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 trhe following: - - @MAKEVMS <option> <rsaref-p> <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 SOFTILNKS 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. - -<rsaref-p> must be one of the following: - - RSAREF compile using the RSAREF Library - NORSAREF compile without using RSAREF - -Note 0: The RASREF library IS NO LONGER NEEDED. The RSA patent - expires September 20, 2000, and RSA Security chose to make - the algorithm public domain two weeks before that. - -Note 1: If you still want to use RSAREF, the library is NOT INCLUDED - and you have to download it. RSA Security doesn't carry it - any more, but there are a number of places where you can find - it. You have to get the ".tar-Z" file as the ".zip" file - doesn't have the directory structure stored. You have to - extract the file into the [.RSAREF] directory as that is where - the scripts will look for the files. - -Note 2: I have never done this, so I've no idea if it works or not. - -<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], called LIBCRYPTO.OLB, -where xxx is VAX or AXP. You will find the SSL library in [.xxx.EXE.SSL], -named 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> - -<root> is the directory in which everything will be installed, -subdirectories, libraries, header files, programs and startup command -procedures. - -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 - -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. - SSLMISC Various scripts. - 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 (LIBCRYPTO.OLB - and LIBSSL.OLB) themselves. - - 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 usefull 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. - --- -Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org> -2000-02-27 |
