2 NOTES FOR THE OPENVMS PLATFORM
3 ==============================
8 In addition to the requirements and instructions listed in INSTALL,
9 this are required as well:
11 * At least ODS-5 disk organization for source and build.
12 Installation can be done on any existing disk organization.
18 An ANSI C compiled is needed among other things. This means that
19 VAX C is not and will not be supported.
21 We have only tested with DEC C (a.k.a HP VMS C / VSI C) and require
22 version 7.1 or later. Compiling with a different ANSI C compiler may
25 Please avoid using C RTL feature logical names DECC$* when building
26 and testing OpenSSL. Most of all, they can be disruptive when
27 running the tests, as they affect the Perl interpreter.
33 MMS has certain limitations when it comes to line length, and DCL has
34 certain limitations when it comes to total command length. We do
35 what we can to mitigate, but there is the possibility that it's not
36 enough. Should you run into issues, a very simple solution is to set
37 yourself up a few logical names for the directory trees you're going
41 Checking the distribution
42 -------------------------
44 There have been reports of places where the distribution didn't quite
45 get through, for example if you've copied the tree from a NFS-mounted
48 The easiest way to check if everything got through as it should is to
49 check for one of the following files:
51 [.crypto]opensslconf^.h.in
53 The best way to get a correct distribution is to download the gzipped
54 tar file from ftp://ftp.openssl.org/source/, use GZIP -d to uncompress
55 it and VMSTAR to unpack the resulting tar file.
57 Gzip and VMSTAR are available here:
