INSTALLATION FOR THE WINDOWS CE PLATFORM | |
---------------------------------------- | |
Building OpenSSL for Windows CE requires the following external tools: | |
* Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ 3.0 | |
* wcecompat compatibility library (www.essemer.com.au) | |
* Optionally ceutils for running automated tests (www.essemer.com.au) | |
You also need Perl for Win32. You will need ActiveState Perl, available | |
from http://www.activestate.com/ActivePerl. | |
Windows CE support in OpenSSL relies on wcecompat. All Windows CE specific | |
issues should be directed to www.essemer.com.au. | |
The C Runtime Library implementation for Windows CE that is included with | |
Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ 3.0 is incomplete and in some places | |
incorrect. wcecompat plugs the holes and tries to bring the Windows CE | |
CRT to a level that is more compatible with ANSI C. wcecompat goes further | |
and provides low-level IO and stream IO support for stdin/stdout/stderr | |
(which Windows CE does not provide). This IO functionality is not needed | |
by the OpenSSL library itself but is used for the tests and openssl.exe. | |
More information is available at www.essemer.com.au. | |
Building | |
-------- | |
Setup the eMbedded Visual C++ environment. There are batch files for doing | |
this installed with eVC++. For an ARM processor, for example, execute: | |
> "C:\Program Files\Microsoft eMbedded Tools\EVC\WCE300\BIN\WCEARM.BAT" | |
Next indicate where wcecompat is located: | |
> set WCECOMPAT=C:\wcecompat | |
Next you should run Configure: | |
> perl Configure VC-CE | |
Next you need to build the Makefiles: | |
> ms\do_ms | |
If you get errors about things not having numbers assigned then check the | |
troubleshooting section in INSTALL.W32: you probably won't be able to compile | |
it as it stands. | |
Then from the VC++ environment at a prompt do: | |
- to build static libraries: | |
> nmake -f ms\ce.mak | |
- or to build DLLs: | |
> nmake -f ms\cedll.mak | |
If all is well it should compile and you will have some static libraries and | |
executables in out32, or some DLLs and executables in out32dll. If you want | |
to try the tests then make sure the ceutils are in the path and do: | |
> cd out32 | |
> ..\ms\testce | |
This will copy each of the test programs to the Windows CE device and execute | |
them, displaying the output of the tests on this computer. The output should | |
look similar to the output produced by running the tests for a regular Windows | |
build. | |
