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
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)
-
- 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 is distributed with most versions of VC++. For the versions where it is
- not included in VC++, it is also 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.

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

----------
+ 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. Assembler choice is limited to Free Netwise Assember, NASM,
+ available for download from http://sourceforge.net/projects/nasm/, even in
+ binary form. The NASM binary, nasmw.exe needs to be installed anywhere on
+ your %PATH%.
+
Firstly you should run Configure:
- > perl Configure VC-WIN32
+ > perl Configure VC-WIN32 --prefix=c:/some/openssl/dir
+
+Where the prefix argument specifies where OpenSSL will be installed to.
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 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
+ > nmake -f ms\ntdll.mak test
+
+
+To install OpenSSL to the specified location do:
+
+> nmake -f ms\ntdll.mak install
Tweaks:
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.
+
+ By default in 0.9.8 OpenSSL will compile builtin ENGINES into the libeay32.dll
+ shared library. If you specify the "no-static-engine" option on the command
+ line to Configure the shared library build (ms\ntdll.mak) will compile the
+ engines as separate DLLs.
+
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
---------------------
* 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:
+
+ > ms\mingw32
+
+ This will create the library and binaries in out. In case any problems
+ occur, try
+ > ms\mingw32 no-asm

Installation
------------
$ md c:\openssl\lib
$ md c:\openssl\include
$ md c:\openssl\include\openssl
- $ copy /b inc32\* c:\openssl\include\openssl
+ $ copy /b inc32\openssl\* c:\openssl\include\openssl
$ copy /b out32dll\ssleay32.lib c:\openssl\lib
$ copy /b out32dll\libeay32.lib c:\openssl\lib
$ copy /b out32dll\ssleay32.dll c:\openssl\bin
(e.g. fopen()), and OpenSSL cannot change these; so in general you cannot
rely on CRYPTO_malloc_init() solving your problem, and you should
consistently use the multithreaded library.
+
+ Linking your application
+ ------------------------
+
+ If you link with static OpenSSL libraries [those built with ms/nt.mak],
+ then you're expected to additionally link your application with
+ WSOCK32.LIB, ADVAPI32.LIB, GDI32.LIB and USER32.LIB. Those developing
+ non-interactive service applications might feel concerned about linking
+ with latter two, as they are justly associated with interactive desktop,
+ which is not available to service processes. The toolkit is designed
+ to detect in which context it's currently executed, GUI, console app
+ or service, and act accordingly, namely whether or not to actually make
+ GUI calls.
+
+ If you link with OpenSSL .DLLs, then you're expected to include into
+ your application code small "shim" snippet, which provides glue between
+ OpenSSL BIO layer and your compiler run-time. Look up OPENSSL_Applink
+ reference page for further details.
