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)

+ 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.
+ MASM is distributed with most versions of VC++. For the versions where it is

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
* 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>. Extract it
- to a directory such as C:\gcc-2.95.2 and add c:\gcc-2.95.2\bin to
- the PATH environment variable in "System Properties"; or edit and
- run C:\gcc-2.95.2\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, Windows ME, Windows 2000, and Windows XP.
Consequently, a make of OpenSSL with Cygwin is closer to a GNU
- bash environment such as Linux than to other W32 makes which 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.
+ bash environment such as Linux than to other the other Win32
+ makes.
+
+ Cygwin implements a Posix/Unix runtime system (cygwin1.dll).
+ It is also possible to create Win32 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.
To build OpenSSL using 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.
+ This will create a default install in /usr/local/ssl.
+
+ To build the MinGW version (native Windows) in Cygwin:
+
+ $ ./Configure mingw
+ [...]
+ $ make
+ [...]
+ $ make test
+ $ make install
Cygwin Notes:
non-fatal error in "make test" but is otherwise harmless. If
desired and needed, GNU bc can be built with Cygwin without change.
+ GNU C (MinGW)
+ -------------
+
+ * Compiler installation:
+
+ MinGW is available from http://www.mingw.org. Run the installer and
+ set the MinGW bin directory to the PATH in "System Properties" or
+ autoexec.bat.
+
+ * Compile OpenSSL:
