I extracted the files to: c:\Sources\perl-5.26.0\ Now I want to build it.
I set CCTYPE = MSVC141
Now I run:

Is it possible to build perl instead of obtain downloading from ActivePerl (The installer is not working properly) or Strawberry-perl (the site was down) ?
Please tell me.
How I must define this variables:
MSVCDIR = ???
CCHOME = $(MSVCDIR)
CCINCDIR = $(CCHOME)\include
CCLIBDIR = $(CCHOME)\lib

win32/Makefile does not officially have support for building with Visual Studio 2017. But, it does have support for building with VS 2015. The reason building with Visual Studio 2015 tools require a separate configuration than with building with Visual Studio 2013 tools is the same for Visual Studio 2017 tools, so you can use the same configuration.
To do so:
Open a "x64 Native Command Tools Command Prompt for VS 2017" command window from Start.
Go to the directory in which you extracted the Perl 5.26.0 sources, and edit win32/Makefile:
Set:
CCTYPE = MSVC140
...
CCHOME = C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.10.25017
CCINCDIR = $(CCHOME)\include
CCLIBDIR = $(CCHOME)\lib\x64
Noting the version dependent directory in CCHOME. Make sure you use the version that corresponds to what you have.
Run nmake in <perl source directory>\win32. Now, I usually make some more changes, but this is the minimal amount of changes necessary to have a build.
Then, nmake test, nmake install.
Note that perls built with Visual Studio 2015 and 2017 may end up being rather useless because they link with the new platform runtime which OpenSSL does not work with. I think this means you are not going to be able to use modules such as LWP, HTTP::Tiny etc with https. I haven't investigated this a lot, so if I am wrong, I would love to be corrected.
Note that Visual Studio 2013 tools are also installed when you install Visual Studio 2017, so if you can live with certain bugs and the fact that Perl's build config for VS 2013 by default ignores the C99 features included in VS 2013, or if you are willing to hand-edit config files, I have found building with that to be more reliable.
In general, you are better off using Strawberry Perl. Using the MinGW toolchain saves a lot of time if you want to use modules that depend on C libraries.

I am compiling OpenBLAS with Visual Studio 2017, using this tutorial: https://github.com/xianyi/OpenBLAS/wiki/How-to-use-OpenBLAS-in-Microsoft-Visual-Studio#cmake-and-visual-studio. It works perfectly. However, when I try to link to a project that is using OpenBLAS, I have errors during the link.

error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol ssyevd_
error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol dsyevd_
This project was working perfectly with the downloaded binary version of OpenBLAS. The only notable difference is, I changed the include path to the one generated by CMake. And instead of linking to libopenblas.dll.a, I link to openblas.lib, which should be a more Visual-Studio-friendly way of linking...
I noticed that all these functions seems to come from Fortran files. Could that be the reason? And since OpenBLAS seems to be compilable with Visual Studio, how to fix the problem?

I am trying to compile OpenSSL 0.9.8zg on Windows 7 (32-bit) using Visual Studio 2012 express, and ActivePerl. When I try to compile without any options:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\Tools\vsvars32.bat"
Perl Configure VC-WIN32 --prefix=c:\openssl-0.9.8zg-bin\
ms\do_ms
nmake -f ms\ntdll.mak
The DLL will compile, and I can use it with my project. However, if I try to compile OpenSSL with no-ssl2 or no-ssl3 or both, the it fails during the make. My actual configure line looks like:
Perl Configure no-ssl2 no-ssl3 VC-WIN32 --prefix=c:\openssl-0.9.8zg-bin\

I don't really understand why it would try to link object files for these if I'm calling no-ssl2 no-ssl3 in the build option. From the looks of the makefile, it's specifying the options:

I would appreciate any help/guidance anyone can provide.
I built ffmpeg 1.2.1 as a static lib - x64, debug. And I tried to open one of my older projects that links against it. After modifying some changed APIs and similar in my source, it compiled fine, but I have major problems with linking.
EDITED: the complete latest build output:

1>libmingwex.a(lib64_libmingwex_a-mingw_get_codepage.o) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __mingw_get_msvcrt_handle
What am I doing wrong? What am I missing here?
Does ffmpeg even work today on Windows platform as a static lib, or it becomes less functional on Windows with each new version?
First 8 errors could be solved by manually inserting
#define _CRTIMP
in some files. This will prevent incorrect use of declspec(__dllimport). We are building a static lib, not a DLL, so it shouldn't be there. I also tried using --extra-cflags='-D_CRTIMP' while running configure before building ffmpeg, but it brakes the build totally. So, manual way is the only way.
The last 2 errors are total bitch:
libmingwex.a(lib64_libmingwex_a-mingw_output_format.o) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __mingw_get_msvcrt_handle referenced in function __mingw_set_output_format
1>libmingwex.a(lib64_libmingwex_a-mingw_get_codepage.o) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __mingw_get_msvcrt_handle
I found these symbols in libmingw32.a (if I remember correctly). But, when I link it, I have conflicts with LIBCMTD.lib. Removing the LIBCMTD.lib creates tons of unresolved externals.So, I would say that today we are not able to build ffmpeg as static x64 lib on Windows. It was in a way expected, because each new version was less Windows friendly.
I have been trying to upgrade to wxWidgets 2.9.4 over my old 2.8.12 and have run into problems. I compiled it without errors from the command line but when I try to use them in the program that worked just fine under the previous version I get unresolved externals. I cut it down to just a bare frame and TextCtrl object and it still does this (it's basically identical to one of the sample codes at the moment).
I tried the following commands to build the static libraries:
nmake -f makefile.vc SHARED=0 BUILD=release + nmake -f makefile.vc SHARED=0 BUILD=debug
nmake -f makefile.vc SHARED=0 MONOLITHIC=0 BUILD=release + nmake -f makefile.vc SHARED=0 MONOLITHIC=0 BUILD=debug
nmake -f makefile.vc SHARED=0 BUILD=release UNICODE=0 + nmake -f makefile.vc SHARED=0 BUILD=debug UNICODE=0
nmake -f makefile.vc SHARED=0 BUILD=release UNICODE=0 MONOLITHIC=0 + nmake -f makefile.vc SHARED=0 BUILD=debug UNICODE=0 MONOLITHIC=0
Note that I tried using them with both the recommended unicode and no longer supported non-unicode (changed the project properties in Configuration Properties->General accordingly). Also, I used multi-threaded DLL /MD and /MDd linking as recommended by the wxWidgets manual.
Edit: Tried using \MT and \MTd as well, same effect.
From all of the above I get the same linker errors listed below when compiling my application. Please advise me what to do because I have ran out of ideas...
Additionally, as a final resort I built the whole thing using the converted MSVS project from the ../build/msw folder but it gave me the same results.

All errors coming from libpng are due to not linking with wxzlib[d].lib, simply add it to the list of libraries in your project. Or use the recommended way to build wxWidgets projects with MSVC and use auto-linking by prepending -I$(WXWIN)/include/msvc to your compiler header files search path.
The rest of the errors (which you only get in debug build which is suspicious on its own) are due to a mismatch between ANSI and Unicode builds. I don't know which version do you use finally as you seem to have built all of them at one moment or the other but if you use the default build, then you need to have _UNICODE and/or UNICODE defined in your project options.
Finally, to avoid such build mismatches in the future, either do nmake -f makefile.vc clean or use different build directories by using unique COMPILER_PREFIX for each build in the future. This is really not rocket science, you just need to avoid confusing yourself by doing too many things at once. Good luck!
Go to your project's settings and change General -> Character Set property accordingly. If you compiled the wx libs with UNICODE=0 (however recommended value is 1) then you need to use Multi-Byte Character set. If compiled ith UNICODE=1 then set that property to Unicode
As for runtime libs, if you compiled with SHARED=0 then in your project settings you will need to use C++ -> Code Generation -> Runtime Libraries property with 'Multi-Threaded Debug' and 'Multi-Threaded' for Debug and Release build accordingly.
The easiest way is to build wxWidgets libs from Visual Studio (there is a build/msw folder which contains solution file for VS2010) and in your project set the same properties as wx libs projects have.
I had this problem as well. I solved it by changing the setting in:
C/C++ | Language | Treat WChar_t as built in type
to Yes.
