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. See the end of this file for Eric's original comments.
|
|
|
|
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 I believe distributed in the past with VC++ and it is also part of
|
|
the MSDN SDKs. It is no longer distributed as part of VC++ and can be hard
|
|
to get hold of. It can be purchased: see Microsoft's site for details at:
|
|
http://www.microsoft.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 wont 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/egcs-1.1.2/egcs-1.1.2-mingw32.zip>. 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:
|
|
|
|
> perl Configure Mingw32
|
|
> ms\mw.bat
|
|
|
|
This will create the library and binaries in out.
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
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 externals then this means that either you
|
|
didn't read the note above about functions not having numbers assigned or
|
|
someone forgot to add a function to the header file.
|
|
|
|
In this latter case check out the header file to see if the function is
|
|
defined in the header file.
|
|
|
|
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.
