2016-08-06Add a note about a perl issue on VMS and how to work around itRichard Levitte
I bug in perl's File::Spec->canonpath() was uncovered. There's nothing we can do about it (except re-implementing canonpath()), except working around the problem (a directory rename) and reporting the issue to the perl module developers. Reviewed-by: Rich Salz <rsalz@openssl.org>
2016-08-03INSTALL: Make the use of [, ], { and } consistent and explain itRichard Levitte
The diverse notations used in INSTALL are not as self explanatory as we might imagine, so let's attempt a consistent notation for mandatory and optional pieces of a command line, and to explain the meaning of each notation. This does away with the bash notation used in one spot, as it isn't universally understood and will only confuse the unknowing more. Reviewed-by: Rich Salz <rsalz@openssl.org>

2016-07-04perl: Separate compile-time environment from runtime environmentRichard Levitte
Make it possible to have a separate and different perl command string for installable scripts than we use when building, with the environment variable HASHBANGPERL. Its value default to the same as the environment PERL if it's defined, otherwise '/usr/bin/env perl'. Note: this is only relevant for Unix-like environments.

2016-05-23Slight cleanup of the collection of READMEs, INSTALLs and NOTESRichard Levitte
README is a fairly independent document, and so is INSTALL. NOTES are merely addendums to INSTALL. Therefore , INSTALL.DJGPP and README.PERL get renamed to NOTES.DJGPP and NOTES.PERL. Reviewed-by: Rich Salz <rsalz@openssl.org>

2016-05-09VMS: support VERBOSE and V in descrip.mmsRichard Levitte
With Unixly Makefiles as well as with nmake, make variables are transferred to the shell running the commands as envinronment variables. This principle doesn't apply with MMS, so we must explicitely define VERBOSE as commands when it's needed. Reviewed-by: Rich Salz <rsalz@openssl.org>

It was added as part of 2df84dd3299ff25fa078ca7ffbdeaac65b361feb but has never actually been used for anything; presumably it was a typo for one of SCTP or CT.

2016-02-12Rename INSTALL_PREFIX to DESTDIR, remove option --install_prefixRichard Levitte
INSTALL_PREFIX is a confusing name, as there's also --prefix. Instead, tag along with the rest of the open source world and adopt the Makefile variable DESTDIR to designate the desired staging directory. The Configure option --install_prefix is removed, the only way to designate a staging directory is with the Makefile variable (this is also implemented for VMS' descrip.mms et al).
