* Update INSTALL about no-md5 removalFdaSilvaYY2016-09-191-4/+3
| | | | | | | | | no-rsa is no longer an option since 7ec8de1 Fix a typo about poly1305 Reviewed-by: Andy Polyakov <appro@openssl.org> Reviewed-by: Rich Salz <rsalz@openssl.org> (Merged from https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/1582)
* Configure: impose ^X on whole build procedure.Andy Polyakov2016-09-131-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | Traditionally Configure passed $ENV{PERL} to Makefile. But this resulted in ambiguilty as Configure script could be executed by interpreter different from one executing remaining scripts. Since we separate compile- and run-time interpreters with HASHBANGPERL variable, there is no reason to segment the build procedure. Reviewed-by: Rich Salz <rsalz@openssl.org>

* Add a note about a perl issue on VMS and how to work around itRichard Levitte2016-08-061-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | I bug in perl's File::Spec->canonpath() was uncovered. There's nothing we can do about it (except re-implementing canonpath()), except working around the problem (a directory rename) and reporting the issue to the perl module developers. Reviewed-by: Rich Salz <rsalz@openssl.org>
* INSTALL: Make the use of [, ], { and } consistent and explain itRichard Levitte2016-08-031-19/+73
| | | | | | | | | | | | The diverse notations used in INSTALL are not as self explanatory as we might imagine, so let's attempt a consistent notation for mandatory and optional pieces of a command line, and to explain the meaning of each notation. This does away with the bash notation used in one spot, as it isn't universally understood and will only confuse the unknowing more. Reviewed-by: Rich Salz <rsalz@openssl.org>

* perl: Separate compile-time environment from runtime environmentRichard Levitte2016-07-041-1/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Make it possible to have a separate and different perl command string for installable scripts than we use when building, with the environment variable HASHBANGPERL. Its value default to the same as the environment PERL if it's defined, otherwise '/usr/bin/env perl'. Note: this is only relevant for Unix-like environments.

| | | | | | | | | With Unixly Makefiles as well as with nmake, make variables are transferred to the shell running the commands as envinronment variables.

Instead, tag along with the rest of the open source world and adopt the Makefile variable DESTDIR to designate the desired staging directory. The Configure option --install_prefix is removed, the only way to designate a staging directory is with the Makefile variable (this is also implemented for VMS' descrip.mms et al).
