"Initial" means that unlike other platforms where you +get an SDK and a "swiss army" openssl application, on Macintosh you only +get one sample application which fetches a page over HTTPS(*) and dumps it +in a window. We don't even build the test applications so that we can't +guarantee that all algorithms are operational. + +Required software: + +- StuffIt Expander 5.5 or later, alternatively MacGzip and SUNtar; +- Scriptable Finder; +- CodeWarrior Pro 5; + +Installation procedure: + +- fetch the source at ftp://ftp.openssl.org/ (well, you probably already + did, huh?) +- unpack the .tar.gz file: + - if you have StuffIt Expander then just drag it over it; + - otherwise uncompress it with MacGzip and then unpack with SUNtar; +- locate MacOS folder in OpenSSL source tree and open it; +- unbinhex mklinks.as.hqx and OpenSSL.mcp.hqx if present (**), do it + "in-place", i.e. unpacked files should end-up in the very same folder; +- execute mklinks.as; +- open OpenSSL.mcp(***) and build 'GetHTTPS PPC' target(****); +- that's it for now; + +(*) URL is hardcoded into ./MacOS/GetHTTPS.src/GetHTTPS.cpp, lines 40 + to 42, change appropriately. +(**) If you use SUNtar, then it might have already unbinhexed the files + in question. +(***) The project file was saved with CW Pro 5.3. If you have an earlier + version and it refuses to open it, then download + http://www.openssl.org/~appro/OpenSSL.mcp.xml and import it + overwriting the original OpenSSL.mcp. +(****) Other targets are works in progress. If you feel like giving 'em a + shot, then you should know that OpenSSL* and Lib* targets are + supposed to be built with the GUSI, MacOS library which mimics + BSD sockets and some other POSIX APIs. The GUSI distribution is + expected to be found in the same directory as the openssl source tree, + i.e., in the parent directory to the one where this very file, + namely INSTALL.MacOS, resides. For more information about GUSI, see + http://www.iis.ee.ethz.ch/~neeri/macintosh/gusi-qa.html + +Finally some essential comments from our generous contributor:-) + +"I've gotten OpenSSL working on the Macintosh. It's probably a bit of a +hack, but it works for what I'm doing. If you don't like the way I've done +it, then feel free to change what I've done. I freely admit that I've done +some less-than-ideal things in my port, and if you don't like the way I've +done something, then feel free to change it-- I won't be offended! + +... I've tweaked "bss_sock.c" a little to call routines in a "MacSocket" +library I wrote. My MacSocket library is a wrapper around OpenTransport, +handling stuff like endpoint creation, reading, writing, etc. It is not +designed as a high-performance package such as you'd use in a webserver, +but is fine for lots of other applications. MacSocket also uses some other +code libraries I've written to deal with string manipulations and error +handling. Feel free to use these things in your own code, but give me +credit and/or send me free stuff in appreciation! :-) + +... + +If you have any questions, feel free to email me as the following: + +roy@centricsystems.ca + +-Roy Wood" + |
