  19  Requirements
  20  ------------
  21
  22  To build and install OpenSSL, you will need:
  23
  24   * Perl 5 with core modules (please read README.PERL)
  25   * The perl module Text::Template (please read README.PERL)
  26   * DEC C or some other ANSI C compiler.  VAX C is *not* supported.
  27     [Note: OpenSSL has only been tested with DEC C.  Compiling with
  28      a different ANSI C compiler may require some work]

  30  Checking the distribution
  31  -------------------------
  32
  33  There have been reports of places where the distribution didn't quite
  34  get through, for example if you've copied the tree from a NFS-mounted
  35  Unix mount point.
  36
  37  The easiest way to check if everything got through as it should is to
  38  check for one of the following files:
  39
  40   [.crypto]opensslconf^.h.in
  41
  42  The best way to get a correct distribution is to download the gzipped
  43  tar file from ftp://ftp.openssl.org/source/, use GUNZIP to uncompress
  44  it and use VMSTAR to unpack the resulting tar file.
  45
  46  GUNZIP is available {FIXME: where is it available?}
  47
  48  VMSTAR is available {FIXME: where is it available?}

  51  Quick start
  52  -----------
  53
  54  If you want to just get on with it, do this:
  55
  56   $ @config
  57   $ mms
  58   $ mms test
  59   $ mmm install
  60
  61  This will buidl and install OpenSSL in the default location, which is
  62  SYS$COMMON:[OPENSSL-'VERSION'].  If you want it to be anywhere else,
  63  run config.com like this:
  64
  65   $ @config --prefix=PROGRAM:[OPENSSL]
