| 2 | NOTES FOR THE OPENVMS PLATFORM |
| 3 | ============================== |

| 5 | Requirement details |
| 6 | ------------------- |
| 7 | |
| Richard Levitte | b54e35f | 2016-03-23 19:27:08 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 8 | In addition to the requirements and instructions listed in INSTALL, |
| 9 | this are required as well: |
| Richard Levitte | 2acd8ec | 2016-03-08 00:04:27 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 10 | |
| 11 | * At least ODS-5 disk organization for source and build. |
| 12 | Installation can be done on any existing disk organization. |

| 15 | About ANSI C compiler |
| 16 | --------------------- |
| 17 | |
| Richard Levitte | 7793e17 | 2016-03-25 08:27:35 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 18 | An ANSI C compiled is needed among other things. This means that |
| 19 | VAX C is not and will not be supported. |
| Richard Levitte | 2acd8ec | 2016-03-08 00:04:27 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 20 | |
| Richard Levitte | 368058d | 2016-04-01 12:36:51 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 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 |
| 23 | require some work. |
| Richard Levitte | 7793e17 | 2016-03-25 08:27:35 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 24 | |
| 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. |

| 29 | |
| Richard Levitte | b54e35f | 2016-03-23 19:27:08 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 30 | About MMS and DCL |
| 31 | ----------------- |
| 32 | |
| 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 |
| 38 | to use. |

| Richard Levitte | 2acd8ec | 2016-03-08 00:04:27 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 41 | Checking the distribution |
| 42 | ------------------------- |
| 43 | |
| 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 |
| 46 | Unix mount point. |
| 47 | |
| 48 | The easiest way to check if everything got through as it should is to |
| 49 | check for one of the following files: |
| 50 | |
| 51 | [.crypto]opensslconf^.h.in |
| 52 | |
| 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. |
| 56 | |
| 57 | Gzip and VMSTAR are available here: |
