2ec077d8 RE |
48 | o The Makefile hierarchy and build mechanism is still not a round thing: |
49 | ||
50 | 1. The config vs. Configure scripts | |
51 | It's the same nasty situation as for Apache with APACI vs. | |
52 | src/Configure. It confuses. | |
53 | Suggestion: Merge Configure and config into a single configure | |
54 | script with a Autoconf style interface ;-) and remove | |
55 | Configure and config. Or even let us use GNU Autoconf | |
56 | itself. Then we can avoid a lot of those platform checks | |
57 | which are currently in Configure. | |
58 | ||
a6f20a1e RE |
59 | o Support for Shared Libraries has to be added at least |
60 | for the major Unix platforms. The details we can rip from the stuff | |
61 | Ralf has done for the Apache src/Configure script. Ben wants the | |
62 | solution to be really simple. | |
63 | ||
64 | Status: Ralf will look how we can easily incorporate the | |
65 | compiler PIC and linker DSO flags from Apache | |
66 | into the OpenSSL Configure script. | |
67 | ||

68 | Ulf: +1 for using GNU autoconf and libtool (but not automake, |
69 | which apparently is not flexible enough to generate | |
70 | libcrypto) | |

a6f20a1e RE |
73 | o The perl/ stuff needs a major overhaul. Currently it's |
74 | totally obsolete. Either we clean it up and enhance it to be up-to-date | |
75 | with the C code or we also could replace it with the really nice | |
76 | Net::SSLeay package we can find under | |
77 | http://www.neuronio.pt/SSLeay.pm.html. Ralf uses this package for a | |
78 | longer time and it works fine and is a nice Perl module. Best would be | |
79 | to convince the author to work for the OpenSSL project and create a | |
80 | Net::OpenSSL or Crypt::OpenSSL package out of it and maintains it for | |
81 | us. | |
82 | ||
83 | Status: Ralf thinks we should both contact the author of Net::SSLeay | |
84 | and look how much effort it is to bring Eric's perl/ stuff up | |
85 | to date. | |
