OK, I found the current ones and got the old intructions from the archive.

Do the following:
1. Build NSS in a tree different from your main Mozilla, using the 
instructions at 
<http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/buildnss_32.html>.
2. Build PSM, following the instructions at 
<http://www.mozilla.org/webtools/bonsai/cvsblame.cgi?file=mozilla-org/html/projects/security/pki/psm/buildpsm.html&rev=1.5>
 
(this is the HTML source - I attached it as HTML document (text4.html) 
for better readability and archiving).

Javier: It would be nice, if you could let the iPlanet PSM binary online 
until we had a chance to build our own version. Thanks.

Title: Build Instructions for PSM

Build Instructions for PSM Newsgroup: netscape.public.mozilla.crypto Main technical contact: David Drinan Yell at the manager: Bob Lord Becuase of complicated dependencies, you will need a fully built Mozilla tree in order to compile PSM. These instructions also assume you have a completed NSS build tree. Unix Build Instructions NOTE: Right now you need to apply the patch attached to bug 47113. In your compiled Mozilla tree: cd security/psm/lib cvs up -PdA nlslayer If you are building in the source directory: cd nlslayer, otherwise: cd (objdir)/security/psm/lib && mkdir nlslayer && cd nlslayer (path to mozilla root)/build/autoconf/make-makefile gmake Now, copy or symlink the following files from your Mozilla directory into your NSS/PSM tree dist/lib directory: libxpcom.so libnecko.so libnlslayer.a libstrres.so libunicharutil.so libuconv.so libucvlatin.so libnslocale.so In your NSS/PSM tree gmake -f client.mk pull_all BUILD_MODULES= BUILD_MODULE_DIRS=directory/c-sdk This pulls the directory SDK source. cd directory/c-sdk/ldap ./configure gmake This builds the directory SDK. cd ../../../security/psm gmake Build PSM. (optional) cd server && gmake build_xpi Build an XPI file for installation in Mozilla.

Title: Build Instructions for NSS 3.2 Beta 3

The Mozilla Organization At A Glance Feedback Get Involved Newsgroups License Terms Newsbot Developer Docs Roadmap Projects Ports Module Owners Hacking Get the Source Build It Testing Download Report A Bug Bugzilla Bug Writing Tools View Source Tree Status New Checkins Submit A Bug FAQ Search Build Instructions for NSS 3.2 Beta 3 Release Newsgroup: netscape.public.mozilla.crypto Main technical contact: Ian McGreer Manager: Wan-Teh Chang The instructions that follow describe how to build the standalone NSS libraries (including a new implementation of RSA) without the BSAFE library. These instructions have been tested on Unix and Windows. They will be updated as testing proceeds on other platforms. For detailed information about the NSS 3.2 beta 3 release, see NSS 3.2 Beta 3 Release Notes. To build NSS with the RSA BSAFE Crypto-C library, first follow the instructions at Build Instructions for NSS Using RSA BSAFE Crypto-C, then continue with the instructions on this page. Important: Before you build NSS, you should be familiar with the Mozilla CVS system; see source code via CVS for details. NSPR Note: NSS 3.2 is compatible with NSPR 4.0.1 or higher. We recommend using NSPR 4.1, as shown in the build instructions below. However, it's possible to use other NSPR tags, such as NSPRPUB_RELEASE_4_0_1 or NSPRPUB_CLIENT_BRANCH. Unix Build Instructions Windows Build Instructions Basic Tests Unix Build Instructions The following procedure performs a debug build using the GNU C compiler (gcc). See the notes that follow on how to generate an optimized build or choose a native compiler. To build NSS and the necessary components from Mozilla on Unix/Linux without pulling and configuring the entire Mozilla source tree, follow these steps: Note: Before building NSS 3.2, make sure that the MOZILLA_CLIENT environment variable is not defined. setenv CVSROOT :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot cvs login At the password prompt, type anonymous cvs co -r NSS_3_1_1_RTM mozilla/client.mk cd mozilla gmake -f client.mk pull_all BUILD_MODULES=dbm MOZ_CO_TAG=NSS_3_1_1_RTM NSPR_CO_TAG=NSPRPUB_RELEASE_4_1 This step pulls NSPR and dbm (the modules that NSS requires). ./configure --without-gtk --without-libIDL --without-x --enable-modules=dbm For Linux only: ./configure --without-gtk --without-libIDL --without-x --enable-modules=dbm --disable-elf-dynstr-gc If you get an error after this step, try again with the additional option --disable-pedantic. gmake Builds NSPR and dbm. cd .. cvs co -r NSS_3_2_BETA3 mozilla/security/coreconf mozilla/security/nss Pulls the NSS module with the CVS tag for the NSS 3.2 beta 3 release. setenv NS_USE_GCC 1 setenv NO_MDUPDATE 1 This specifies GCC as the compiler. This step can be skipped on Linux. cd mozilla/security/coreconf gmake Builds nsinstall, which is used by the NSS build system. cd ../nss gmake moz_import Tells NSS where to find the NSPR and dbm header files and libraries. gmake Builds NSS. Generating an Optimized Build The above procedure generates a debug build (the default). To perform an optimized build, modify the procedure as follows: In step 6, add these options to the configure script command line: --disable-debug --enable-optimize Before step 11, do this: setenv BUILD_OPT 1 Choosing a Compiler By default, mozilla's configure script uses the GNU C compiler (gcc) while NSS uses the native C amd C++ compilers. If you use gcc, you don't need to do anything to mozilla's configure script, but you need to set the following two environment variables for NSS (as shown in step 10 above): setenv NS_USE_GCC 1 setenv NO_MDUPDATE 1 If you use the native compilers, you don't need to do anything with NSS, but you need to tell mozilla's configure script the names of the native compilers. For example, suppose the native C compiler is called cc and the native C++ compiler is called CC. You need to override the CC and CXX variables by replacing step 6 above with this: env CC=cc CXX=CC ./configure --without-gtk --without-libIDL --without-x --enable-modules=dbm That is, the line in step 6 should be prepended with env CC=cc CXX=CC. Windows Build Instructions The Windows build procedure requires the following tools: MASM (ml.exe). For detailed instructions on obtaining a standalone version of MASM, see either of the following locations: http://www.easystreet.com/~jkirwan/pctools.html http://user.ecc.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~l94102/programmierung/masm-e.html To build NSS and the necessary components from Mozilla on Windows, make sure you have the tools listed above installed in your system, and follow these steps: Note: Before building NSS 3.2, make sure that the MOZILLA_CLIENT environment variable is not defined. Set up the environment variables as described in the section "Set Up the Build Environment" of Building Mozilla on Microsoft Windows 32-bit platforms. Set CVSROOT. set CVSROOT=:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot Log into CVS. cvs login At the password prompt, type anonymous Set the environment variables that control the kind of build: set OS_TARGET=WIN95 NSS and the Mozilla dbm have different build options for indicating whether you want to generate a debug or optimized build. Therefore, the outcome depends on the way you combine several variables. In the following table, RTL stands for the C run-time library of MSVC, "debug RTL" corresponds to the /MDd compiler option, and "release RTL" corresponds to the /MD compiler option. To achieve the result shown in the left column, you must set the environment variables as shown in both the other columns of the same row. Build type Mozillas dbm NSS Debug, debug RTL set MOZ_DEBUG=1 set USE_DEBUG_RTL=1 Debug, release RTL set MOZ_DEBUG=1 set MOZ_NO_DEBUG_RTL=1 None Optimized (release RTL) None set BUILD_OPT=1 Pull the following files (mozilla/config contains shared makefiles, mozilla/nsprpub is a module that dbm depends on, and mozilla/dbm is the dbm module itself): cvs co -r NSS_3_1_1_RTM mozilla/config cvs co -r NSPRPUB_RELEASE_4_1 mozilla/nsprpub cvs co -r NSS_3_1_1_RTM mozilla/dbm Build NSPR and then dbm: cd mozilla\nsprpub nmake /f makefile.win cd ..\dbm nmake /f makefile.win Pull the NSS module with the CVS tag for the NSS 3.2 beta 3 release: cd ..\.. cvs co -r NSS_3_2_BETA3 mozilla/security/coreconf mozilla/security/nss cd mozilla\security\nss Note: It's not necessary to build nsinstall on Windows. gmake moz_import Tells NSS where to find the NSPR and dbm header files and libraries. gmake Builds NSS. Basic Tests Once you have successfully built NSS, follow these steps to test the core functionality of the certutil tool and the setup and use of a basic SSL connection: Build NSS as described above and make sure that mozilla/dist/$(OBJDIR)/lib is in your shared library search path, which is specified by the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable on most Unix platforms, by SHLIB_PATH on HP-UX, by LIBPATH on AIX, and by PATH on Windows. cd mozilla/security/nss/cmd/SSLsample gmake To create an SSL server certificate, you will need to include the host and domain names of the host you want to run the server on. For example, if your machine name is myhost.domain.com, you would set the two variables as follows: setenv HOSTNAME myhost (on UNIX this is most likely set already) setenv MYDOMAIN domain.com These variables must be set correctly for your SSL server to work. sh gencerts gencerts is a shell script that will generate a CA certificate, an SSL server certificate, and an SSL client certificate. You are now ready to run the sample SSL server. This is a sample command line: server -n SampleSSLServerCert -p 8080 -d SampleCertDBs -w sample -c e -R You can now connect to the server with client processes. This is a sample command line: client -n SampleSSLClientCert -p 8080 -d SampleCertDBs -w sample -c 2 myhost.domain.com For instructions on running more extensive NSS tests, see NSS Test Suite.
