I'm compiling 0.9.8k on VAX and experienced the same problem with seed.c causing the compiler to get stuck. Moving it to COMPILEWITH_CC5 resolved the problem.
When compiling on ia64 I got an error in VMS.MAR on a BSB 41$ that I think should be a BRB 41$ -----Original Message----- From: Richard Levitte [mailto:rich...@levitte.org] Sent: Friday, May 15, 2009 4:23 AM To: openssl-users@openssl.org; Richard Whalen; BércziGábor Subject: Re: compiling 1.0.0-beta2 on OpenVMS I wouldn't recommend that, it leads to very slow code last time I tried. However, if you look in [.crypto]crypto-lib.com, you'll find the following lines: $ ! Add definitions for no threads on OpenVMS 7.1 and higher $ COMPILEWITH_CC3 = ",bss_rtcp," $ ! Disable the DOLLARID warning $ COMPILEWITH_CC4 = ",a_utctm,bss_log,o_time,o_dir" $ ! Disable disjoint optimization $ COMPILEWITH_CC5 = ",md2_dgst,md4_dgst,md5_dgst,mdc2dgst," + - "sha_dgst,sha1dgst,rmd_dgst,bf_enc," $ ! Disable the MIXLINKAGE warning $ COMPILEWITH_CC6 = ",enc_read,set_key," I'm thinking that one might want to add seed to COMPILEWITH_CC5 and see if that helps... As I recall, the files already mentioned there made the compiler on VAX behave as described below before I placed them there. Bérczi, please try it out and tell me if that changed things. ( if you wonder, I'm talking about changing the COMPILEWITH_CC5 line like this: $ COMPILEWITH_CC5 = ",md2_dgst,md4_dgst,md5_dgst,mdc2dgst," + - "sha_dgst,sha1dgst,rmd_dgst,bf_enc,seed," ) Cheers, Richard In message <3ef96af20489a34296050fbd5c36ecb901244...@beacon.psc.process.com> on Wed, 13 May 2009 11:35:31 -0400, "Richard Whalen" <whal...@process.com> said: Whalenr> Typically it's the optimizer that causes the problem.
