg install openssl:x64-windows | ||
| ``` | ||
| Get some coffee for this one. | ||
| After the installation is done, there will be a created path | ||
| ``` | ||
| C:\vcpkg\installed\x64-windows\ | ||
| ``` | ||
| Edit your User environment Variables or System Variables, whichever you prefer and set `OPENSSL_DIR` to this path |

I think this isn't necessary anymore sinceRustPython/RustPython#1841, as far as I can tell all that's necessary is a perl installation likeStrawberry Perl in order to build openssl.

Oops didn't catch that.
I will work on that.

I think this shouldn't be necessary either, as openssl is statically linked.

Until I copied it, I didn't get the built exe running. At least that was for me.

Sorry for taking a bit to get to this, I think the installation steps have been simplified since you wrote this, so hopefully it'll be easier to install on windows. |

After this long I think it's not needed anymore. I'll close this by the end of the day if I do not hear otherwise. |

Hi, thanks for contributing! Sorry for the delay. We recently discussed the windows situation. We decided that the openssl module will be disabled on windows by default, so people get a better out of box experience on windows (allthough it is without the openssl module). Still I think this post is relevant to describe how to build with all features enabled on windows. Maybe the title should be changed into |

Okay@windelbouwman I'll get to work with it. Sorry I did not get to this earlier but I haven't checked my mail lately and I was loosing hope of this being accepted. I'm off to work. |

I am closing this PR because it seems obsolete.@Joetib I hope you find something new to contribute to RustPython! |
