"/bin/link.exe", rename /bin/link.exe to something else so that the
Visual studio's linker is used.
+* For pthread support, install the library, dll and includes of pthreads-win32
+project from
+ftp://sourceware.org/pub/pthreads-win32/prebuilt-dll-2-9-1-release to a
+directory (e.g.: C:/pthread).

* Get the Open vSwitch sources from either cloning the repo using git
or from a distribution tar ball.
the right compiler, linker, libraries, Open vSwitch component installation
directories, etc. For example,
- % ./configure CC=./build-aux/cccl LD="`which link`" LIBS="-lws2_32 ..." \
+ % ./configure CC=./build-aux/cccl LD="`which link`" LIBS="-lws2_32" \

- --sysconfdir="C:/openvswitch/etc"
+ --sysconfdir="C:/openvswitch/etc" --with-pthread="C:/pthread"
* Run make for the ported executables in the top source directory, e.g.:
- % make utilities/ovs-vsctl.exe ovsdb/ovsdb-server.exe
+ % make lib/vswitch-idl.h lib/vtep-idl.h ofproto/ipfix-entities.def
+ % make ovsdb/ovsdb-server.exe ovsdb/ovsdb-tool.exe ovsdb/ovsdb-client.exe \

+OpenSSL, Open vSwitch and Visual C++
+------------------------------------
+To get SSL support for Open vSwitch on Windows, do the following:
+
+* Install OpenSSL for Windows as suggested at
+http://www.openssl.org/related/binaries.html.
+The link as of this writing suggests to download it from
+http://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html and the latest version is
+"Win32 OpenSSL v1.0.1f".
+
+Note down the directory where OpenSSL is installed (e.g.: C:/OpenSSL-Win32).
+
+* While configuring the package, specify the OpenSSL directory path.
+For example,
+
+ % ./configure CC=./build-aux/cccl LD="`which link`" LIBS="-lws2_32 ..." \
+ --prefix="C:/openvswitch/usr" --localstatedir="C:/openvswitch/var" \
+ --sysconfdir="C:/openvswitch/etc" --enable-ssl \
+ --with-openssl="C:/OpenSSL-Win32"
+
+* Run make for the ported executables.
