| 9 | the Debug or Release setting (using "Solution Configuration" from |
| 10 | the "Standard" toolbar"), and build the projects. |

Tim Peters | 97c9640 | 2001-01-17 23:23:13 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 14 | 1) pythoncore (this builds the main Python DLL and library files, |
Tim Peters | befc97c | 2001-01-18 19:01:39 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 15 | python21.{dll, lib} in Release mode) |

Tim Peters | e8bcb25 | 2002-12-04 02:39:52 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 237 | You (probably) don't want the "engine" code. For example, get |

Mark Hammond | f229f9f | 2002-12-03 05:47:26 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 242 | Unpack into the "dist" directory, retaining the folder name from |
| 243 | the archive - for example, the latest stable OpenSSL will install as |
| 244 | dist/openssl-0.9.6g |
| 245 | |
| 246 | You can (theoretically) use any version of OpenSSL you like - the |
| 247 | build process will automatically select the latest version. |
| 248 | |
| 249 | You must also install ActivePerl from |
| 250 | http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/ |
Tim Peters | e8bcb25 | 2002-12-04 02:39:52 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 251 | as this is used by the OpenSSL build process. Complain to them <wink>. |

| 253 | The MSVC project simply invokes PCBuild/build_ssl.py to perform |
Tim Peters | e8bcb25 | 2002-12-04 02:39:52 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 254 | the build. This Python script locates and builds your OpenSSL |
Mark Hammond | f229f9f | 2002-12-03 05:47:26 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 255 | installation, then invokes a simple makefile to build the final .pyd. |

| 258 | |
Mark Hammond | f229f9f | 2002-12-03 05:47:26 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 259 | build_ssl.py attempts to catch the most common errors (such as not |
| 260 | being able to find OpenSSL sources, or not being able to find a Perl |
| 261 | that works with OpenSSL) and give a reasonable error message. |
| 262 | If you have a problem that doesn't seem to be handled correctly |
| 263 | (eg, you know you have ActivePerl but we can't find it), please take |
| 264 | a peek at build_ssl.py and suggest patches. Note that build_ssl.py |
| 265 | should be able to be run directly from the command-line. |
| 266 | |
Tim Peters | e8bcb25 | 2002-12-04 02:39:52 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 267 | build_ssl.py/MSVC isn't clever enough to clean OpenSSL - you must do |
| 268 | this by hand. |

| 271 | something like |

| 275 | |
Tim Peters | 21d77f5 | 2002-12-04 04:00:12 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 276 | then you're in trouble, and will probably also see these errors near |
Tim Peters | 6ee68d2 | 2002-12-04 03:16:37 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 277 | the end of the process: |
| 278 | |

| 284 | Stop. |
| 285 | |
| 286 | You need more environment space. Win9x only has room for 256 bytes |
| 287 | by default, and especially after installing ActivePerl (which fiddles |
| 288 | the PATH envar), you're likely to run out. KB Q230205 |
