Re: binaries built with openssl 0.9.7b running on openssl 0.9.6b or 0.9.6g
Question If I build applications using a later version of openssl and run the compiled binaries on an operating system with earlier versions of openssl will there be any problems? Example: I build applications using openssl 0.9.7b on linux redhat version 7.2 with kernel 2.4.7 and gnu gcc 2.96 and then run these binaries on linux redhat version 7.2 with kernel 2.4.17 gnu gcc 2.96 that has openssl version 0.9.6g. It depends on how you are building your application. If you link your application against static libraries then I think it shouldn't matter. But if you link your application against shared libraries then it may have problems...

Re: binaries built with openssl 0.9.7b running on openssl 0.9.6b or 0.9.6g
If you build your application on OS X or Darwin, you'll run into the really nasty problem where the LinkEditor will bind your app to shared libraries even if you specify static libraries. (I found this out the hard way.) Not fun.

Yup, that's a bug in the LinkEditor (ld for the Unixly impaired :-)). I've complained about it to Apple more than a year ago (and they confirmed the problem, but seem not to want to fix it), and I encourage others to do the same. The problem is described in great detail in the file PROBLEMS (first item), along with possible solutions (adapted for OpenSSL itself, but with a bit of thought, you can apply the same knowledge to any other software). - Please consider sponsoring my work on free software.

Re: binaries
A note on this: if someone wants to produce OpenSSL binaries in a consistent way and put them out somewhere, I'd be happy to link to them or the directory they're in. Note that consistently means that there should be some kind of note saying exactly how the binaries were produced and what is required to install them. It also means that the production of binaries shouldn't just be on a one-time basis, I don't think that several links to various versions of the otherwise same binary is very useful. Basically, I'm looking for people to commit themselves for some time, and to handle it nicely when they need to do something else (basically, hand it off to someone else that can commit in the same manner). Another note: neither me nor the rest of the OpenSSL team will take *any* responsability for the quality of the binaries. All we'll do is to set up the links. If there are viruses coming with the binaries, blame the one who produced them, not us, or blame yourself for not having an updated virus scanner. I know this sounds harsh, I just don't want the middle man to be attacked. -- Richard Levitte \ Spannvägen 38, II \ [EMAIL PROTECTED] Redakteur@Stacken \ S-168 35 BROMMA \ T: +46-8-26 52 47 \ SWEDEN \ or +46-708-26 53 44 Procurator Odiosus Ex Infernis-- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Member of the OpenSSL development team: http://www.openssl.org/ Unsolicited commercial email is subject to an archival fee of $400.

RE: binaries
What kind of platforms are we looking to have this on? I have somewhat access to a large set of machines including the following: Compilers: -- Visual C++ 6.0 Visual C++ .NET SunCC 5.2 gcc (of course.. ) Platforms: -- Windows NT 4.0 Windows 2000 Windows 2000 Advanced Server Windows XP Professional Sparc Solaris 7 Sparc Solaris 8 Any version of linux, because ofcourse the distro's are free. What kind of support would everyone expect from this? I would like to know what all would Be involved or better yet, what the people from this group would _expect_. Would anyone be Oposed to a small fee for these? Maybe a subscription type fee that would be very minimal in the range of $5/month , or something like that just so the machine's hosting this can be paid for and the time doing this Is paid for. As everyone knows bandwidth is not free nowadays and depending on the traffic received it can cost A pretty penny. I would like some ideas as to what could be done with this and what people would/wouldn't do for These binaries. This could become a great way to alleviate the build pain some people experience. - Andrew T.

Re: binaries
Hi Andrew, I like to have a certificate for my http-server and to create certicate for members of my team. The platform i am currently running on is win98se (dutch version) Talking about a fee?

RE: binaries
Title: Message Paul, Well someone can't just give you binaries because you would need a build specific to your compiler and the settings you want for your application.
