Problems running str0m examples on windows

[ValorZard]

Hello! I'm having a lot of difficults trying to build the openssl dependency for str0m for whatever reason. I want to run the chat example, but cargo chokes on building openssl (probably because of something weird happening with strawberry perl).

C:\github\str0m>cargo run --example chat
   Compiling openssl-sys v0.9.107
    Building [======================>  ] 174/183: openssl-sys(build)

I WANT to switch to using wincrypto, but even running with wincrypto still causes the same issue

C:\github\str0m>cargo run --features wincrypto --example chat
   Compiling openssl-sys v0.9.107
    Building [======================>  ] 181/190: openssl-sys(build)

I'm really not sure what to do here

Disable default features then enable wincrypto

[ValorZard]

C:\github\str0m>cargo run  --no-default-features --features wincrypto --example chat
error: target `chat` in package `str0m` requires the features: `openssl`
Consider enabling them by passing, e.g., `--features="openssl"`

C:\github\str0m>```

Yeah not sure about the chat example. That might require you to setup OpenSSL properly on your machine.

@ValorZard I wonder if that really needs openssl. In Cargo.toml you find this:

[[example]]
name = "chat"
required-features = ["openssl"]

[[example]]
name = "http-post"
required-features = ["openssl"]

What happens if you just remove openssl there?

[ValorZard]

Doing this worked @algesten

I did the same thing to the http-post example and it worked just fine too

[algesten]

Right. Hm. Wonder if we should adjust this in documentation or try to make it work automatically? 🤔

[ValorZard]

@algesten making this work automatically would be amazing ngl alternatively, have you thought about adding something like mbedTLS? thats one of the libraries libdatachannel uses for TLS related stuff
