This file is divided in the following parts:
+ Requirements - Mandatory reading.
Checking the distribution - Mandatory reading.
Compilation - Mandatory reading.
Logical names - Mandatory reading.
TODO - Things that are to come.
+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

mount point.
The easiest way to check if everything got through as it should is to check

[.CRYPTO]OPENSSLCONF.H_IN
[.CRYPTO]OPENSSLCONF_H.IN
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

- @MAKEVMS <option> <rsaref-p> <debug-p> [<compiler>]
+ @MAKEVMS <option> <bits> <debug-p> [<compiler>]
<option> must be one of the following:
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
+<bits> must be one of the following:
-Note 1: 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 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:
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

Note 1: Some programs in this package require a TCP/IP library.
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, 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.
-
+ OPENSSL_NO_'alg' with value YES, the corresponding crypto algorithm,
+ protocol or other routine will not be implemented if
+ disabling it is supported. Supported algorithms to
+ do this with are: AES, BF, CAMELLIA, CAST, CMS, COMP,
+ DES, DGRAM, DH, DSA, EC, EC2M, ECDH, ECDSA, ENGINE,
+ ERR, GOST, HEARTBEATS, HMAC, IDEA, MD2, MD4,
+ MD5, OCB, OCSP, PSK, RC2, RC4, RC5, RMD160, RSA, SCTP,
+ SEED, SOCK, SRP, SRTP, TLSEXT, WHIRLPOOL. 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.
+ OPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_'alg'
+ with value YES, the corresponding experimental
+ algorithm is enabled. Note that is also requires
+ the application using this to define the C macro
+ OPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_'alg'. Supported algorithms
+ to do this with are: JPAKE, STORE.
Test:
=====
Installation is easy, just do the following:
- @INSTALL <root>
+ @INSTALL <root> <bits>
<root> is the directory in which everything will be installed,
subdirectories, libraries, header files, programs and startup command
procedures.
+<bits> works the same way as for MAKEVMS.COM
+
N.B.: INSTALL.COM builds a new directory structure, different from
the directory tree where you have now build OpenSSL.

from for example SYS$MANAGER:SYLOGIN.COM

The logical names that are set up are the following:

- SSLMISC Various scripts.

SSLINCLUDE Contains the header files needed if you want to
