Dear OpenSSL developers,
I am Vladimir E. Shklover, senior software engineer at SPSS Inc., Chicago, USA.
We are
developing client-server application with SSL connection on different platforms. Our
application
relies on shared rather than static libraries, libssl.so & libcrypto.so in UNIX.
Current version,
openssl-0.9.7, does not support shared libraries on AIX platform. I am sending you the
changes
which allow to generate shared libraries for some cc compilers on AIX, namely,
"aix-cc" and
"aix43-cc". These changes are not made for "aix64-cc", "aix-gcc" and "aix43-gcc"
because
they don't work for these compilers and at this time I don't know how to solve that
problem.
Because of that (and linking problems), my changes allow to switch the default
compiler for AIX
from gcc type to cc type. I have included the changes in configuration and make files
attached;
for your convenience, I have attached summary of changes in all 4 files, and then
separately for
each file. A TSA (TSU) notification and a copy of this message is sent to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Summary of all changes.
<<summary.diff.doc>>
1. Changes in "Configure", enable shared libraries for "aix-cc" and "aix43-cc".
<<Configure.diff.patch>>
2. Changes in "config", switching AIX default compiler from gcc type to cc type.
<<config.diff.patch>>
3. Changes in "Makefile.org", correcting some errors in the implementation of
"aix-shared" target.
<<Makefile.org.diff.patch>>
4. Changes in "Makefile.ssl", the same as in "Makefile.org"
<<Makefile.ssl.diff.patch>>
I would appreciate your telling me if you accept the above changes and if yes,
when they will be included in the release.
Sincerely yours,
Vladimir E. Shklover
