As far as I know, to have a FIPS certified module, you have to use “./config fips; make; make install”. Anything else violates the conditions of certification. This seems to preclude using VC6 to compile FIPS itself.
I was able to do this successfully on Windows using MinGW and MSYS. There are details in the user guide on how to do this, but it was basically: 1) install MinGW and MSYS (in that order) 2) run ./config fips in a MSYS shell 3) run make 4) run make install There is a perl wrapper for the link command that you can use when linking with other utilities. I tried using this with VC7 and VC8. I was successful linking, and things ran fine in non-FIPS mode. When I tried enabling FIPS, I found problems with global statics in the FIPS module not being initialized properly. I have not found a resolution for that. -David _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of bhanu Sent: Friday, February 23, 2007 1:47 AM To: openssl-users@openssl.org Subject: RE: FIPS compilation with VC6 Hi Kit, u can follow the instruction give in file INSTALL.W32 for installing openssl-fips-1.1.1. 1.
