OpenSSL - Port To The Macintosh
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
Thanks to Roy Wood <roy@centricsystems.ca> initial support for MacOS (pre
|
|
X) is now provided. "Initial" means that unlike other platforms where you
|
|
get an SDK and a "swiss army" openssl application, on Macintosh you only
|
|
get one sample application which fetches a page over HTTPS(*) and dumps it
|
|
in a window. We don't even build the test applications so that we can't
|
|
guarantee that all algorithms are operational.
|
|
|
|
Required software:
|
|
|
|
- StuffIt Expander (or any program capable to "unbinhex");
|
|
- DropStuff w/EE (or MacGzip and SUNtar);
|
|
- CodeWarrior Pro 5;
|
|
|
|
Installation procedure:
|
|
|
|
- fetch the source at ftp://ftp.openssl.org/ (well, you probably already
|
|
did, huh?)
|
|
- unpack the .tar.gz file:
|
|
- if you have DropStuff w/EE installed then just drag it over
|
|
StuffIt Expander;
|
|
- otherwise process it first with MacGzip and then with SUNtar;
|
|
- locate MacOS folder in OpenSSL source tree and open it;
|
|
- unbinhex mklinks.as.hqx and OpenSSL.mcp.hqx in place;
|
|
- double-click on mklinks.as;
|
|
- open OpenSSL.mcp and compile 'GetHTTPS PPC' target;
|
|
- that's it;
|
|
|
|
(*) URL is hardcoded into GetHTTPS Sources/GetHTTPS.cpp

Finally some essential comments from our generous contributor:-)
|

"I've gotten OpenSSL working on the Macintosh. It's probably a bit of a
|
|
hack, but it works for what I'm doing. If you don't like the way I've done
|
|
it, then feel free to change what I've done. I freely admit that I've done
|
|
some less-than-ideal things in my port, and if you don't like the way I've
|
|
done something, then feel free to change it-- I won't be offended!
|
|
|
|
... I've tweaked "bss_sock.c" a little to call routines in a "MacSocket"
|
|
library I wrote. My MacSocket library is a wrapper around OpenTransport,
|
|
handling stuff like endpoint creation, reading, writing, etc. It is not
|
|
designed as a high-performance package such as you'd use in a webserver,
|
|
but is fine for lots of other applications. MacSocket also uses some other
|
|
code libraries I've written to deal with string manipulations and error
|
|
handling. Feel free to use these things in your own code, but give me
|
|
credit and/or send me free stuff in appreciation! :-)
