openssl1_1-win-build

openssl-1.1 Windows build with Visual Studio.

This version is openssl-1.1.1w.

To build, simply open the required solution file, and you know how to use Visual Studio, right? (or perhaps this is the wrong place for you.)

Depends on zlib-win-build. There are hard references assuming zlib-win-build sits next to openssl1_1-win-build.

Basically, in a command prompt:

> cd {somewhere}\
> git clone https://github.com/kiyolee/zlib-win-build.git
> git clone https://github.com/kiyolee/openssl1_1-win-build.git

Build zlib first and then openssl1_1, with the same corresponding Visual Studio solution of course.

Note that only zlib static libraries are used.

This repository tracks the openssl 1.1 series.
For openssl 1.0, check repository https://github.com/kiyolee/openssl1_0-win-build.git.
For openssl 3, check repository https://github.com/kiyolee/openssl3-win-build.git.

Highlights:

1. Multiple Visual Studio versions build happily sharing the same build directory.
2. Build both 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (x64) binaries in one solution.
3. Assembly sources are generated from original perlasm scripts. No pre-generated assembly source are checked in.
4. Keyboard is optional. (Once this repository is cloned.)

Build Requirements:

The following third party tools are required:

1. Perl

   Any reasonably recent version should be fine.
   Strawberry Perl is used to develop this project.
   Download Strawberry Perl from https://strawberryperl.com/.

2. NASM (Assembler)

   Download NASM from https://www.nasm.us.

Make sure both perl and nasm can be found through command path.

Testing:

To test one set of output binaries that use DLLs:

> cd {somewhere}\openssl1_1-win-build
> test\test_one.cmd build-{vsver}\{outdir}

where build-{vsver} is one of the VS build directories and {outdir} is one of the following:

• Release (32-bit release build)
• Debug (32-bit debug build)
• x64\Release (64-bit release build)
• x64\Debug (64-bit debug build)

To test one set of output binaries that use static libraries:

> cd {somewhere}\openssl1_1-win-build
> test\test_one.cmd build-{vsver}\{outdir} -static

To test all binaries that have been built:

> cd {somewhere}\openssl1_1-win-build
> test\test_all.cmd

Using The Build:

It is not necessary to install OpenSSL to develop applications linking to OpenSSL libraries built with this repository.

Every $(OutDir) for different combinations of Platform and Configuration from a solution has a copy of "include\openssl" which is the same as what get installed like the official package. Note that the include directories are exactly the same between different Platforms and/or Configurations. The duplication is required to facilitate batch/parallel builds.

For a project to use OpenSSL from this repository, simply add "$(OutDir)\include" to the include path and link to libraries from $(OutDir). Note that $(OutDir) is just a reference here and may need specific value for the project depending on the combination of Visual Studio version, Platform and Configuration required.

If static libraries (libcrypto-1_1-static.lib and libssl-1_1-static.lib) are used, libz-static.lib (from zlib-win-build) is needed as well.
