you should defined _THREAD_SAFE (I found that in an include file, and
that's what everybody tells me) or _THREADSAFE (that's what the gcc
manual says in the FreeBSD-specific section), so I defined both, just
to be safe.
to have the full extension information, so residual shared libraries
can be removed so the applications and test programs do not get linked
against them by mistake...
- Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
that.
- Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
- Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
- When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
static ones.
The old code was painfully primitive and couldn't handle
distinct certificates using the same subject name.
The new code performs several tests on a candidate issuer
certificate based on certificate extensions.
It also adds several callbacks to X509_VERIFY_CTX so its
behaviour can be customised.
Unfortunately some hackery was needed to persuade X509_STORE
to tolerate this. This should go away when X509_STORE is
replaced, sometime...
This must have broken something though :-(
there's support for building under Linux and True64 (using examples
from the programming manuals), including versioning that is currently
the same as OpenSSL versions but should really be a different series.
With this change, it's up to the users to decide if they want shared
libraries as well as the static ones. This decision now has to be
done at configuration time (well, not really, those who know what they
do can still do it the same way as before).
The OpenSSL programs (openssl and the test programs) are currently
always linked statically, but this may change in the future in a
configurable manner. The necessary makefile variables to enable this
are in place.
Also note that I have done absolutely nothing about the Windows target
to get something similar. On the other hand, DLLs are already the
default there, but without versioning, and I've no idea what the
possibilities for such a thing are there...
it cope with OpenBSD which doesn't understand "RTLD_NOW".
* Added the dso_scheme config string entry for OpenBSD-x86 to give it
DSO support.
* 'make update' that has also absorbed some of Steve's mkstack changes
for the ASN-related macros.
Also, "make update" has added some missing functions to libeay.num,
updated the TABLE for the alpha changes, and updated thousands of
dependancies that have changed from recent commits.
