INSTALLATION ON THE DOS PLATFORM WITH DJGPP
4
-------------------------------------------
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.
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 BC also be installed.
16
All of these can be obtained from the usual DJGPP mirror sites or
17
directly at "http://www.delorie.com/pub/djgpp". For help on which
18
files to download, see the DJGPP "ZIP PICKER" page at
19
"http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/zip-picker.html". You also need to have
20
the WATT-32 networking package installed before you try to compile
21
OpenSSL. This can be obtained from "http://www.bgnett.no/~giva/".
22
The Makefile assumes that the WATT-32 code is in the directory
23
specified by the environment variable WATT_ROOT. If you have watt-32
24
in directory "watt32" under your main DJGPP directory, specify
25
WATT_ROOT="/dev/env/DJDIR/watt32".
27
To compile OpenSSL, start your BASH shell, then configure for DJGPP by
28
running "./Configure" with appropriate arguments:
30
./Configure no-threads --prefix=/dev/env/DJDIR DJGPP
32
And finally fire up "make". You may run out of DPMI selectors when
33
running in a DOS box under Windows. If so, just close the BASH
34
shell, go back to Windows, and restart BASH. Then run "make" again.

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