Most of - this is tested on Win32 but it may also work in Win 3.1 with some - modification. - - You need Perl for Win32 (available from http://www.activestate.com/ActivePerl) - and one of the following C compilers: - - * Visual C++ - * Borland C - * GNU C (Mingw32 or Cygwin32) - - If you want to compile in the assembly language routines with Visual C++ then - you will need an assembler. This is worth doing because it will result in - faster code: for example it will typically result in a 2 times speedup in the - RSA routines. Currently the following assemblers are supported: - - * Microsoft MASM (aka "ml") - * Free Netwide Assembler NASM. - - MASM was at one point distributed with VC++. It is now distributed with some - Microsoft DDKs, for example the Windows NT 4.0 DDK and the Windows 98 DDK. If - you do not have either of these DDKs then you can just download the binaries - for the Windows 98 DDK and extract and rename the two files XXXXXml.exe and - XXXXXml.err, to ml.exe and ml.err and install somewhere on your PATH. Both - DDKs can be downloaded from the Microsoft developers site www.msdn.com. - - NASM is freely available. Version 0.98 was used during testing: other versions - may also work. It is available from many places, see for example: - http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/devel/nasm/binaries/win32/ - The NASM binary nasmw.exe needs to be installed anywhere on your PATH. - - If you are compiling from a tarball or a CVS snapshot then the Win32 files - may well be not up to date. This may mean that some "tweaking" is required to - get it all to work. See the trouble shooting section later on for if (when?) - it goes wrong. - - Visual C++ - ---------- - - Firstly you should run Configure: - - > perl Configure VC-WIN32 - - Next you need to build the Makefiles and optionally the assembly language - files: - - - If you are using MASM then run: - - > ms\do_masm - - - If you are using NASM then run: - - > ms\do_nasm - - - If you don't want to use the assembly language files at all then run: - - > ms\do_ms - - If you get errors about things not having numbers assigned then check the - troubleshooting section: you probably won't be able to compile it as it - stands. - - Then from the VC++ environment at a prompt do: - - > nmake -f ms\ntdll.mak - - If all is well it should compile and you will have some DLLs and executables - in out32dll. If you want to try the tests then do: - - > cd out32dll - > ..\ms\test - - Tweaks: - - There are various changes you can make to the Win32 compile environment. By - default the library is not compiled with debugging symbols. If you add 'debug' - to the mk1mk.pl lines in the do_* batch file then debugging symbols will be - compiled in. - - The default Win32 environment is to leave out any Windows NT specific - features. - - If you want to enable the NT specific features of OpenSSL (currently only the - logging BIO) follow the instructions above but call the batch file do_nt.bat - instead of do_ms.bat. - - You can also build a static version of the library using the Makefile - ms\nt.mak - - Borland C++ builder 3 and 4 - --------------------------- - - * Setup PATH. First must be GNU make then bcb4/bin - - * Run ms\bcb4.bat - - * Run make: - > make -f bcb.mak - - GNU C (Mingw32) - --------------- - - To build OpenSSL, you need the Mingw32 package and GNU make. - - * Compiler installation: - - Mingw32 is available from <ftp://ftp.xraylith.wisc.edu/pub/khan/ - gnu-win32/mingw32/gcc-2.95.2/gcc-2.95.2-msvcrt.exe>. GNU make is at - <ftp://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/home/janjaap/mingw32/binaries/ - make-3.76.1.zip>. Install both of them in C:\egcs-1.1.2 and run - C:\egcs-1.1.2\mingw32.bat to set the PATH. - - * Compile OpenSSL: - - > ms\mingw32 - - This will create the library and binaries in out. In case any problems - occur, try - > ms\mingw32 no-asm - instead. - - libcrypto.a and libssl.a are the static libraries. To use the DLLs, - link with libeay32.a and libssl32.a instead. - - See troubleshooting if you get error messages about functions not having - a number assigned. - - * You can now try the tests: - - > cd out - > ..\ms\test - - GNU C (CygWin32) - --------------- - - CygWin32 provides a bash shell and GNU tools environment running on - NT 4.0, Windows 9x and Windows 2000. Consequently, a make of OpenSSL - with CygWin is closer to a GNU bash environment such as Linux rather - than other W32 makes that are based on a single makefile approach. - CygWin32 implements Posix/Unix calls through cygwin1.dll, and is - contrasted to Mingw32 which links dynamically to msvcrt.dll or - crtdll.dll. - - To build OpenSSL using CygWin32: - - * Install CygWin32 (see http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin) - - * Install Perl and ensure it is in the path - - * Run the CygWin bash shell - - * $ tar zxvf openssl-x.x.x.tar.gz - $ cd openssl-x.x.x - $ ./Configure no-threads CygWin32 - [...] - $ make - [...] - $ make test - $ make install - - This will create a default install in /usr/local/ssl. - - CygWin32 Notes: - - "make test" and normal file operations may fail in directories - mounted as text (i.e. mount -t c:\somewhere /home) due to CygWin - stripping of carriage returns. To avoid this ensure that a binary - mount is used, e.g. mount -b c:\somewhere /home. - - As of version 1.1.1 CygWin32 is relatively unstable in its handling - of cr/lf issues. These make procedures succeeded with versions 1.1 and - the snapshot 20000524 (Slow!). - - "bc" is not provided in the CygWin32 distribution. This causes a - non-fatal error in "make test" but is otherwise harmless. If - desired, GNU bc can be built with CygWin32 without change. - - - Installation - ------------ - - There's currently no real installation procedure for Win32. There are, - however, some suggestions: - - - do nothing. The include files are found in the inc32/ subdirectory, - all binaries are found in out32dll/ or out32/ depending if you built - dynamic or static libraries. - - - do as is written in INSTALL.Win32 that comes with modssl: - - $ md c:\openssl - $ md c:\openssl\bin - $ md c:\openssl\lib - $ md c:\openssl\include - $ md c:\openssl\include\openssl - $ copy /b inc32\* c:\openssl\include\openssl - $ copy /b out32dll\ssleay32.lib c:\openssl\lib - $ copy /b out32dll\libeay32.lib c:\openssl\lib - $ copy /b out32dll\ssleay32.dll c:\openssl\bin - $ copy /b out32dll\libeay32.dll c:\openssl\bin - $ copy /b out32dll\openssl.exe c:\openssl\bin - - Of course, you can choose another device than c:. C: is used here - because that's usually the first (and often only) harddisk device. - Note: in the modssl INSTALL.Win32, p: is used rather than c:. - - - Troubleshooting - --------------- - - Since the Win32 build is only occasionally tested it may not always compile - cleanly. If you get an error about functions not having numbers assigned - when you run ms\do_ms then this means the Win32 ordinal files are not up to - date. You can do: - - > perl util\mkdef.pl crypto ssl update - - then ms\do_XXX should not give a warning any more. However the numbers that - get assigned by this technique may not match those that eventually get - assigned in the CVS tree: so anything linked against this version of the - library may need to be recompiled. - - If you get errors about unresolved symbols there are several possible - causes. - - If this happens when the DLL is being linked and you have disabled some - ciphers then it is possible the DEF file generator hasn't removed all - the disabled symbols: the easiest solution is to edit the DEF files manually - to delete them. The DEF files are ms\libeay32.def ms\ssleay32.def. - - Another cause is if you missed or ignored the errors about missing numbers - mentioned above. - - If you get warnings in the code then the compilation will halt. - - The default Makefile for Win32 halts whenever any warnings occur. Since VC++ - has its own ideas about warnings which don't always match up to other - environments this can happen. The best fix is to edit the file with the - warning in and fix it. Alternatively you can turn off the halt on warnings by - editing the CFLAG line in the Makefile and deleting the /WX option. - - You might get compilation errors. Again you will have to fix these or report - them. - - One final comment about compiling applications linked to the OpenSSL library. - If you don't use the multithreaded DLL runtime library (/MD option) your - program will almost certainly crash because malloc gets confused -- the - OpenSSL DLLs are statically linked to one version, the application must - not use a different one. You might be able to work around such problems - by adding CRYPTO_malloc_init() to your program before any calls to the - OpenSSL libraries: This tells the OpenSSL libraries to use the same - malloc(), free() and realloc() as the application. However there are many - standard library functions used by OpenSSL that call malloc() internally - (e.g. fopen()), and OpenSSL cannot change these; so in general you cannot - rely on CYRPTO_malloc_init() solving your problem, and you should - consistently use the multithreaded library. |
