VMS Installation instructions
written by Richard Levitte
<richard@levitte.org>
Intro:
======
This file is divided in the following parts:
Compilation - Mandatory reading.
Test - Mandatory reading.
Installation - Mandatory reading.
Backward portability - Read if it's an issue.
Possible bugs or quirks - A few warnings on things that
may go wrong or may surprise you.
Report - How to get in touch with me.
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".
DATE Just build the "[.INCLUDE]DATE.H" file.
SOFTLINKS Just copies some files, to simulate Unix soft links.
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 "test" programs for OpenSSL.
APPS Just build the "application" programs for OpenSSL.
<rsaref-p> must be one of the following:
RSAREF compile using the RSAREF Library
NORSAREF compile without using RSAREF
Note: The RSAREF libraries are NOT INCLUDED and you have to
download it from "ftp://ftp.rsa.com/rsaref". You have to
get the ".tar-Z" file as the ".zip" file dosen'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:
VAXC For VAX C.
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: 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 DATE and a @MAKEVMS SOFTLINKS.
A lot of things will break if you don't.
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.
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.
SSLLIB points at the directory where CRYPTORTL.OLB and
SSLRTL.OLB are installed.
SSLINCLUDE points at the directory where the header files are
installed.
SSLEXE points at the directory where the applications are
installed.
SSLCERTS the place where the certificates are stored.
SSLPRIVATE I'm actually not sure what this is used for.
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 influense 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.
Report:
=======
I maintain a few mailinglists for bug reports and such on software that
I develop/port/enhance/destroy. Please look at http://www.free.lp.se/
for further info.
