How to build OpenSSL for Windows with MingW and MSYS

Eason Wu — Wed, 22 Sep 2010 16:21:00 GMT

Today I need to build a static openssl library for Windows.

The compiling environment is MingW/MSYS/gcc 4.4.1/perl

It turns out a few tweaks have to be made to compile from the latest OpenSSL 0.9.8m source package:

Step 1: Setup the working environment. Perl is needed to configure the make file, and you can download a perl 5 package from ActiveState. Please ensure all of the MingW/bin, MSYS/bin and Perl binaries folder are in your current PATH variable.

[make]
The "make" version does matter for the compiling, you need the Unix-style make, unfortunately in my machine there are multiple versions of "make" (Borland Delphi7 & BDS2010) which cause fatal conflicts so I have to disable them by simply renaming the Borland / BDS2010 folder name.

[sed]
Please ensure the sed utility is already in your PATH folder, if not it can be downloaded from MSYS/MINGW website.

Unzip the tar ball with 7-zip, launch a DOS box and go to the folder where the source is extracted,

Step 2: Fix Configure script

Open Configure script with text editor, find line

$IsMK1MF=1 if ($target eq "mingw" && $^O ne "cygwin" && !is_msys());

and comment it out (or delete altogether).

Step 3: Disable export_var_as_fn

In Configure script, find line:

"mingw", "gcc:-mno-cygwin -DL_ENDIAN -fomit-frame-pointer -O3 -march=i486 -Wall -D_WIN32_WINNT=0x333:::MINGW32:-lwsock32 -lgdi32:BN_LLONG ${x86_gcc_des} ${x86_gcc_opts} EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN:${x86_coff_asm}:win32:cygwin-shared:-D_WINDLL -DOPENSSL_USE_APPLINK:-mno-cygwin -shared:.dll.a",

Remove the EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN macro so we get:

"mingw", "gcc:-mno-cygwin -DL_ENDIAN -fomit-frame-pointer -O3 -march=i486 -Wall -D_WIN32_WINNT=0x333:::MINGW32:-lwsock32 -lgdi32:BN_LLONG ${x86_gcc_des} ${x86_gcc_opts} :${x86_coff_asm}:win32:cygwin-shared:-D_WINDLL -DOPENSSL_USE_APPLINK:-mno-cygwin -shared:.dll.a",

The reason to do it is that (1) to build static library we do not need exporting global variables as functions; (2) the current OpenSSL source code has a compiling bug and cannot be easily fixed without lots of source code change:

e_os2.h:

#ifdef OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION

# define OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(type,name)                 \
extern type _hide_##name;                     \
type *_shadow_##name(void) { return &_hide_##name; }         \
static type _hide_##name

In the source code it is used in two formats:

(use 1)

OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int, check_key); //check_key not initialized.

(use 2)

OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int, check_key) = 1; //check_key is 1 by default.

Unfortunately the macro cannot compile in gcc 4.4.1 (also I guess including a lot of other C compilers) because it first declare the _hide_name as external and then re-declare it as static scope.

A simple fix is :

# define OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(type,name)                 \
type *_shadow_##name(void) {static type _hide_##name; return &_hide_##name; }

# define OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL_INIT(type,name, val)                 \
type *_shadow_##name(void) {static type _hide_##name = (val); return &_hide_##name; }

Step 4: Fix the zero-length test cases

Go to $(openssl)/test, dir *.c, you might find several test c sources with zero length! It is because that the original openssl tar ball is created in real UNIX and those zero-length files are actually softlinks to a file called dummytest.c. when unzipping in Windows platform 7-Zip (and other unzip utilities you are using) might not be able to cope with soft-link correctly thus just leaves those empty source files.

Fortunately these files are not many and can be fixed manually as following:

rm xx.c; ln -s dummytest.c xx.c

Step 5: Configure

Run the following command :

perl Configure mingw

If everything works fine you should get makefile configured for MingW target.

Step 6: Make

Just run make to begin the building process:

make

Hopefully you will get the following after several minutes:

$(openssl)/libssl.a
$(openssl)/libcrypto.a
$(openssl)/apps/openssl.exe

also all of the test cases are run automatically to verify everything works as expected, or you can run the test with command : make test

The libssl.a and libcrypto.a is just what I need to embed the openssl features in a project ;-)

Wish the above memo can help others someday.

转:WebShpere MQ 配置与测试

Eason Wu — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 07:30:00 GMT

在“WebSphere

MQ程序设计初探”一文中，讨论了从MQ队列管理器的本地队列中放置和读出消息的程序，本文主要通过两台机器，搭建 MQ消息传输的环境，并编写测试程序进行测试。
第一、准备工作
准备2台Win2000环境（XP也可），通过以太网连通。
机器A：代码为00000000，IP地址为：10.1.1.1
机器B：代码为88888888，IP地址为：10.1.1.2
安装MQ 5.3

第二、创建MQ对象
A机器上：
1、打开“WebSphere MQ资源管理器”，新建队列管理器，名称为QM_00000000，其余采用默认设置;
2、在QM_00000000队列管理器中创建本地队列，名称为LQ_00000000;
3、创建传输队列，名称为XQ_88888888（新建时选择“本地队列”，将“用法”设置为“传输”）;
4、创建远程队列定义，名称为RQ_88888888，指定远程队列名称为LQ_88888888，远程队列管理器名称为QM_88888888，传输队列名称为XQ_88888888;
5、创建发送方通道，名称为00000000.88888888，传输协议为TCP/IP，连接名称为10.1.1.2(1414)，传输队列为 XQ_88888888;
6、创建接受方通道，名称为88888888.00000000，采用默认设置；
7、创建服务器连接通道，名称为DC.SVRCONN，采用默认设置（该通道主要给后面的测试程序使用）。
B机器和A机器上的操作一样，只是命名不同，如下：
1、打开“WebSphere MQ资源管理器”，新建队列管理器，名称为QM_88888888，其余采用默认设置;
2、在QM_88888888队列管理器中创建本地队列，名称为LQ_88888888;
3、创建传输队列，名称为XQ_00000000（新建时选择“本地队列”，将“用法”设置为“传输”）;
4、创建远程队列定义，名称为RQ_00000000，指定远程队列名称为LQ_00000000，远程队列管理器名称为QM_00000000，传输队列名称为XQ_00000000;
5、创建发送方通道，名称为88888888.00000000，传输协议为TCP/IP，连接名称为10.1.1.1(1414)，传输队列为 XQ_00000000;
6、创建接受方通道，名称为00000000.88888888，采用默认设置；
7、创建服务器连接通道，名称为DC.SVRCONN，采用默认设置。

第三、消息测试
在A、B机器上分别启动其发送方通道，正常情况通道状态应为“正在运行”。
通过如下测试程序进行测试，文件名为：MQTest.java，在机器A上进行运行（如在B上运行请读者自行适当修改）。
