- INSTALLATION ON THE WIN32 PLATFORM
- ----------------------------------
-
- Heres a few comments about building OpenSSL in Windows environments. 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.
