supported.
+ Visual C++ (native Windows)
+ ---------------------------
+
+ Installation directories
+
+ The default installation directories are derived from environment
+ variables.
+
+ For VC-WIN32, the following defaults are use:
+
+ PREFIX: %ProgramFiles(86)%\OpenSSL
+ OPENSSLDIR: %CommonProgramFiles(86)%\SSL
+
+ For VC-WIN32, the following defaults are use:
+
+ PREFIX: %ProgramW6432%\OpenSSL
+ OPENSSLDIR: %CommonProgramW6432%\SSL
+
+ Should those environment variables not exist (on a pure Win32
+ installation for examples), these fallbacks are used:
+
+ PREFIX: %ProgramFiles%\OpenSSL
+ OPENSSLDIR: %CommonProgramFiles%\SSL
+

GNU C (Cygwin)
--------------
Cygwin implements a Posix/Unix runtime system (cygwin1.dll) on top of the
Windows subsystem and provides a bash shell and GNU tools environment.
Consequently, a make of OpenSSL with Cygwin is virtually identical to the
- Unix procedure. It is also possible to create Windows binaries that only
- use the Microsoft C runtime system (msvcrt.dll or crtdll.dll) using
- MinGW. MinGW can be used in the Cygwin development environment or in a
- standalone setup as described in the following section.
+ Unix procedure.
To build OpenSSL using Cygwin, you need to:
* Install Cygwin (see http://cygwin.com/)
- * Install Perl and ensure it is in the path. Both Cygwin perl
- (5.6.1-2 or newer) and ActivePerl work.
+ * Install Cygwin Perl and ensure it is in the path. Recall that
+ as least 5.10.0 is required.
* Run the Cygwin bash shell
stripping of carriage returns. To avoid this ensure that a binary
mount is used, e.g. mount -b c:\somewhere /home.
+ It is also possible to create "conventional" Windows binaries that use
+ the Microsoft C runtime system (msvcrt.dll or crtdll.dll) using MinGW
+ development add-on for Cygwin. MinGW is supported even as a standalone
+ setup as described in the following section. In the context you should
+ recognize that binaries targeting Cygwin itself are not interchangeable
+ with "conventional" Windows binaries you generate with/for MinGW.
+
GNU C (MinGW/MSYS)
- -------------
+ ------------------
* Compiler and shell environment installation:
MinGW and MSYS are available from http://www.mingw.org/, both are
required. Run the installers and do whatever magic they say it takes
- to start MSYS bash shell with GNU tools on its PATH.
+ to start MSYS bash shell with GNU tools and matching Perl on its PATH.
+ "Matching Perl" refers to chosen "shell environment", i.e. if built
+ under MSYS, then Perl compiled for MSYS is highly recommended.
Alternativelly, one can use MSYS2 from http://msys2.github.io/,
which includes MingW (32-bit and 64-bit).
Linking your application
------------------------
+ This section applies to non-Cygwin builds.
+
If you link with static OpenSSL libraries then you're expected to
additionally link your application with WS2_32.LIB, ADVAPI32.LIB,
GDI32.LIB and USER32.LIB. Those developing non-interactive service
your application code small "shim" snippet, which provides glue between
OpenSSL BIO layer and your compiler run-time. See the OPENSSL_Applink
manual page for further details.

-
- "Classic" builds (Visual C++)
- ----------------
-
- [OpenSSL was classically built using a script called mk1mf. This is
- still available by configuring with --classic. The notes below are
- using this flag, and are tentative. Use with care.
-
- NOTE: this won't be available for long.]
-
- If you want to compile in the assembly language routines with Visual
- C++, then you will need the Netwide Assembler binary, nasmw.exe or nasm.exe, to
- be available on your %PATH%.
-
- Firstly you should run Configure and generate the Makefiles. If you don't want
- the assembly language files then add the "no-asm" option (without quotes) to
- the Configure lines below.
-
- For Win32:
-
- > perl Configure VC-WIN32 --classic --prefix=c:\some\openssl\dir
- > ms\do_nasm
-
- Note: replace the last line above with the following if not using the assembly
- language files:
-
- > ms\do_ms
-
- For Win64/x64:
-
- > perl Configure VC-WIN64A --classic --prefix=c:\some\openssl\dir
- > ms\do_win64a
-
- For Win64/IA64:
-
- > perl Configure VC-WIN64I --classic --prefix=c:\some\openssl\dir
- > ms\do_win64i
-
- Where the prefix argument specifies where OpenSSL will be installed to.
-
- Then from the VC++ environment at a prompt do the following. Note, your %PATH%
- and other environment variables should be set up for 32-bit or 64-bit
- development as appropriate.
-
- > nmake -f ms\ntdll.mak
-
- If all is well it should compile and you will have some DLLs and
- executables in out32dll. If you want to try the tests then do:
-
- > nmake -f ms\ntdll.mak test
-
- To install OpenSSL to the specified location do:
-
- > nmake -f ms\ntdll.mak install
-
- Tweaks:
-
- There are various changes you can make to the Windows compile
- environment. By default the library is not compiled with debugging
- symbols. If you add --debug to the Configure lines above then debugging symbols
- will be compiled in.
-
- By default in 1.1.0 OpenSSL will compile builtin ENGINES into separate shared
- libraries. If you specify the "enable-static-engine" option on the command line
- to Configure the shared library build (ms\ntdll.mak) will compile the engines
- into libcrypto32.dll instead.
-
- You can also build a static version of the library using the Makefile
- ms\nt.mak
