|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
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.
