This means that + VAX C is not and will not be supported. + + We have only tested with DEC C (a.k.a HP VMS C / VSI C) and require + version 7.1 or later. Compiling with a different ANSI C compiler may + require some work. + + Please avoid using C RTL feature logical names DECC$* when building + and testing OpenSSL. Most of all, they can be disruptive when + running the tests, as they affect the Perl interpreter. + + + About ODS-5 directory names and Perl + ------------------------------------ + + It seems that the perl function canonpath() in the File::Spec module + doesn't treat file specifications where the last directory name + contains periods very well. Unfortunately, some versions of VMS tar + will keep the periods in the OpenSSL source directory instead of + converting them to underscore, thereby leaving your source in + something like [.openssl-1^.1^.0]. This will lead to issues when + configuring and building OpenSSL. + + We have no replacement for Perl's canonpath(), so the best workaround + for now is to rename the OpenSSL source directory, as follows (please + adjust for the actual source directory name you have): + + $ rename openssl-1^.1^.0.DIR openssl-1_1_0.DIR + + + About MMS and DCL + ----------------- + + MMS has certain limitations when it comes to line length, and DCL has + certain limitations when it comes to total command length. We do + what we can to mitigate, but there is the possibility that it's not + enough. Should you run into issues, a very simple solution is to set + yourself up a few logical names for the directory trees you're going + to use. + + + Checking the distribution + ------------------------- + + There have been reports of places where the distribution didn't quite + get through, for example if you've copied the tree from a NFS-mounted + Unix mount point. + + The easiest way to check if everything got through as it should is to + check for one of the following files: + + [.crypto]opensslconf^.h.in + + The best way to get a correct distribution is to download the gzipped + tar file from ftp://ftp.openssl.org/source/, use GZIP -d to uncompress + it and VMSTAR to unpack the resulting tar file. + + Gzip and VMSTAR are available here: + + http://antinode.info/dec/index.html#Software + + Should you need it, you can find UnZip for VMS here: + + http://www.info-zip.org/UnZip.html -- cgit v1.2.3
