-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.

+ INSTALLATION ON THE WIN32 PLATFORM
+ ----------------------------------
+
+ 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. See the end of this file for Eric's original comments.
+
+ 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?)
+ it goes wrong.
+
+ Visual C++
+ ----------
+
+ Firstly you should run Configure:
+
+ > perl Configure VC-WIN32
+
+ 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
+ stands.
+
+ Then from the VC++ environment at a prompt do:
+
+ > 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:
+
+ > cd out32dll
+ > ..\ms\test
+
+ Tweaks:
+
+ 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.
+
+ If you want to enable the NT specific features of OpenSSL (currently only the
+ logging BIO) follow the instructions above but call the batch file do_nt.bat
+ instead of do_ms.bat.
+
+ You can also build a static version of the library using the Makefile
+ ms\nt.mak
+
+ Borland C++ builder 3 and 4
+ ---------------------------
+
+ * Setup PATH. First must be GNU make then bcb4/bin
+
+ * Run ms\bcb4.bat
+
+ * 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/egcs-1.1.2/egcs-1.1.2-mingw32.zip>. 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:
+
+ > perl Configure Mingw32
+ > ms\mw.bat
+
+ This will create the library and binaries in out.
+
+ 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
+
+ Troubleshooting
+ ---------------
+
+ Since the Win32 build is only occasionally tested it may not always compile
+ cleanly. If you get an error about functions not having numbers assigned
+ when you run ms\do_ms then this means the Win32 ordinal files are not up to
+ date. You can do:
+
+ > perl util\mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
+
+ then ms\do_XXX should not give a warning any more. However the numbers that
+ get assigned by this technique may not match those that eventually get
+ assigned in the CVS tree: so anything linked against this version of the
+ library may need to be recompiled.
+
+ If you get errors about unresolved externals then this means that either you
+ didn't read the note above about functions not having numbers assigned or
+ someone forgot to add a function to the header file.
+
+ In this latter case check out the header file to see if the function is
+ defined in the header file.
+
+ If you get warnings in the code then the compilation will halt.
+
+ The default Makefile for Win32 halts whenever any warnings occur. Since VC++
+ has its own ideas about warnings which don't always match up to other
+ environments this can happen. The best fix is to edit the file with the
+ warning in and fix it. Alternatively you can turn off the halt on warnings by
+ editing the CFLAG line in the Makefile and deleting the /WX option.
+
+ You might get compilation errors. Again you will have to fix these or report
+ them.
+
+ One final comment about compiling applications linked to the OpenSSL library.
+ If you don't use the multithreaded DLL runtime library (/MD option) your
+ program will almost certainly crash: see the original SSLeay description
+ below for more details.
