this is tested on Win32 but it may also work in Win 3.1 with some
modification. See the end of this file for Eric's original comments.
- You will Perl for Win32 (available from http://activestate.com/ActivePerl)
+ You need Perl for Win32 (available from http://www.activestate.com/ActivePerl)
and one of the following C compilers:
* Visual C++
* Borland C
* GNU C (Mingw32 or Cygwin32)
+ If you want to compile in the assembly language routines with Visual C++ then
+ you will need an assembler. This is worth doing because it will result in
+ faster code: for example it will typically result in a 2 times speedup in the
+ RSA routines. Currently the following assemblers are supported:
+
+ * Microsoft MASM (aka "ml")
+ * Free Netwide Assembler NASM.
+
+ MASM was I believe distributed in the past with VC++ and it is also part of
+ the MSDN SDKs. It is no longer distributed as part of VC++ and can be hard
+ to get hold of. It can be purchased: see Microsoft's site for details at:
+ http://www.microsoft.com/
+
+ NASM is freely available. Version 0.98 was used during testing: other versions
+ may also work. It is available from many places, see for example:
+ http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/devel/nasm/binaries/win32/
+ The NASM binary nasmw.exe needs to be installed anywhere on your PATH.
+
If you are compiling from a tarball or a CVS snapshot then the Win32 files
may well be not up to date. This may mean that some "tweaking" is required to
get it all to work. See the trouble shooting section later on for if (when?)
Visual C++
----------
- Firstly you should run Configure and build the Win32 Makefiles:
+ Firstly you should run Configure:
> perl Configure VC-WIN32
- > ms\do_ms
+
+ Next you need to build the Makefiles and optionally the assembly language
+ files:
+
+ - If you are using MASM then run:
+
+ > ms\do_masm
+
+ - If you are using NASM then run:
+
+ > ms\do_nasm
+
+ - If you don't want to use the assembly language files at all then run:
+
+ > ms\do_ms
If you get errors about things not having numbers assigned then check the
troubleshooting section: you probably wont be able to compile it as it
Tweaks:
- There are various changes you can make to the Win32 compile environment. If
- you have the MASM assembler 'ml' then you can try the assembly language code.
- To do this remove the 'no-asm' part from do_ms.bat. You can also add 'debug'
- here to make a debugging version of the library.
+ There are various changes you can make to the Win32 compile environment. By
+ default the library is not compiled with debugging symbols. If you add 'debug'
+ to the mk1mk.pl lines in the do_* batch file then debugging symbols will be
+ compiled in.
The default Win32 environment is to leave out any Windows NT specific
features.
To build OpenSSL, you need the Mingw32 package and GNU make.

One final comment about compiling applications linked to the OpenSSL library.
If you don't use the multithreaded DLL runtime library (/MD option) your

- below for more details.

- Tweaks
- ------
-
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-The orignal Windows build instructions from SSLeay follow.
-Note: some of this may be out of date and no longer applicable
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-The Microsoft World.
-
-The good news, to build SSLeay for the Microsft World
-
-Windows 3.1 DLL's
-perl Configure VC-WIN16
-nmake -f ms\w31dll.mak
-
-Windows NT/95 DLL's
-perl Configure VC-WIN32
-nmake -f ms\ntdll.mak
-
-Now the bad news
-All builds were done using Microsofts Visual C++ 1.52c and [45].x.
-If you are a borland person, you are probably going to have to help me
-finish the stuff in util/pl/BC*pl
-
-All builds were made under Windows NT - this means long filenames, so
-you may have problems under Windows 3.1 but probably not under 95.
-
-Because file pointers don't work in DLL's under Windows 3.1 (well at
-least stdin/stdout don't and I don't like having to differentiate
-between these and other file pointers), I now use the BIO file-pointer
-module, which needs to be linked into your application. You can either
-use the memory buffer BIO for IO, or compile bss_file.c into your
-application, it is in the apps directory and is just a copy of
-crypto/buffer/bss_file.c with #define APPS_WIN16 added.
-I have not yet automated the makefile to automatically copy it into 'out'
-for a win 3.1 build....
-
-All callbacks passed into SSLeay for Windows 3.1 need to be of type
-_far _loadds.
-
-I don't support building with the pascal calling convention.
-
-The DLL and static builds are large memory model.
-
-To build static libraries for NT/95 or win 3.1
-
-perl util/mk1mf.pl VC-WIN32 > mf-stat.nt
-perl util/mk1mf.pl VC-WIN16 > mf-stat.w31
-for DLL's
-perl util/mk1mf.pl dll VC-WIN32 > mf-dll.nt
-perl util/mk1mf.pl dll VC-WIN16 > mf-dll.w31
-
-Again you will notice that if you dont have perl, you cannot do this.
-
-Now the next importaint issue. Running Configure!
-I have small assember code files for critical big number library operation
-in crypto/bn/asm. There is, asm code, object files and uuencode
-object files. They are
-x86nt32.asm - 32bit flat memory model assember - suitable Win32
-x86w16.asm - 16bit assember - used in the msdos build.
-x86w32.asm - 32bit assember, win 3.1 segments, used for win16 build.
-
-If you feel compelled to build the 16bit maths routines in the windows 3.1
-build,
-perl Configure VC-W31-16
-perl util/mk1mf.pl dll VC-W31-16 > mf-dll.w31
-
-If you hate assember and don't want anything to do with it,
-perl util/mk1mf.pl no-asm VC-WIN16 > mf-dll.w31
-will work for any of the makefile generations.
-
-There are more options to mk1mf.pl but these all leave the temporary
-files in 'tmp' and the output files in 'out' by default.
-
-The NT build is done for console mode.
-
-The Windows 3.1 version of SSLeay uses quickwin, the interface is ugly
-but it is better than nothing. If you want ugly, try doing anything
-that involves getting a password. I decided to be ugly instead of
-echoing characters. For Windows 3.1 I would just sugest using the
-msdos version of the ssleay application for command line work.
-The QuickWin build is primarily for testing.
-
-For both NT and Windows 3.1, I have not written the code so that
-s_client, s_server can take input from the keyboard. You can happily
-start applications up in separate windows, watch them handshake, and then sit
-there for-ever. I have not had the time to get this working, and I've
-been able to test things from a unix box to the NT box :-).
-Try running ssleay s_server on the windows box
-(with either -cert ../apps/server.pem -www)
-and run ssleay s_time from another window.
-This often stuffs up on Windows 3.1, but I'm not worried since this is
-probably a problem with my demo applications, not the libraries.
-
-After a build of one of the version of microsoft SSLeay,
-'cd ms' and then run 'test'. This should check everything out and
-even does a trial run of generating certificates.
-'test.bat' requires that perl be install, you be in the ms directory
-(not the test directory, thats for unix so stay out :-) and that the
-build output directory be ../out
-
-On a last note, you will probably get division by zero errors and
-stuff after a build. This is due to your own inability to follow
-instructions :-).
-
-The reasons for the problem is probably one of the following.
-
-1) You did not run Configure. This is critical for windows 3.1 when
- using assember. The values in crypto/bn/bn.h must match the
- ones requred for the assember code. (remember that if you
- edit crypto/bn/bn.h by hand, it will be clobered the next time
- you run Configure by the contents of crypto/bn/bn.org).
- SSLeay version -o will list the compile options.
- For VC-WIN32 you need bn(64,32) or bn(32,32)
- For VC-W31-32/VC-WIN16 you need bn(32,32)
- For VC-W31-16 you need bn(32,16) or bn(16,16)
- For VC-MSDOS you need bn(32,16) or bn(16,16).
-
- The first number will be 2 times bigger than the second if
- BN_LLONG is defined in bn.h and the size of the second number
- depends on the 'bits' defined at the start of bn.h. Have a
- look, it's all reasonably clear.
- If you want to start messing with 8 bit builds and things like
- that, build without the assember by re-generating a makefile
- via 'perl util/mk1mf.pl no-asm'.
-2) You tried to build under MS-DOS or Windows 3.1 using the /G3
- option. Don't. It is buggy (thats why you just got that
- error) and unless you want to work out which optimising flag
- to turn off, I'm not going to help you :-). I also noticed
- that code often ran slower when compiled with /G3.
-3) Under NT/95, malloc goes stupid. You are probably linking with
- the wrong library, there are problems if you mix the threaded
- and non-threaded libraries (due to the DLL being staticly
- linked with one and the applicaion using another.
-
-Well hopefully thats most of the MS issues handled, see you in ssl-users :-).

-SSLeay 0.6.5
-For Windows 95/NT, add CRYPTO_malloc_init() to your program before any
-calls to the SSLeay libraries. This function will insert callbacks so that
-the SSLeay libraries will use the same malloc(), free() and realloc() as
-your application so 'problem 3)' mentioned above will go away.
-
-There is now DES assember for Windows NT/95. The file is
-crypto/des/asm/win32.asm and replaces crypto/des/des_enc.c in the build.
-
-There is also Blowfish assember for Windows NT/95. The file is
-crypto/bf/asm/win32.asm and replaces crypto/bf/bf_enc.c in the build.

+ program will almost certainly crash because malloc gets confused -- the
+ OpenSSL DLLs are statically linked to one version, the application must
+ not use a different one. You might be able to work around such problems
+ by adding CRYPTO_malloc_init() to your program before any calls to the
+ OpenSSL libraries: This tells the OpenSSL libraries to use the same
+ malloc(), free() and realloc() as the application. However there are many
+ standard library functions used by OpenSSL that call malloc() internally
+ (e.g. fopen()), and OpenSSL cannot change these; so in general you cannot
+ rely on CYRPTO_malloc_init() solving your problem, and you should
+ consistently use the multithreaded library.
