2 INSTALLATION ON WINDOWS PLATFORMS

7a77bd9d 7 Here are a few comments about building OpenSSL for Windows environments.

9 - you need Perl. Unless you will build on Cygwin, you will need
10 ActiveState Perl, available from http://www.activestate.com/ActivePerl.
11 You also need the perl module Text::Template, available on CPAN.
12 Please read README.PERL for more information.

14 - one of the following C compilers:
26abc8f0
RL
15
16 * Visual C++
26abc8f0
RL
17 * GNU C (Cygwin or MinGW)
18
7a77bd9d 19- Netwide Assembler, a.k.a. NASM, available from http://www.nasm.us,
39c63e16 20 is required if you intend to utilize assembler modules. Note that NASM
7a77bd9d
MC
21 is now the only supported assembler. Without this the "Configure" step below
22 must be done with the "no-asm" option. The Microsoft provided assembler is NOT
23 supported.
26abc8f0
RL
24
25 Visual C++
26 ----------
27
3189772e 28 If you want to compile in the assembly language routines with Visual
7a77bd9d
MC
29 C++, then you will need the Netwide Assembler binary, nasmw.exe or nasm.exe, to
30 be available on your %PATH%.
26abc8f0 31
7a77bd9d
MC
32 Firstly you should run Configure and generate the Makefiles. If you don't want
33 the assembly language files then add the "no-asm" option (without quotes) to
34 the Configure lines below.
26abc8f0 35
7a77bd9d 36 For Win32:
df8dae1d 37
7a77bd9d
MC
38 > perl Configure VC-WIN32 --prefix=c:\some\openssl\dir
39 > ms\do_nasm
26abc8f0 40
7a77bd9d 41 Note: replace the last line above with the following if not using the assembly
3189772e 42 language files:
26abc8f0 43
7a77bd9d 44 > ms\do_ms
26abc8f0 45
7a77bd9d 46 For Win64/x64:
26abc8f0 47
7a77bd9d
MC
48 > perl Configure VC-WIN64A --prefix=c:\some\openssl\dir
49 > ms\do_win64a
26abc8f0 50
7a77bd9d 51 For Win64/IA64:
26abc8f0 52
7a77bd9d
MC
53 > perl Configure VC-WIN64I --prefix=c:\some\openssl\dir
54 > ms\do_win64i
26abc8f0 55
7a77bd9d
MC
56 Where the prefix argument specifies where OpenSSL will be installed to.
57
58 Then from the VC++ environment at a prompt do the following. Note, your %PATH%
59 and other environment variables should be set up for 32-bit or 64-bit
60 development as appropriate.
26abc8f0
RL
61
62 > nmake -f ms\ntdll.mak
63
3189772e
AP
64 If all is well it should compile and you will have some DLLs and
65 executables in out32dll. If you want to try the tests then do:
df8dae1d 66
7a77bd9d 67 > nmake -f ms\ntdll.mak test
df8dae1d 68
3189772e 69 To install OpenSSL to the specified location do:
df8dae1d 70
3189772e 71 > nmake -f ms\ntdll.mak install
26abc8f0
RL
72
73 Tweaks:
74
7a77bd9d 75 There are various changes you can make to the Windows compile
3189772e 76 environment. By default the library is not compiled with debugging
7a77bd9d
MC
77 symbols. If you add --debug to the Configure lines above then debugging symbols
78 will be compiled in.
26abc8f0 79
7a77bd9d
MC
80 By default in 1.1.0 OpenSSL will compile builtin ENGINES into separate shared
81 libraries. If you specify the "enable-static-engine" option on the command line
82 to Configure the shared library build (ms\ntdll.mak) will compile the engines
83 into libeay32.dll instead.
26abc8f0
RL
84
85 You can also build a static version of the library using the Makefile
86 ms\nt.mak
87
26abc8f0

88 GNU C (Cygwin)
89 --------------
90
7a77bd9d
MC
91 Cygwin implements a Posix/Unix runtime system (cygwin1.dll) on top of the
92 Windows subsystem and provides a bash shell and GNU tools environment.
93 Consequently, a make of OpenSSL with Cygwin is virtually identical to the
94 Unix procedure. It is also possible to create Windows binaries that only
3189772e
AP
95 use the Microsoft C runtime system (msvcrt.dll or crtdll.dll) using
96 MinGW. MinGW can be used in the Cygwin development environment or in a
97 standalone setup as described in the following section.
26abc8f0
RL
98
99 To build OpenSSL using Cygwin:
100
101 * Install Cygwin (see http://cygwin.com/)
102
103 * Install Perl and ensure it is in the path. Both Cygwin perl
104 (5.6.1-2 or newer) and ActivePerl work.
105
106 * Run the Cygwin bash shell
107
108 * $ tar zxvf openssl-x.x.x.tar.gz
109 $ cd openssl-x.x.x
110
111 To build the Cygwin version of OpenSSL:
112
113 $ ./config
114 [...]
115 $ make
116 [...]
117 $ make test
118 $ make install
119
120 This will create a default install in /usr/local/ssl.
121
122 To build the MinGW version (native Windows) in Cygwin:
123
124 $ ./Configure mingw
125 [...]
126 $ make
127 [...]
128 $ make test
129 $ make install
130
131 Cygwin Notes:
132
133 "make test" and normal file operations may fail in directories
134 mounted as text (i.e. mount -t c:\somewhere /home) due to Cygwin
135 stripping of carriage returns. To avoid this ensure that a binary
136 mount is used, e.g. mount -b c:\somewhere /home.
137
3189772e 138 GNU C (MinGW/MSYS)
26abc8f0
RL
139 -------------
140
3189772e 141 * Compiler and shell environment installation:
26abc8f0 142
3189772e
AP
143 MinGW and MSYS are available from http://www.mingw.org/, both are
144 required. Run the installers and do whatever magic they say it takes
145 to start MSYS bash shell with GNU tools on its PATH.
26abc8f0
RL
146
147 * Compile OpenSSL:
148
3189772e
AP
149 $ ./config
150 [...]
151 $ make
152 [...]
153 $ make test
154
155 This will create the library and binaries in root source directory
156 and openssl.exe application in apps directory.
26abc8f0 157
3189772e 158 It is also possible to cross-compile it on Linux by configuring
7a77bd9d
MC
159 with './Configure --cross-compile-prefix=i386-mingw32- mingw ...'. Other
160 possible targets include x86_64-w64-mingw32- and i686-w64-mingw32-.
26abc8f0
RL
161
162 libcrypto.a and libssl.a are the static libraries. To use the DLLs,
163 link with libeay32.a and libssl32.a instead.

165 Linking your application
166 ------------------------
167
168 If you link with static OpenSSL libraries [those built with ms/nt.mak],
169 then you're expected to additionally link your application with
3189772e 170 WS2_32.LIB, ADVAPI32.LIB, GDI32.LIB and USER32.LIB. Those developing
b3836ed3 171 non-interactive service applications might feel concerned about linking
3189772e
AP
172 with the latter two, as they are justly associated with interactive
173 desktop, which is not available to service processes. The toolkit is
174 designed to detect in which context it's currently executed, GUI,
175 console app or service, and act accordingly, namely whether or not to
653215a1
AP
176 actually make GUI calls. Additionally those who wish to
177 /DELAYLOAD:GDI32.DLL and /DELAYLOAD:USER32.DLL and actually keep them
178 off service process should consider implementing and exporting from
179 .exe image in question own _OPENSSL_isservice not relying on USER32.DLL.
180 E.g., on Windows Vista and later you could:
181
182 __declspec(dllexport) __cdecl BOOL _OPENSSL_isservice(void)
183 { DWORD sess;
184 if (ProcessIdToSessionId(GetCurrentProcessId(),&sess))
185 return sess==0;
186 return FALSE;
187 }
b3836ed3
AP
188
189 If you link with OpenSSL .DLLs, then you're expected to include into
190 your application code small "shim" snippet, which provides glue between
7a77bd9d
MC
191 OpenSSL BIO layer and your compiler run-time. See the OPENSSL_Applink
192 manual page for further details.
