Slight cleanup of the collection of READMEs, INSTALLs and NOTES
README is a fairly independent document, and so is INSTALL. NOTES are
merely addendums to INSTALL. Therefore , INSTALL.DJGPP and
README.PERL get renamed to NOTES.DJGPP and NOTES.PERL.

For help on which + files to download, see the DJGPP "ZIP PICKER" page at + "http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/zip-picker.html". You also need to have + the WATT-32 networking package installed before you try to compile + OpenSSL. This can be obtained from "http://www.watt-32.net/". + The Makefile assumes that the WATT-32 code is in the directory + specified by the environment variable WATT_ROOT. If you have watt-32 + in directory "watt32" under your main DJGPP directory, specify + WATT_ROOT="/dev/env/DJDIR/watt32". + + To compile OpenSSL, start your BASH shell, then configure for DJGPP by + running "./Configure" with appropriate arguments: + + ./Configure no-threads --prefix=/dev/env/DJDIR DJGPP + + And finally fire up "make". You may run out of DPMI selectors when + running in a DOS box under Windows. If so, just close the BASH + shell, go back to Windows, and restart BASH. Then run "make" again. + + RUN-TIME CAVEAT LECTOR + -------------- + + Quoting FAQ: + + "Cryptographic software needs a source of unpredictable data to work + correctly. Many open source operating systems provide a "randomness + device" (/dev/urandom or /dev/random) that serves this purpose." + + As of version 0.9.7f DJGPP port checks upon /dev/urandom$ for a 3rd + party "randomness" DOS driver. One such driver, NOISE.SYS, can be + obtained from "http://www.rahul.net/dkaufman/index.html". |
