|
|
|
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 oen 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 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.
