1. An attempt to build on VMS Alpha V8.4 died when MMS choked on a too-long command:
[...] PURGE [.crypto.evp]digest.OBJ SET DEFAULT ALP$DKC100:[UTILITY.SOURCE.OPENSSL.openssl-master_2016-03-20.crypto.evp] CC/DECC /DEFINE=(OPENSSL_THREADS,OPENSSL_NO_DYNAMIC_ENGINE,OPENSSL_PIC,OPENSSLDIR="""SYS$COMMON:[SSL]""",ENGINESDIR="""OSSL$ENGINES:""") /STANDARD=RELAXED/NOLIST/PREFIX=ALL/NAMES=(AS_IS,SHORTENED) /OPTIMIZE/NODEBUG/INCLUDE=(utility5_dev:[UTILITY.source- .openssl.openssl-master_2016-03-20.include],ALP$DKC100:[UTILITY.SOURCE.OPENSSL.openssl-master_2016-03-20],ALP$DKC100:[UTILITY.SOURCE.OPENSSL.openssl-master_2016-03-20.crypto.include],ALP$DKC100:[UTILITY.SOURCE.OPENSSL.openssl-master_2016-03-20.include]- ,utility5_dev:[UTILITY.source.openssl.openssl-master_2016-03-20.crypto.include],ALP$DKC100:[UTILITY.SOURCE.OPENSSL.openssl-master_2016-03-20.crypto],ALP$DKC100:[UTILITY.SOURCE.OPENSSL.openssl-master_2016-03-20.crypto.modes]) /MMS=(FILE=utility5_dev:[- UTILITY.source.openssl.openssl-master_2016-03-20.crypto.evp]e_aes.tmp-MMS,TARGET=[.crypto.evp]e_aes.OBJ) /OBJECT=utility5_dev:[UTILITY.source.openssl.openssl-master_2016-03-20.crypto.evp]e_aes.OBJ /REPOSITORY=utility5_dev:[UTILITY.source.openssl.- openssl-master_2016-03-20] e_aes.c %MMS-F-EXETOOBIG, Command too large. Maximum length is 1019 characters. I haven't tried to see how this stuff is generated nowadays, but I'd say that it could use more of at least one of the following: logical names (one rooted for the top-level dir?) continuation lines relative directory specs documentation of the default directory spec length limit 2. What's the status of zlib support on VMS? In the old days, makevms.com had a place to specify a zlib directory. Is there a way in the new scheme? (Documented anywhere?) All I found was the OPTIONS= [...] no-zlib no-zlib-dynamic in descrip.mms. 3. Shared images? For the record: ALP $ mms /id %MMS-I-IDENT, MMS V3.8-2 © Copyright 2007 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L .P. ALP $ cc /version HP C V7.3-010 on OpenVMS Alpha V8.4 (I haven't verified it yet, but I believe that the "-010" compiler, recently made available to us lowly hobbyists, fixes the 64-bit argv[] NULL-termination problems on Alpha.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Steven M.
