+Windows does not ship OpenSSL by default, so we need to get the library from somewhere else.
|
|
|
+However, a default python installation does include `libcrypto` which is required by borg.
|
|
|
+The only things which are missing to build borg are the header and `*.lib` files.
|
|
|
+Luckily the python developers provide all required files in a separate repository.
