-Intro:
-======
-
-This file is divided in the following parts:
-
- Requirements - Mandatory reading.
- Checking the distribution - Mandatory reading.
- Compilation - Mandatory reading.
- Logical names - Mandatory reading.
- Test - Mandatory reading.
- Installation - Mandatory reading.
- Backward portability - Read if it's an issue.
- Possible bugs or quirks - A few warnings on things that
- may go wrong or may surprise you.
- TODO - Things that are to come.
-
-
-Requirements:
-=============
-
-To build and install OpenSSL, you will need:
-
- * DEC C or some other ANSI C compiler. VAX C is *not* supported.
- [Note: OpenSSL has only been tested with DEC C. Compiling with
- a different ANSI C compiler may require some work]
-
-Checking the distribution:
-==========================
-
-There have been reports of places where the distribution didn't quite get
-through, for example if you've copied the tree from a NFS-mounted Unix
-mount point.
-
-The easiest way to check if everything got through as it should is to check
-for one of the following files:
-
- [.CRYPTO]OPENSSLCONF.H_IN
- [.CRYPTO]OPENSSLCONF_H.IN
-
-They should never exist both at once, but one of them should (preferably
-the first variant). If you can't find any of those two, something went
-wrong.
-
-The best way to get a correct distribution is to download the gzipped tar
-file from ftp://ftp.openssl.org/source/, use GUNZIP to uncompress it and
-use VMSTAR to unpack the resulting tar file.
-
-GUNZIP is available in many places on the net. One of the distribution
-points is the WKU software archive, ftp://ftp.wku.edu/vms/fileserv/ .
-
-VMSTAR is also available in many places on the net. The recommended place
-to find information about it is http://www.free.lp.se/vmstar/ .
-
-
-Compilation:
-============
-
-I've used the very good command procedures written by Robert Byer
-<byer@mail.all-net.net>, and just slightly modified them, making
-them slightly more general and easier to maintain.
-
-You can actually compile in almost any directory separately. Look
-for a command procedure name xxx-LIB.COM (in the library directories)
-or MAKExxx.COM (in the program directories) and read the comments at
-the top to understand how to use them. However, if you want to
-compile all you can get, the simplest is to use MAKEVMS.COM in the top
-directory. The syntax is the following:
-
- @MAKEVMS <option> <bits> <debug-p> [<compiler>]
-
-<option> must be one of the following:
-
- ALL Just build "everything".
- CONFIG Just build the "[.CRYPTO]OPENSSLCONF.H" file.
- BUILDINF Just build the "[.INCLUDE]BUILDINF.H" file.
- SOFTLINKS Just copies some files, to simulate Unix soft links.
- BUILDALL Same as ALL, except CONFIG, BUILDINF and SOFTLINKS aren't done.
- RSAREF Just build the "[.xxx.EXE.RSAREF]LIBRSAGLUE.OLB" library.
- CRYPTO Just build the "[.xxx.EXE.CRYPTO]LIBCRYPTO.OLB" library.
- SSL Just build the "[.xxx.EXE.SSL]LIBSSL.OLB" library.
- SSL_TASK Just build the "[.xxx.EXE.SSL]SSL_TASK.EXE" program.
- TEST Just build the "[.xxx.EXE.TEST]" test programs for OpenSSL.
- APPS Just build the "[.xxx.EXE.APPS]" application programs for OpenSSL.
-
-<bits> must be one of the following:
-
- "" compile using default pointer size
- 32 compile using 32 bit pointer size
- 64 compile using 64 bit pointer size
-
-<debug-p> must be one of the following:
-
- DEBUG compile with debugging info (will not optimize)
- NODEBUG compile without debugging info (will optimize)
-
-<compiler> must be one of the following:
-
- DECC For DEC C.
- GNUC For GNU C.
-
-
-You will find the crypto library in [.xxx.EXE.CRYPTO] (where xxx is VAX,
-ALPHA or IA64), called SSL_LIBCRYPTO32.OLB or SSL_LIBCRYPTO.OLB depending
-on how it was built. You will find the SSL library in [.xxx.EXE.SSL],
-named SSL_LIBSSL32.OLB or SSL_LIBSSL.OLB, and you will find a bunch of
-useful programs in [.xxx.EXE.APPS]. However, these shouldn't be used
-right off unless it's just to test them. For production use, make sure
-you install first, see Installation below.
-
-Note 1: Some programs in this package require a TCP/IP library.
-
-Note 2: if you want to compile the crypto library only, please make sure
- you have at least done a @MAKEVMS CONFIG, a @MAKEVMS BUILDINF and
- a @MAKEVMS SOFTLINKS. A lot of things will break if you don't.
-
-
-Logical names:
-==============
-
-There are a few things that can't currently be given through the command
-line. Instead, logical names are used.
-
-Currently, the logical names supported are:
-
- OPENSSL_NO_ASM with value YES, the assembler parts of OpenSSL will
- not be used. Instead, plain C implementations are
- used. This is good to try if something doesn't work.
- OPENSSL_NO_'alg' with value YES, the corresponding crypto algorithm
- will not be implemented. Supported algorithms to
- do this with are: RSA, DSA, DH, MD2, MD4, MD5, RIPEMD,
- SHA, DES, MDC2, CR2, RC4, RC5, IDEA, BF, CAST, HMAC,
- SSL2. So, for example, having the logical name
- OPENSSL_NO_RSA with the value YES means that the
- LIBCRYPTO.OLB library will not contain an RSA
- implementation.
-
-
-Test:
-=====
-
-Testing is very simple, just do the following:
-
- @[.TEST]TESTS
-
-If a test fails, try with defining the logical name OPENSSL_NO_ASM (yes,
-it's an ugly hack!) and rebuild. Please send a bug report to
-<openssl-bugs@openssl.org>, including the output of "openssl version -a"
-and of the failed test.
-
-
-Installation:
-=============
-
-Installation is easy, just do the following:
-
- @INSTALL <root> <bits>
-
-<root> is the directory in which everything will be installed,
-subdirectories, libraries, header files, programs and startup command
-procedures.
-
-<bits> works the same way as for MAKEVMS.COM
-
-N.B.: INSTALL.COM builds a new directory structure, different from
-the directory tree where you have now build OpenSSL.
-
-In the [.VMS] subdirectory of the installation, you will find the
-following command procedures:
-
- OPENSSL_STARTUP.COM
-
- defines all needed logical names. Takes one argument that
- tells it in what logical name table to insert the logical
- names. If you insert if it SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM, the
- call should look like this:
-
- @openssldev:[openssldir.VMS]OPENSSL_STARTUP "/SYSTEM"
-
- OPENSSL_UTILS.COM
-
- sets up the symbols to the applications. Should be called
- from for example SYS$MANAGER:SYLOGIN.COM
-
- OPENSSL_UNDO.COM
-
- deassigns the logical names created with OPENSSL_STARTUP.COM.
-
-The logical names that are set up are the following:
-
- SSLROOT a dotted concealed logical name pointing at the
- root directory.
-
- SSLCERTS Initially an empty directory, this is the default
- location for certificate files.
- SSLPRIVATE Initially an empty directory, this is the default
- location for private key files.
-
- SSLEXE Contains the openssl binary and a few other utility
- programs.
- SSLINCLUDE Contains the header files needed if you want to
- compile programs with libcrypto or libssl.
- SSLLIB Contains the OpenSSL library files themselves:
- - SSL_LIBCRYPTO32.OLB and SSL_LIBSSL32.OLB or
- - SSL_LIBCRYPTO.OLB and SSL_LIBSSL.OLB
-
- OPENSSL Same as SSLINCLUDE. This is because the standard
- way to include OpenSSL header files from version
- 0.9.3 and on is:
-
- #include <openssl/header.h>
-
- For more info on this issue, see the INSTALL. file
- (the NOTE in section 4 of "Installation in Detail").
- You don't need to "deleting old header files"!!!
-
-
-Backward portability:
-=====================
-
-One great problem when you build a library is making sure it will work
-on as many versions of VMS as possible. Especially, code compiled on
-OpenVMS version 7.x and above tend to be unusable in version 6.x or
-lower, because some C library routines have changed names internally
-(the C programmer won't usually see it, because the old name is
-maintained through C macros). One obvious solution is to make sure
-you have a development machine with an old enough version of OpenVMS.
-However, if you are stuck with a bunch of Alphas running OpenVMS version
-7.1, you seem to be out of luck. Fortunately, the DEC C header files
-are cluttered with conditionals that make some declarations and definitions
-dependent on the OpenVMS version or the C library version, *and* you
-can use those macros to simulate older OpenVMS or C library versions,
-by defining the macros _VMS_V6_SOURCE, __VMS_VER and __CTRL_VER with
-correct values. In the compilation scripts, I've provided the possibility
-for the user to influence the creation of such macros, through a bunch of
-symbols, all having names starting with USER_. Here's the list of them:
-
- USER_CCFLAGS - Used to give additional qualifiers to the
- compiler. It can't be used to define macros
- since the scripts will do such things as well.
- To do such things, use USER_CCDEFS.
- USER_CCDEFS - Used to define macros on the command line. The
- value of this symbol will be inserted inside a
- /DEFINE=(...).
- USER_CCDISABLEWARNINGS - Used to disable some warnings. The value is
- inserted inside a /DISABLE=WARNING=(...).
-
-So, to maintain backward compatibility with older VMS versions, do the
-following before you start compiling:
-
- $ USER_CCDEFS := _VMS_V6_SOURCE=1,__VMS_VER=60000000,__CRTL_VER=60000000
- $ USER_CCDISABLEWARNINGS := PREOPTW
-
-The USER_CCDISABLEWARNINGS is there because otherwise, DEC C will complain
-that those macros have been changed.
-
-Note: Currently, this is only useful for library compilation. The
- programs will still be linked with the current version of the
- C library shareable image, and will thus complain if they are
- faced with an older version of the same C library shareable image.
- This will probably be fixed in a future revision of OpenSSL.
-
-
-Possible bugs or quirks:
-========================
-
-I'm not perfectly sure all the programs will use the SSLCERTS:
-directory by default, it may very well be that you have to give them
-extra arguments. Please experiment.
-
-
-TODO:
-=====
-
-There are a few things that need to be worked out in the VMS version of
-OpenSSL, still:
-
-- Description files. ("Makefile's" :-))
-- Script code to link an already compiled build tree.
-- A VMSINSTALlable version (way in the future, unless someone else hacks).
-- shareable images (DLL for you Windows folks).
-
-There may be other things that I have missed and that may be desirable.
-Please send mail to <openssl-users@openssl.org> or to me directly if you
-have any ideas.
