Open SSL Developers -
Here's a list of things I needed to do to get the current
versions of the OpenSSL sources to compile and link on
Windows/NT. I expect most of these will be dealt with by
the OpenSSL developers when they release a new tarball.
This stuff'll just bite you if you're too impatient to
wait ... :)
TT
1) When I copy over or unzip from the cvs hierarchy, the
protections on the crypto/x509v3/old_v3 directory files
always prevent the copy. It's safe to ignore this.
Nothing gets built in this directory anyway.
2) You need to create a date.h file by hand in the crypto
directory. If you're running a real shell, you can type
the line from the makefile.ssl, e.g.:
$ cd crypto
$ echo "#define DATE \"`date`\"" >date.h
3) The version of perl I'm running doesn't like this bit of
syntax in the top-level configure source:
sub bad_target
{
print STDERR "Usage: Configure [-Dxxx] [-Lxxx] [-lxxx] os/compiler\n";
print STDERR "pick os/compiler from:";
my $j=0;
>>>> foreach my $i (sort keys %table) <<<<
{
print STDERR "\n" if ($j++ % 4) == 0;
printf(STDERR "%-18s ",$i);
}
print STDERR "\n";
}
So here's how I get it to work:
sub bad_target
{
print STDERR "Usage: Configure [-Dxxx] [-Lxxx] [-lxxx] os/compiler\n";
print STDERR "pick os/compiler from:";
my $j=0;
>>>> my $i=0; <<<<
>>>> foreach $i (sort keys %table) <<<<
{
print STDERR "\n" if ($j++ % 4) == 0;
printf(STDERR "%-18s ",$i);
}
print STDERR "\n";
}
The version of perl I'm running is:
$ perl -version
This is perl, version 5.002 with DEBUGGING EMBED
4) Now you can run perl to configure your system:
$ perl configure VC-WIN32
5) Running configure converts the generic (.org) versions of files
to local versions according to your configuration. However there's
one that gets forgotten--pem.org. Fortunately, pem.org is the same
as pem.h, so you just need to
$ cd to crypto/pem
$ cp pem.org pem.h
6) Ditto re: customizing .asm files. If you're a real Windowz Stud
and you've gone to the trouble to locate and install the assembler
(check out the MSDN Office Test Platform & Development Tools disk
#13), then you'll need to run the perl command to create the MSoft
assembler input for the cast/asm/c-win32.asm file:
$ cd crypto/cast/asm
$ perl cast-586.pl win32 > c-win32.asm
7) Next you wanna create your ntdll.mak file:
$ perl util/mk1mf.pl dll VC-WIN32 > ms/ntdll.mak
8) And your two .def files (there are lots of new source modules):
$ perl util/mkdef.pl 32 ssleay > ms/ssleay32.def
$ perl util/mkdef.pl 32 libeay > ms/libeay32.def
That's it, now you *should* be able to type
$ nmake -f ms/ntdll.mak
And have everything build.
