-Building OpenSSL under Win32.
+
+ 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.

-Note: the default Win32 environment is to leave out any Windows NT specific
-features: (currently only BIO_s_log()) if you want NT specific features see
-the "Tweaks" section later.
+ You will Perl for Win32 (available from http://activestate.com/ActivePerl)
+ and one of the following C compilers:
-You will need perl for Win32 (which can be got from various sources) and Visual
-C++.
+ * Visual C++
+ * Borland C
+ * GNU C (Mingw32 or Cygwin32)
-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.

-Firstly you should run Configure:
+ Visual C++
+ ----------
-perl Configure VC-WIN32
+ Firstly you should run Configure and build the Win32 Makefiles:
-Then rebuild the Win32 Makefiles and friends:
+ > perl Configure VC-WIN32
+ > ms\do_ms
-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.
-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:
-then from the VC++ environment at a prompt do:
+ > nmake -f ms\ntdll.mak
-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. 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.
+
+ 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.
+
+ * Configure OpenSSL:
+
+ > perl Configure Mingw32
+ > perl util\mkfiles.pl >MINFO
+ > perl util\mk1mf.pl Mingw32 >ms\mingw32.mak
+
+ * If you don't have the GNU file utilities (cp, rm, etc.) installed,
+ an additional step is required:
+
+ > perl util\mk1mf.pl VC-WIN32 no-asm >ms\nt.mak
+ > make -f ms/nt.mak
+
+ This will end with an error message. If you don't like that, install
+ the file utilities. :)
+
+ * Compile the library:
+ > make -f ms/mingw32.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 cd to out32dll and run ..\ms\test
+ You can now try the tests:
-Troubleshooting.
+ > cd out
+ > ..\ms\test
-Since the Win32 build is only occasionally tested it may not always compile
-cleanly.
+ * Build the OpenSSL DLLs:
-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 32 libeay > ms\libeay32.def
+ > perl util\mkdef.pl 32 ssleay > ms\ssleay32.def
-perl util\mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
+ [to be done]
-then ms\do_ms 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.
+ Troubleshooting
+ ---------------
-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.
+ 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:
-In this latter case check out the header file to see if the function is defined
-in the header file: it should be defined twice: once with ANSI prototypes and
-once without. If its missing from the non ASNI section then add an entry for
-it: check that ms\do_ms now reports missing numbers and update the numbers as
-above.
+ > perl util\mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
-If you get warnings in the code then the compilation will halt.
+ then ms\do_ms 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.
-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

+ update the numbers as above.
-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.
