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 need Perl for Win32 (available from http://www.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
-
- Then rebuild the Win32 Makefiles and friends:
+ Firstly you should run Configure and build the Win32 Makefiles:
+ > perl Configure VC-WIN32
> ms\do_ms
If you get errors about things not having numbers assigned then check the
> 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.

+ 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
---------------
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: 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.
+ defined in the header file.
If you get warnings in the code then the compilation will halt.
program will almost certainly crash: see the original SSLeay description
below for more details.
