| NOTES FOR THE OPENVMS PLATFORM | |
| ============================== | |
| Requirement details | |
| ------------------- | |
| In addition to the requirements listed in INSTALL, these are required | |
| as well: | |
| * At least ODS-5 disk organization for source and build. | |
| Installation can be done on any existing disk organization. | |
| About ANSI C compiler | |
| --------------------- | |
| An ANSI C compiled is needed among other things. This means that VAX C | |
| is not and will not be supported. | |
| We have only tested with DEC C (a.k.a HP VMS C / VSI 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 through, for example if you've copied the tree from a NFS-mounted | |
| Unix mount point. | |
| The easiest way to check if everything got through as it should is to | |
| check for one of the following files: | |
| [.crypto]opensslconf^.h.in | |
| The best way to get a correct distribution is to download the gzipped | |
| tar file from ftp://ftp.openssl.org/source/, use GZIP -d to uncompress | |
| it and VMSTAR to unpack the resulting tar file. | |
| Gzip and VMSTAR are available here: | |

| Should you need it, you can find UnZip for VMS here: | |
