2 INSTALLATION ON THE VMS PLATFORM
3 --------------------------------
8 This file is divided in the following parts:
10 Requirements - Mandatory reading.
11 Cheking the distribution - Mandatory reading.
14 Installation <TO BE ADDED>
15 Backward portability <TO BE ADDED>
16 Possible bugs and quirks <TO BE ADDED>
22 To build and install OpenSSL, you will need:
24 * Perl 5 with core modules (please read README.PERL)
25 * The perl module Text::Template (please read README.PERL)
26 * DEC C or some other ANSI C compiler. VAX C is *not* supported.
27 [Note: OpenSSL has only been tested with DEC C. Compiling with
28 a different ANSI C compiler may require some work]
30 Checking the distribution
31 -------------------------
33 There have been reports of places where the distribution didn't quite
34 get through, for example if you've copied the tree from a NFS-mounted
37 The easiest way to check if everything got through as it should is to
38 check for one of the following files:
40 [.crypto]opensslconf^.h.in
42 The best way to get a correct distribution is to download the gzipped
43 tar file from ftp://ftp.openssl.org/source/, use GUNZIP to uncompress
44 it and use VMSTAR to unpack the resulting tar file.
46 GUNZIP is available {FIXME: where is it available?}
48 VMSTAR is available {FIXME: where is it available?}
54 If you want to just get on with it, do this:
61 This will buidl and install OpenSSL in the default location, which is
62 SYS$COMMON:[OPENSSL-'VERSION']. If you want it to be anywhere else,
63 run config.com like this:
65 $ @config --prefix=PROGRAM:[OPENSSL]
