Windows DLL Build instructions using nmake build system 2020-10-15 Harald.Oehlmann@elmicron.de Properties: - 32 bit DLL - VisualStudio 2015 Note: Vuisual C++ 6 does not build OpenSSL (long long syntax error) - Cygwin32 (temporary helper, please help to replace by tclsh) - OpenSSL statically linked to TCLTLS DLL. Note: Dynamic linking also works but results in a DLL dependeny on OPENSSL DLL's 1) Build OpenSSL static libraries: OpenSSL source distribtution unpacked in: c:\test\tcltls\Openssl_1_1_1h - Install Perl from http://strawberryperl.com/download/5.32.0.1/strawberry-perl-5.32.0.1-32bit.msi to C:\perl (ActivePerl failed due to missing 32 bit console module) - Install NASM Assembler: https://www.nasm.us/pub/nasm/releasebuilds/2.15.05/win32/nasm-2.15.05-installer-x86.exe to C:\Program Files (x86)\NASM -> Visual Studio x86 native prompt. set Path=%PATH%;C:\Program Files (x86)\NASM;C:\Perl\perl\bin perl Configure VC-WIN32 --prefix=c:\test\tcltls\openssl --openssldir=c:\test\tcltls\openssldir no-shared no-filenames threads nmake nmake test namke install 2) Build TCLTLS Unzip distribution in: c:\test\tcltls\tcltls-1.7.22 -> start cygwin bash prompt cd /cygdrive/c/test/tcltls/tcltls-1.7.22 ./gen_dh_params > dh_params.h od -A n -v -t xC < 'tls.tcl' > tls.tcl.h.new.1 sed 's@[^0-9A-Fa-f]@@g;s@..@0x&, @g' < tls.tcl.h.new.1 > tls.tcl.h rm -f tls.tcl.h.new.1 -> Visual Studio x86 native prompt. cd C:\test\tcltls\tcltls-1.7.22\win nmake -f makefile.vc TCLDIR=c:\test\tcl8610 SSL_INSTALL_FOLDER=C:\test\tcltls\openssl nmake -f makefile.vc install TCLDIR=c:\test\tcl8610 INSTALLDIR=c:\test\tcltls SSL_INSTALL_FOLDER=C:\test\tcltls\openssl 3) Test Start tclsh or wish lappend auto_path {C:\test\tcltls\tls1.7.22} package require tls A small "1.7.22" showing up is hopefully the end of this long way...
