"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 (or any program capable to "unbinhex"); +- DropStuff w/EE (or MacGzip and SUNtar); +- 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 DropStuff w/EE installed then just drag it over + StuffIt Expander; + - otherwise process it first with MacGzip and then with SUNtar; +- locate MacOS folder in OpenSSL source tree and open it; +- unbinhex mklinks.as.hqx and OpenSSL.mcp.hqx in place; +- double-click on mklinks.as; +- open OpenSSL.mcp and compile 'GetHTTPS PPC' target; +- that's it; + +(*) URL is hardcoded into GetHTTPS Sources/GetHTTPS.cpp + +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" |
