 INSTALLATION ON WINDOWS PLATFORMS
 ---------------------------------

 [Instructions for building for Windows CE can be found in INSTALL.WCE]

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

 - you need Perl.  Unless you will build on Cygwin, you will
   need ActiveState Perl, available from http://www.activestate.com/ActivePerl.

 - one of the following C compilers:

  * Visual C++
  * GNU C (Cygwin or MinGW)

- Netwide Assembler, a.k.a. NASM, available from http://www.nasm.us,
  is required if you intend to utilize assembler modules. Note that NASM
  is now the only supported assembler. Without this the "Configure" step below
  must be done with the "no-asm" option. The Microsoft provided assembler is NOT
  supported.

 Visual C++
 ----------

 If you want to compile in the assembly language routines with Visual
 C++, then you will need the Netwide Assembler binary, nasmw.exe or nasm.exe, to
 be available on your %PATH%.

 Firstly you should run Configure and generate the Makefiles. If you don't want
 the assembly language files then add the "no-asm" option (without quotes) to
 the Configure lines below.

 For Win32:

 > perl Configure VC-WIN32 --prefix=c:\some\openssl\dir
 > ms\do_nasm

 Note: replace the last line above with the following if not using the assembly
 language files:

 > ms\do_ms

 For Win64/x64:

 > perl Configure VC-WIN64A --prefix=c:\some\openssl\dir
 > ms\do_win64a

 For Win64/IA64:

 > perl Configure VC-WIN64I --prefix=c:\some\openssl\dir
 > ms\do_win64i

 Where the prefix argument specifies where OpenSSL will be installed to.

 Then from the VC++ environment at a prompt do the following. Note, your %PATH%
 and other environment variables should be set up for 32-bit or 64-bit
 development as appropriate.

 > nmake -f ms\ntdll.mak

 If all is well it should compile and you will have some DLLs and
 executables in out32dll. If you want to try the tests then do:

 > nmake -f ms\ntdll.mak test

 To install OpenSSL to the specified location do:

 > nmake -f ms\ntdll.mak install

 Tweaks:

 There are various changes you can make to the Windows compile
 environment. By default the library is not compiled with debugging
 symbols. If you add --debug to the Configure lines above then debugging symbols
 will be compiled in.

 By default in 1.1.0 OpenSSL will compile builtin ENGINES into separate shared
 libraries. If you specify the "enable-static-engine" option on the command line
 to Configure the shared library build (ms\ntdll.mak) will compile the engines
 into libeay32.dll instead.

 You can also build a static version of the library using the Makefile
 ms\nt.mak

 GNU C (Cygwin)
 --------------

 Cygwin implements a Posix/Unix runtime system (cygwin1.dll) on top of the
 Windows subsystem and provides a bash shell and GNU tools environment.
 Consequently, a make of OpenSSL with Cygwin is virtually identical to the
 Unix procedure. It is also possible to create Windows binaries that only
 use the Microsoft C runtime system (msvcrt.dll or crtdll.dll) using
 MinGW. MinGW can be used in the Cygwin development environment or in a
 standalone setup as described in the following section.

 To build OpenSSL using Cygwin:

 * Install Cygwin (see http://cygwin.com/)

 * Install Perl and ensure it is in the path. Both Cygwin perl
   (5.6.1-2 or newer) and ActivePerl work.

 * Run the Cygwin bash shell

 * $ tar zxvf openssl-x.x.x.tar.gz
   $ cd openssl-x.x.x

   To build the Cygwin version of OpenSSL:

   $ ./config
   [...]
   $ make
   [...]
   $ make test
   $ make install

   This will create a default install in /usr/local/ssl.

   To build the MinGW version (native Windows) in Cygwin:

   $ ./Configure mingw
   [...]
   $ make
   [...]
   $ make test
   $ make install

 Cygwin Notes:

 "make test" and normal file operations may fail in directories
 mounted as text (i.e. mount -t c:\somewhere /home) due to Cygwin
 stripping of carriage returns. To avoid this ensure that a binary
 mount is used, e.g. mount -b c:\somewhere /home.

 GNU C (MinGW/MSYS)
 -------------

 * Compiler and shell environment installation:

   MinGW and MSYS are available from http://www.mingw.org/, both are
   required. Run the installers and do whatever magic they say it takes
   to start MSYS bash shell with GNU tools on its PATH.

 * Compile OpenSSL:

   $ ./config
   [...]
   $ make
   [...]
   $ make test

   This will create the library and binaries in root source directory
   and openssl.exe application in apps directory.

   It is also possible to cross-compile it on Linux by configuring
   with './Configure --cross-compile-prefix=i386-mingw32- mingw ...'. Other
   possible targets include x86_64-w64-mingw32- and i686-w64-mingw32-.

   libcrypto.a and libssl.a are the static libraries. To use the DLLs,
   link with libeay32.a and libssl32.a instead.

 Linking your application
 ------------------------

 If you link with static OpenSSL libraries [those built with ms/nt.mak],
 then you're expected to additionally link your application with
 WS2_32.LIB, ADVAPI32.LIB, GDI32.LIB and USER32.LIB. Those developing
 non-interactive service applications might feel concerned about linking
 with the latter two, as they are justly associated with interactive
 desktop, which is not available to service processes. The toolkit is
 designed to detect in which context it's currently executed, GUI,
 console app or service, and act accordingly, namely whether or not to
 actually make GUI calls. Additionally those who wish to
 /DELAYLOAD:GDI32.DLL and /DELAYLOAD:USER32.DLL and actually keep them
 off service process should consider implementing and exporting from
 .exe image in question own _OPENSSL_isservice not relying on USER32.DLL.
 E.g., on Windows Vista and later you could:

	__declspec(dllexport) __cdecl BOOL _OPENSSL_isservice(void)
	{   DWORD sess;
	    if (ProcessIdToSessionId(GetCurrentProcessId(),&sess))
	        return sess==0;
	    return FALSE;
	}

 If you link with OpenSSL .DLLs, then you're expected to include into
 your application code small "shim" snippet, which provides glue between
 OpenSSL BIO layer and your compiler run-time. See the OPENSSL_Applink
 manual page for further details.
