2 INSTALLATION ON THE WIN32 PLATFORM

Dr. Stephen Henson5c008791999-02-14 00:40:13 +00004
Ralf S. Engelschall4109b971999-03-22 15:36:37 +00005 Heres a few comments about building OpenSSL in Windows environments. Most of
6 this is tested on Win32 but it may also work in Win 3.1 with some
7 modification. See the end of this file for Eric's original comments.
Dr. Stephen Henson5c008791999-02-14 00:40:13 +00008
Dr. Stephen Henson982baa71999-05-24 13:20:21 +00009 You need Perl for Win32 (available from http://www.activestate.com/ActivePerl)
Ulf Möller31a674d1999-05-06 00:46:34 +000010 and one of the following C compilers:
Dr. Stephen Henson06c68491999-03-03 02:01:26 +000011
Ulf Möller31a674d1999-05-06 00:46:34 +000012 * Visual C++
13 * Borland C
14 * GNU C (Mingw32 or Cygwin32)
Dr. Stephen Henson5c008791999-02-14 00:40:13 +000015
Dr. Stephen Hensonb617a5b1999-07-12 23:35:10 +000016 If you want to compile in the assembly language routines with Visual C++ then
17 you will need an assembler. This is worth doing because it will result in
18 faster code: for example it will typically result in a 2 times speedup in the
19 RSA routines. Currently the following assemblers are supported:
20
21 * Microsoft MASM (aka "ml")
22 * Free Netwide Assembler NASM.
23
24 MASM was I believe distributed in the past with VC++ and it is also part of
25 the MSDN SDKs. It is no longer distributed as part of VC++ and can be hard
26 to get hold of. It can be purchased: see Microsoft's site for details at:
27 http://www.microsoft.com/
28
29 NASM is freely available. Version 0.98 was used during testing: other versions
30 may also work. It is available from many places, see for example:
31 http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/devel/nasm/binaries/win32/
32 The NASM binary nasmw.exe needs to be installed anywhere on your PATH.
33
Ralf S. Engelschall4109b971999-03-22 15:36:37 +000034 If you are compiling from a tarball or a CVS snapshot then the Win32 files
35 may well be not up to date. This may mean that some "tweaking" is required to
36 get it all to work. See the trouble shooting section later on for if (when?)
37 it goes wrong.

Ulf Möller31a674d1999-05-06 00:46:34 +000039 Visual C++
40 ----------
41
Dr. Stephen Hensonb617a5b1999-07-12 23:35:10 +000042 Firstly you should run Configure:
Dr. Stephen Henson5c008791999-02-14 00:40:13 +000043
Ralf S. Engelschall4109b971999-03-22 15:36:37 +000044 > perl Configure VC-WIN32
Dr. Stephen Hensonb617a5b1999-07-12 23:35:10 +000045
46 Next you need to build the Makefiles and optionally the assembly language
Bodo Möller5067cce1999-08-03 20:19:04 +000047 files:
Dr. Stephen Hensonb617a5b1999-07-12 23:35:10 +000048
Bodo Möller5067cce1999-08-03 20:19:04 +000049 - If you are using MASM then run:
Dr. Stephen Hensonb617a5b1999-07-12 23:35:10 +000050
Bodo Möller5067cce1999-08-03 20:19:04 +000051 > ms\do_masm
Dr. Stephen Hensonb617a5b1999-07-12 23:35:10 +000052
Bodo Möller5067cce1999-08-03 20:19:04 +000053 - If you are using NASM then run:
Dr. Stephen Hensonb617a5b1999-07-12 23:35:10 +000054
Bodo Möller5067cce1999-08-03 20:19:04 +000055 > ms\do_nasm
Dr. Stephen Hensonb617a5b1999-07-12 23:35:10 +000056
Bodo Möller5067cce1999-08-03 20:19:04 +000057 - If you don't want to use the assembly language files at all then run:
Dr. Stephen Hensonb617a5b1999-07-12 23:35:10 +000058
Bodo Möller5067cce1999-08-03 20:19:04 +000059 > ms\do_ms
Dr. Stephen Henson5c008791999-02-14 00:40:13 +000060
Ralf S. Engelschall4109b971999-03-22 15:36:37 +000061 If you get errors about things not having numbers assigned then check the
62 troubleshooting section: you probably wont be able to compile it as it
63 stands.
Dr. Stephen Henson5c008791999-02-14 00:40:13 +000064
Ralf S. Engelschall4109b971999-03-22 15:36:37 +000065 Then from the VC++ environment at a prompt do:
Dr. Stephen Henson5c008791999-02-14 00:40:13 +000066
Ralf S. Engelschall4109b971999-03-22 15:36:37 +000067 > nmake -f ms\ntdll.mak
Dr. Stephen Henson5c008791999-02-14 00:40:13 +000068
Ralf S. Engelschall4109b971999-03-22 15:36:37 +000069 If all is well it should compile and you will have some DLLs and executables
70 in out32dll. If you want to try the tests then do:
71
72 > cd out32dll
73 > ..\ms\test
Dr. Stephen Henson5c008791999-02-14 00:40:13 +000074
Ulf Möller31a674d1999-05-06 00:46:34 +000075 Tweaks:
76
Dr. Stephen Hensonb617a5b1999-07-12 23:35:10 +000077 There are various changes you can make to the Win32 compile environment. By
78 default the library is not compiled with debugging symbols. If you add 'debug'
79 to the mk1mk.pl lines in the do_* batch file then debugging symbols will be
80 compiled in.
Ulf Möller31a674d1999-05-06 00:46:34 +000081
82 The default Win32 environment is to leave out any Windows NT specific
83 features.
84
85 If you want to enable the NT specific features of OpenSSL (currently only the
86 logging BIO) follow the instructions above but call the batch file do_nt.bat
87 instead of do_ms.bat.
88
89 You can also build a static version of the library using the Makefile
90 ms\nt.mak
91
92 Borland C++ builder 3 and 4
93 ---------------------------
94
95 * Setup PATH. First must be GNU make then bcb4/bin
96
97 * Run ms\bcb4.bat
98
99 * Run make:
100 > make -f bcb.mak
101
102 GNU C (Mingw32)
103 ---------------
104
105 To build OpenSSL, you need the Mingw32 package and GNU make.
106
Ulf Möller7d5d27b1999-05-07 22:55:27 +0000107 * Compiler installation:
Ulf Möllerfb3214f1999-05-06 01:29:57 +0000108
Ulf Möller7d5d27b1999-05-07 22:55:27 +0000109 Mingw32 is available from <ftp://ftp.xraylith.wisc.edu/pub/khan/gnu-win32/
110 mingw32/egcs-1.1.2/egcs-1.1.2-mingw32.zip>. GNU make is at
111 <ftp://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/home/janjaap/mingw32/binaries/
112 make-3.76.1.zip>. Install both of them in C:\egcs-1.1.2 and run
113 C:\egcs-1.1.2\mingw32.bat to set the PATH.
Ulf Möller31a674d1999-05-06 00:46:34 +0000114
Ulf Möller7d5d27b1999-05-07 22:55:27 +0000115 * Compile OpenSSL:
Ulf Möller31a674d1999-05-06 00:46:34 +0000116
Ulf Möller31ff97b1999-05-13 10:28:14 +0000117 > perl Configure Mingw32
118 > ms\mw.bat
Ulf Möller31a674d1999-05-06 00:46:34 +0000119
Ulf Möller7d5d27b1999-05-07 22:55:27 +0000120 This will create the library and binaries in out.
Ulf Möller31a674d1999-05-06 00:46:34 +0000121
Ulf Möller7d5d27b1999-05-07 22:55:27 +0000122 libcrypto.a and libssl.a are the static libraries. To use the DLLs,
123 link with libeay32.a and libssl32.a instead.
Ulf Möller31a674d1999-05-06 00:46:34 +0000124
Ulf Möller7d5d27b1999-05-07 22:55:27 +0000125 See troubleshooting if you get error messages about functions not having
126 a number assigned.
Ulf Möller31a674d1999-05-06 00:46:34 +0000127
Ulf Möller7d5d27b1999-05-07 22:55:27 +0000128 * You can now try the tests:
Ulf Möller31a674d1999-05-06 00:46:34 +0000129
130 > cd out
131 > ..\ms\test
132
Ralf S. Engelschall4109b971999-03-22 15:36:37 +0000133 Troubleshooting
134 ---------------
Dr. Stephen Henson5c008791999-02-14 00:40:13 +0000135
Ralf S. Engelschall4109b971999-03-22 15:36:37 +0000136 Since the Win32 build is only occasionally tested it may not always compile
137 cleanly. If you get an error about functions not having numbers assigned
138 when you run ms\do_ms then this means the Win32 ordinal files are not up to
139 date. You can do:
Dr. Stephen Henson5c008791999-02-14 00:40:13 +0000140
Ralf S. Engelschall4109b971999-03-22 15:36:37 +0000141 > perl util\mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
Dr. Stephen Henson5c008791999-02-14 00:40:13 +0000142
Dr. Stephen Hensonb617a5b1999-07-12 23:35:10 +0000143 then ms\do_XXX should not give a warning any more. However the numbers that
Ralf S. Engelschall4109b971999-03-22 15:36:37 +0000144 get assigned by this technique may not match those that eventually get
145 assigned in the CVS tree: so anything linked against this version of the
146 library may need to be recompiled.
Dr. Stephen Henson5c008791999-02-14 00:40:13 +0000147
Ralf S. Engelschall4109b971999-03-22 15:36:37 +0000148 If you get errors about unresolved externals then this means that either you
149 didn't read the note above about functions not having numbers assigned or
150 someone forgot to add a function to the header file.
Dr. Stephen Henson5c008791999-02-14 00:40:13 +0000151
Ralf S. Engelschall4109b971999-03-22 15:36:37 +0000152 In this latter case check out the header file to see if the function is
Dr. Stephen Hensona5ab0531999-05-08 22:46:51 +0000153 defined in the header file.
Dr. Stephen Henson5c008791999-02-14 00:40:13 +0000154
Ralf S. Engelschall4109b971999-03-22 15:36:37 +0000155 If you get warnings in the code then the compilation will halt.
Dr. Stephen Henson5c008791999-02-14 00:40:13 +0000156
Ralf S. Engelschall4109b971999-03-22 15:36:37 +0000157 The default Makefile for Win32 halts whenever any warnings occur. Since VC++
158 has its own ideas about warnings which don't always match up to other
159 environments this can happen. The best fix is to edit the file with the
160 warning in and fix it. Alternatively you can turn off the halt on warnings by
161 editing the CFLAG line in the Makefile and deleting the /WX option.
Dr. Stephen Henson5c008791999-02-14 00:40:13 +0000162
Ralf S. Engelschall4109b971999-03-22 15:36:37 +0000163 You might get compilation errors. Again you will have to fix these or report
164 them.
Dr. Stephen Henson5c008791999-02-14 00:40:13 +0000165
Ralf S. Engelschall4109b971999-03-22 15:36:37 +0000166 One final comment about compiling applications linked to the OpenSSL library.
167 If you don't use the multithreaded DLL runtime library (/MD option) your
168 program will almost certainly crash: see the original SSLeay description
169 below for more details.
Dr. Stephen Henson5c008791999-02-14 00:40:13 +0000170
Dr. Stephen Henson5c008791999-02-14 00:40:13 +0000171--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ralf S. Engelschall4109b971999-03-22 15:36:37 +0000172The orignal Windows build instructions from SSLeay follow.
Dr. Stephen Hensona5ab0531999-05-08 22:46:51 +0000173Note: some of this may be out of date and no longer applicable. In particular
174the Crypto_malloc_init() comment appears to be wrong: you always need to use
175the same runtime library as the DLL itself.
Dr. Stephen Henson5c008791999-02-14 00:40:13 +0000176--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
177
Ralf S. Engelschalld02b48c1998-12-21 10:52:47 +0000178The Microsoft World.
179
180The good news, to build SSLeay for the Microsft World
181
182Windows 3.1 DLL's
183perl Configure VC-WIN16
184nmake -f ms\w31dll.mak
185
186Windows NT/95 DLL's
187perl Configure VC-WIN32
188nmake -f ms\ntdll.mak
189
190Now the bad news
191All builds were done using Microsofts Visual C++ 1.52c and [45].x.
192If you are a borland person, you are probably going to have to help me
193finish the stuff in util/pl/BC*pl
194
195All builds were made under Windows NT - this means long filenames, so
196you may have problems under Windows 3.1 but probably not under 95.
197
198Because file pointers don't work in DLL's under Windows 3.1 (well at
199least stdin/stdout don't and I don't like having to differentiate
200between these and other file pointers), I now use the BIO file-pointer
201module, which needs to be linked into your application. You can either
202use the memory buffer BIO for IO, or compile bss_file.c into your
203application, it is in the apps directory and is just a copy of
204crypto/buffer/bss_file.c with #define APPS_WIN16 added.
205I have not yet automated the makefile to automatically copy it into 'out'
206for a win 3.1 build....
207
208All callbacks passed into SSLeay for Windows 3.1 need to be of type
209_far _loadds.
210
211I don't support building with the pascal calling convention.
212
213The DLL and static builds are large memory model.
214
215To build static libraries for NT/95 or win 3.1
216
217perl util/mk1mf.pl VC-WIN32 > mf-stat.nt
218perl util/mk1mf.pl VC-WIN16 > mf-stat.w31
219for DLL's
220perl util/mk1mf.pl dll VC-WIN32 > mf-dll.nt
221perl util/mk1mf.pl dll VC-WIN16 > mf-dll.w31
222
223Again you will notice that if you dont have perl, you cannot do this.
224
225Now the next importaint issue. Running Configure!
226I have small assember code files for critical big number library operation
227in crypto/bn/asm. There is, asm code, object files and uuencode
228object files. They are
229x86nt32.asm - 32bit flat memory model assember - suitable Win32
230x86w16.asm - 16bit assember - used in the msdos build.
231x86w32.asm - 32bit assember, win 3.1 segments, used for win16 build.
232
233If you feel compelled to build the 16bit maths routines in the windows 3.1
234build,
235perl Configure VC-W31-16
236perl util/mk1mf.pl dll VC-W31-16 > mf-dll.w31
237
238If you hate assember and don't want anything to do with it,
239perl util/mk1mf.pl no-asm VC-WIN16 > mf-dll.w31
240will work for any of the makefile generations.
241
242There are more options to mk1mf.pl but these all leave the temporary
243files in 'tmp' and the output files in 'out' by default.
244
245The NT build is done for console mode.
246
247The Windows 3.1 version of SSLeay uses quickwin, the interface is ugly
248but it is better than nothing. If you want ugly, try doing anything
249that involves getting a password. I decided to be ugly instead of
250echoing characters. For Windows 3.1 I would just sugest using the
251msdos version of the ssleay application for command line work.
252The QuickWin build is primarily for testing.
253
254For both NT and Windows 3.1, I have not written the code so that
255s_client, s_server can take input from the keyboard. You can happily
256start applications up in separate windows, watch them handshake, and then sit
257there for-ever. I have not had the time to get this working, and I've
258been able to test things from a unix box to the NT box :-).
259Try running ssleay s_server on the windows box
260(with either -cert ../apps/server.pem -www)
261and run ssleay s_time from another window.
262This often stuffs up on Windows 3.1, but I'm not worried since this is
263probably a problem with my demo applications, not the libraries.
264
265After a build of one of the version of microsoft SSLeay,
266'cd ms' and then run 'test'. This should check everything out and
267even does a trial run of generating certificates.
268'test.bat' requires that perl be install, you be in the ms directory
269(not the test directory, thats for unix so stay out :-) and that the
270build output directory be ../out
271
272On a last note, you will probably get division by zero errors and
273stuff after a build. This is due to your own inability to follow
274instructions :-).
275
276The reasons for the problem is probably one of the following.
277
2781) You did not run Configure. This is critical for windows 3.1 when
279 using assember. The values in crypto/bn/bn.h must match the
280 ones requred for the assember code. (remember that if you
281 edit crypto/bn/bn.h by hand, it will be clobered the next time
282 you run Configure by the contents of crypto/bn/bn.org).
283 SSLeay version -o will list the compile options.
284 For VC-WIN32 you need bn(64,32) or bn(32,32)
285 For VC-W31-32/VC-WIN16 you need bn(32,32)
286 For VC-W31-16 you need bn(32,16) or bn(16,16)
287 For VC-MSDOS you need bn(32,16) or bn(16,16).
288
289 The first number will be 2 times bigger than the second if
290 BN_LLONG is defined in bn.h and the size of the second number
291 depends on the 'bits' defined at the start of bn.h. Have a
292 look, it's all reasonably clear.
293 If you want to start messing with 8 bit builds and things like
294 that, build without the assember by re-generating a makefile
295 via 'perl util/mk1mf.pl no-asm'.
2962) You tried to build under MS-DOS or Windows 3.1 using the /G3
297 option. Don't. It is buggy (thats why you just got that
298 error) and unless you want to work out which optimising flag
299 to turn off, I'm not going to help you :-). I also noticed
300 that code often ran slower when compiled with /G3.
3013) Under NT/95, malloc goes stupid. You are probably linking with
302 the wrong library, there are problems if you mix the threaded
303 and non-threaded libraries (due to the DLL being staticly
304 linked with one and the applicaion using another.
305
306Well hopefully thats most of the MS issues handled, see you in ssl-users :-).

309
310SSLeay 0.6.5
311For Windows 95/NT, add CRYPTO_malloc_init() to your program before any
312calls to the SSLeay libraries. This function will insert callbacks so that
313the SSLeay libraries will use the same malloc(), free() and realloc() as
314your application so 'problem 3)' mentioned above will go away.
315
316There is now DES assember for Windows NT/95. The file is
317crypto/des/asm/win32.asm and replaces crypto/des/des_enc.c in the build.
318
319There is also Blowfish assember for Windows NT/95. The file is
320crypto/bf/asm/win32.asm and replaces crypto/bf/bf_enc.c in the build.
