This file. 139 140 report_openssl_version.c 141 Program to check that the openssl version is new 142 enough for building a shared libcurl image. 143 144 setup_gnv_curl_build.com 145 This procedure sets up symbols and logical names 146 for a GNV build environment and also copies some 147 helper files. 148 149 stage_curl_install.com This procedure sets up new_gnu: directory tree to 150 for testing the install and building the PCSI kit. 151 It takes a "remove" option to remove all the staged 152 files. 153 154 vms_eco_level.h This sets the ECO level for the PCSI kit name. 155 156 157 How to Build: 158 159 The GNV based build and the DCL based build procedures are not compatible 160 and you must make sure that none of the build files are present before 161 running a different type of build. Use the "REALCLEAN" option for 162 BUILD_VMS.COM and the "REALCLEAN" option for clean_gnv_curl.com. 163 164 The (brute-force) DCL based builder is [.packages.vms]build_vms.com. 165 Comments in this procedure describe various optional parameters which 166 enable or disable optional program features, or which control the build 167 in other ways. Product files (.EXE, .H, .LIS, .MAP, .OBJ, .OLB, ...) 168 should be produced in an architecture-specific subdirectory under this 169 directory ([.ALPHA], [.IA64], [.VAX]). 170 171 The file curl_gnv_build_steps.txt contains information on buildling using 172 the GNV tool kit, building a shared libcurl, and producting a PCSI kit for 173 distribution. The curl_gnv_build_steps.text is included in the release 174 notes file of the PCSI kit. 175 176 The building with 64 bit pointers does not currently work. 177 178 The build procedure will detect if HP OpenSSL, LDAP, and Kerberos are 179 installed and default to building with them. 180 181 The build procedure will also detect if a compatible ZLIB shared image 182 is installed from a PCSI kit and default to using it. 183 184 Example build commands: 185 186 @ [.packages.vms]build_vms.com CLEAN 187 @ [.packages.vms]build_vms.com LARGE LDAP 188 submit /noprint [.packages.vms]build_vms.com /param = (LARGE, LDAP) 189 190 The build_vms.com procedure does not build the shared image file or the PCSI 191 kit. If you have built a curl with ZLIB and HPSSL support as well as if 192 LDAP and Kerberos installed, you can use the GNV_LINK_CURL.COM file. 193 194 The GNV_LINK_CURL.COM contains information on how to link and run with a newer 195 version of HP SSL than what may be install on an Alpha or IA64 based system. 196 197 To build the PCSI kit, follow the the instructions in the file 198 curl_gnv_build_steps.txt. 199 200 Other Notes: 201 202 This release fixes known bugs #22, and #57 in the [curl.docs]known_bugs. 203 file. 204 205 The libcurl formdata.c module and Curl tools post form now have some 206 understanding of VMS file types. Files will be posted in STREAM_LF format. 207 208 The Curl tool now has some understanding of VMS file types and will upload the 209 files in STREAM_LF fomat. 210 211 When CURL is uploading a VARIABLE format VMS file, it is less efficient as in 212 order to get the file size, it will first read the entire file once, and then 213 read the file again for the actual upload. 214 215 The Curl tool will now always download files into STREAM_LF format. Even if a 216 file by that name with a different format already exists. This is needed to 217 allow interrupted downloads to be continued. 218 219 220 The libcurl file module still does not understand VMS file types and requires 221 the input files to be in STREAM_LF to work propery. 222 223 The test suites are not supported as of 7.11.0. 224 225 The curlmsg.sdl and curlmsg.h files are generated from curlmsg.msg. 226 This is not done automatically, since the .MSG file is a hand edit 227 of the relevant stuff from the curl.h file. If you want to do this 228 yourself you'll need the SDL package from the freeware collection. 229
