Compiling TclCurl with SSL support
-To prevent patent trouble, the SSL enabled binaries don't support the idea, rc5 and mdc2
-algorithms, if you need them, and you are allowed to do so, you can compile them yourself.
+Since 1.0.0 openssl is easier to compile, you can find the instructions to it in
+the INSTALL.W32 file in the openssl tarball.
-
- - First of all you have to compile Openssl, you can get the lastest version
- at http://www.openssl.org, these instructions should work with version 0.9.8e
-
- - To compile it you are going to need Perl in your system, for whatever the reason
- I couldn't get it to work with the Perl that comes with Cygwin, so I had to
- download ActivePerl: http://www.activestate.com.
-
- - You will also need to download the MinGW compiler, the compiling scripts don't
- like the msys enviroment though.
-
- - The open a MS-DOS console in the openssl directory and make sure that both
- perl and mingw are in you path:
-
- c:\openssl-0.9.8e\> echo %PATH%
-
- if they aren't add them:
-
- c:\openssl-0.9.8e\> PATH=%PATH%;C:\Perl\bin;c:\MinGW\bin
-
- change the paths if you need to.
-
- - Only thing left is to type in the MS-DOS console:
-
- c:\openssl-0.9.8e\> ms\mingw32.bat
-
- and hope for the best.
-
- - After it compiles you have to copy some files around:
-
- - libcryto.a, libeay32.a, libssl.a and libssl32.a from
- openssl-0.9.8e\out to c:\msys\local\lib.
-
- - libeay32.dll and libssl32.dll from openssl-0.9.8e to
- c:\msys\local\lib and c:\msys\local\bin.
-
- - The contents of openssl-0.9.8e\outinc to c:\msys\local\include.
-
- - Now copy the 'tclcurl.mk' file from TclCurl/packages/windows to
- the directory in which you have TclCurl, Tcl, cURL, TclCurl and OpenSSL.
+You can get the cacert.pem at http://curl.haxx.se/ca/, you need to put in the
+directory from which you are going to compile
- $ make -f tclcurl.mk tclcurl-ssl
