Re: [tor-talk] [liberationtech] BitMail.sf.net v 0.6 - Secure Encrypting Email Client

2013-11-17 Thread grarpamp
I don't think that's possible at the moment. There are no deterministically built operating systems yet. This is rather sad. I think FreeBSD has a project somewhere trying to move that way. Hopefully all of the unix-likes are at least aware of the concept, if not having an actual project for

Re: Maintenance releases on 0.9.8

2012-03-19 Thread grarpamp
Since OpenSSL 0.9.8 is still in widespread use it will still be maintained for some time yet. I think part of this is may due to the new 1.x.x releases not being able to compile on older releases of operating systems. Perhaps a short round of effort in resolving that would allow people to move

Re: Problems with including zlib

Translation: I have to agree with O.P. - It looks broke to me too. ;-) Heh, that's precisely what I said in my report :) The front end options to do it seem to exist, and they even have some brief descriptions as such. They just don't work :) 'zlib' should get us static inclusion.

Re: Problems with including zlib

1. Make sure there is a libz.a in /lib or /usr/lib, otherwise you have no static zlib to link in. Of course there's an old libz.a there. And it should not matter as we're given the --with-zlib arguments to point the build elsewhere for those libraries. And as seen in the report, it is following

Problems with including zlib

2011-12-19 Thread grarpamp
I have a case that needs zlib statically in openssl. But I can't seem to make that. Only dynamic is made. For testing I put zlib125 in its own dir. Then for openssl... ./config --prefix=path --with-zlib-include=dir/include --with-zlib-lib=dir/lib shared zlib make make install This gives...

zlib compression - verifying it

2010-06-04 Thread grarpamp
Hello. How can I verify and test that a given openssl binary installation supports zlib compression? Can I simply [un]compress a file with openssl and do the reverse with gzip as a command line test? s_client and s_server? Are the zlib and zlib-dynamic options intended to be exclusive? Or is

Use of SSE3 and L2 cache

Does OpenSSL make specific use of either of these CPU features? And what functions or algorithms of OpenSSL would benefit? My use case is primarily AES as commonly used with disk encryption but not limited to that. Unrelated to OpenSSL would be whether the kernel crypto(4|9) frameworks of things

hi. three related questions... 1) How does one compile with libz.a? 2) How does one compile with a specific zlib? 3) How does one compile a fully static openssl? i will gladly test and post confirmation of solutions. thx. Regarding #1 ... INSTALL says the following: no-zlib Don't try
