INSTALLATION ON THE WIN32 PLATFORM
----------------------------------
+ [Instructions for building for Windows CE can be found in INSTALL.WCE]
+
Heres a few comments about building OpenSSL in Windows environments. Most
of this is tested on Win32 but it may also work in Win 3.1 with some
modification.
You need Perl for Win32. Unless you will build on Cygwin, you will need
ActiveState Perl, available from http://www.activestate.com/ActivePerl.
- For Cygwin users, there's more info in the Cygwin section.
and one of the following C compilers:
* Visual C++
* Borland C
- * GNU C (Mingw32 or Cygwin)
+ * GNU C (Cygwin or MinGW)
+
+ 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?)
+ it goes wrong.
+
+ Visual C++
+ ----------
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
* Microsoft MASM (aka "ml")
* Free Netwide Assembler NASM.
- MASM was at one point distributed with VC++. It is now distributed with some
- Microsoft DDKs, for example the Windows NT 4.0 DDK and the Windows 98 DDK. If
- you do not have either of these DDKs then you can just download the binaries
- for the Windows 98 DDK and extract and rename the two files XXXXXml.exe and
- XXXXXml.err, to ml.exe and ml.err and install somewhere on your PATH. Both
- DDKs can be downloaded from the Microsoft developers site www.msdn.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.

Firstly you should run Configure:
> perl Configure VC-WIN32
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 mk1mf.pl lines in the do_* batch file then debugging symbols will be
- compiled in.
+ compiled in. Note that mk1mf.pl expects the platform to be the last argument
+ on the command line, so 'debug' must appear before that, as all other options.
The default Win32 environment is to leave out any Windows NT specific
features.
You can also build a static version of the library using the Makefile
ms\nt.mak
+ Borland C++ builder 5
+ ---------------------
+
+ * Configure for building with Borland Builder:
+ > perl Configure BC-32
+
+ * Create the appropriate makefile
+ > ms\do_nasm
+
+ * Build
+ > make -f ms\bcb.mak
+
Borland C++ builder 3 and 4
---------------------------
* Run make:
> make -f bcb.mak
- GNU C (Mingw32)
- ---------------
-
- To build OpenSSL, you need the Mingw32 package and GNU make.
-
- * Compiler installation:
-
- Mingw32 is available from <ftp://ftp.xraylith.wisc.edu/pub/khan/
- gnu-win32/mingw32/gcc-2.95.2/gcc-2.95.2-msvcrt.exe>. GNU make is at
- <ftp://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/home/janjaap/mingw32/binaries/
- make-3.76.1.zip>. Install both of them in C:\egcs-1.1.2 and run
- C:\egcs-1.1.2\mingw32.bat to set the PATH.
-
- * Compile OpenSSL:
-
- > ms\mingw32
-
- This will create the library and binaries in out. In case any problems
- occur, try
- > ms\mingw32 no-asm
- instead.
-
- libcrypto.a and libssl.a are the static libraries. To use the DLLs,
- link with libeay32.a and libssl32.a instead.
-
- See troubleshooting if you get error messages about functions not having
- a number assigned.
-
- * You can now try the tests:
-
- > cd out
- > ..\ms\test
-
GNU C (Cygwin)
--------------
- Cygwin provides a bash shell and GNU tools environment running on
- NT 4.0, Windows 9x and Windows 2000. Consequently, a make of OpenSSL
- with Cygwin is closer to a GNU bash environment such as Linux rather
- than other W32 makes that are based on a single makefile approach.
- Cygwin implements Posix/Unix calls through cygwin1.dll, and is
- contrasted to Mingw32 which links dynamically to msvcrt.dll or
- crtdll.dll.

+ MinGW. MinGW can be used in the Cygwin development environment
+ or in a standalone setup as described in the following section.
To build OpenSSL using Cygwin:
- * Install Cygwin (see http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin)
+ * Install Cygwin (see http://cygwin.com/)
- * Install Perl and ensure it is in the path (recent Cygwin perl
- (version 5.6.1-2 of the latter has been reported to work) or
- ActivePerl)
+ * Install Perl and ensure it is in the path. Both Cygwin perl
+ (5.6.1-2 or newer) and ActivePerl work.
* Run the Cygwin bash shell
* $ tar zxvf openssl-x.x.x.tar.gz
$ cd openssl-x.x.x
+
+ To build the Cygwin version of OpenSSL:
+
$ ./config
[...]
$ make
$ make test
$ make install
- This will create a default install in /usr/local/ssl.

Cygwin Notes:
stripping of carriage returns. To avoid this ensure that a binary
mount is used, e.g. mount -b c:\somewhere /home.
- As of version 1.1.1 Cygwin is relatively unstable in its handling
- of cr/lf issues. These make procedures succeeded with versions 1.1 and
- the snapshot 20000524 (Slow!).
