FYI, The branch has been updated, the Makfile template now has install targets as well, and I did the mods I could see would be necessary for Cygwin and Mingw. I would appreciate it if someone could help me try those out.
Remember to configure with --unified. Next thing coming up is install targets on VMS. And with that, I have to rethink the defaults for the installation directories.

The intention is to have one and levitte> the same base of information for all platforms, instead of having to levitte> maintain one set of files for Unixly platforms, one makefile generator levitte> for Windowsy platforms, and one pile of scripts with a serious case of levitte> bit rot for VMS. levitte> levitte> In particular, this is of interest for the VMS folks, as it's the only levitte> currently workable build system for upcoming version 1.1. levitte> levitte> levitte> Finding it levitte> ========== levitte> levitte> For now, this change is available on here: levitte> levitte> https://github.com/levitte/openssl/tree/refactor-build levitte> levitte> which is git repo https://github.com/levitte/openssl.git, branch levitte> refactor-build. levitte> levitte> levitte> Using it levitte> ======== levitte> levitte> Requirements levitte> ------------ levitte> levitte> On all platforms, it requires levitte> levitte> - Perl! Reports tell me that version 5.10.1 works fine but might need levitte> some extra perl modules (Test::More and possibly others. Feedback levitte> welcome!). Unix usually has it installed or easy to find. For VMS, levitte> there's an install kit on sourceforge levitte> (https://sourceforge.net/projects/vmsperlkit/files/Archive/), and levitte> Windows, we've always recommended ActiveState Perl levitte> (http://www.activestate.com/ActivePerl). levitte> - The Perl module Text::Template, which is the driver behind the levitte> generation Makefile and other files. This branch relies quite levitte> heavily on templates. levitte> levitte> On Unix, it requires levitte> levitte> - the usual developmemt stuff. cc, as and make would be the really levitte> bare minimum, and maybe I'm forgetting something, but what is levitte> usually considered the normal tool chain should work out. levitte> levitte> On VMS, it requires levitte> levitte> - DEC C... It's called HP C these days and might be called something levitte> else again when VSI starts shipping. It needs to be recent enough levitte> to support the qualifiers /NAMES=(AS_IS,SHORTENED) and /REPOSITORY levitte> (I welcome feedback on which the minimum version for this is!) levitte> - DECset, at the very least MMS. Alternatively, MMK can be used if levitte> you can find it (if anyone knows of a place that has it for sure, levitte> feedback is welcome!) levitte> - Of course, the rest of the tool chain, but that comes with the levitte> operating system, no worries there. levitte> levitte> [I certainly hope I didn't forget anything, but if I did, feedback is levitte> welcome!] levitte> levitte> Config and build levitte> ---------------- levitte> levitte> For Unix users, who are used to the usual generation of a top Makefile levitte> from Makefile.org... that is, Makefile.in since recently, this it levitte> still the default, but you can always use the unified build as an levitte> alternative by adding the flag --unified, like so: levitte> levitte> ./config --unified levitte> make levitte> make test levitte> # There is no install target yet, it's coming up! levitte> levitte> You will get One Top Makefile that does everything. It will not touch levitte> any other Makefile. levitte> levitte> levitte> For VMS users, the unified build is the only one available in this levitte> branch, the old scripts are simply gone. Instead, you configure just levitte> like you would on any other platform (well, almost, there isn't any levitte> config.com yet, so you'll have to jump directly to the Configure levitte> script), and that will generate a descrip.mms: levitte> levitte> perl Configure vms-alpha ! or vms-ia64 levitte> mms levitte> mms test levitte> ! There is no install target yet. levitte> ! As a matter of fact, I'd like to talk about exactly where it levitte> ! should install. Let's talk! levitte> levitte> levitte> Features levitte> ======== levitte> levitte> There are a few features in the unified build that are worth testing: levitte> levitte> 1. Out of source tree builds! It's perfectly possible to do this: levitte> levitte> mkdir ../build levitte> cd ../build levitte> perl ../openssl-src/config levitte> make levitte> make test levitte> levitte> (and yes, on VMS as well) levitte> levitte> 2. The generated Makefile supports parallell make: levitte> levitte> make -j9 levitte> levitte> (carefull, though, don't try the silliness I tried: make -j9 clean all) levitte> levitte> levitte> Future levitte> ====== levitte> levitte> I plan on making the generated Makefile / descrip.mms full featured, levitte> which means at least adding install targets. Then, on to a template levitte> for a Windows makefile. levitte> levitte> levitte> ================= levitte> Feedback welcome! levitte> ================= levitte> levitte> levitte> Cheers, levitte> Richard levitte> levitte> -- levitte> Richard Levitte levi...@openssl.org levitte> OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org/~levitte/ _______________________________________________ openssl-dev mailing list To unsubscribe: https://mta.openssl.org/mailman/listinfo/openssl-dev
