3 | INSTALLATION ON THE DOS PLATFORM WITH DJGPP | |
4 | ------------------------------------------- | |
5 | ||
6 | OpenSSL has been ported to DJGPP, a Unix look-alike 32-bit run-time | |
7 | environment for 16-bit DOS, but only with long filename support. | |
8 | If you wish to compile on native DOS with 8+3 filenames, you will | |
9 | have to tweak the installation yourself, including renaming files | |
10 | with illegal or duplicate names. | |
11 | ||
12 | You should have a full DJGPP environment installed, including the | |
13 | latest versions of DJGPP, GCC, BINUTILS, BASH, etc. This package | |
14 | requires that PERL and the PERL module Text::Template also be | |
15 | installed (see NOTES.PERL). | |
16 | ||
17 | All of these can be obtained from the usual DJGPP mirror sites or | |
18 | directly at "http://www.delorie.com/pub/djgpp". For help on which | |
19 | files to download, see the DJGPP "ZIP PICKER" page at | |
20 | "http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/zip-picker.html". You also need to have | |
21 | the WATT-32 networking package installed before you try to compile | |
22 | OpenSSL. This can be obtained from "http://www.watt-32.net/". | |
23 | The Makefile assumes that the WATT-32 code is in the directory | |
24 | specified by the environment variable WATT_ROOT. If you have watt-32 | |
25 | in directory "watt32" under your main DJGPP directory, specify | |
26 | WATT_ROOT="/dev/env/DJDIR/watt32". | |
27 | ||
28 | To compile OpenSSL, start your BASH shell, then configure for DJGPP by | |
29 | running "./Configure" with appropriate arguments: | |
30 | ||
31 | ./Configure no-threads --prefix=/dev/env/DJDIR DJGPP | |
32 | ||
33 | And finally fire up "make". You may run out of DPMI selectors when | |
34 | running in a DOS box under Windows. If so, just close the BASH | |
35 | shell, go back to Windows, and restart BASH. Then run "make" again. | |

40 | Quoting FAQ: | |
41 | ||
42 | "Cryptographic software needs a source of unpredictable data to work | |
43 | correctly. Many open source operating systems provide a "randomness | |
44 | device" (/dev/urandom or /dev/random) that serves this purpose." | |
45 | ||
46 | As of version 0.9.7f DJGPP port checks upon /dev/urandom$ for a 3rd | |
47 | party "randomness" DOS driver. One such driver, NOISE.SYS, can be | |
48 | obtained from "http://www.rahul.net/dkaufman/index.html". |
