Process to patch Python 3.8.14 or 3.8.5 for wolfSSL on Windows about osp

[kareem-wolfssl]

Hi @ar-visions,

For a Windows build, you're going to have a much easier time using something like MinGW where you can use our ./configure script, is this possible for your setup?
Otherwise, your build flags look correct to me based on our Python build. Are you running into build issues with these flags? Note that our CMake support is incomplete, for example WOLFSSL_SCRYPT and WOLFSSL_TLSV10 are not supported via CMake, you will need to manually specify their CFLAGS. For help translating configure flags to CFLAGS, see configure.ac.

Python will need to find wolfSSL's library (.dll) and include files (.h). On Linux, this would be in /usr/local/ after running make install. I'm not sure if there's an equivalent on Windows, you may need to manually add to Python's search path, or move wolfSSL's library/header files.

Thanks,
Kareem

I have this CMakeSettings.json so far. I did a rough search to get the names, but I'm not so sure about CFlags
I believe I found the equivalent compared to the args used in the configuration line in Python/build-wolfssl.sh

I'm a bit confused as to what Python needs to find afterwards. I assume I just add a prefix to its search but not aware of the files I need to have interfaced w Python

WOLFSSL_TLSV10 not found effectively. just a note to add.
