Is there even an official list outside of the Config program of supported platforms?

It's true that it adds a dependency on 'cmake' itself, but at least it wouldn't require Perl as it currently does. I've actually got more experience with autotools, but cmake seems to be the right choice to me since autotools and windows don't mix (at least not with the commercial compilers available for windows). CMake appears to be BSD licensed so is freely available, and the compilation/installation process is pretty straight-forward, so from a technical and political standpoint, I don't see any major roadblocks there. I'm definitely open to other options, I just want to have a solution that works on all the OSs we (the company I work for) support, which is a pretty extensive list. The only OS we can't get working in FIPS mode is Windows x64, and that's because of the build environment, though some other platforms like SCO and AIX require patches to get working ... Here's a list of the OSs we use OpenSSL on ... I'm sure I've left some out ... AIX4.3.3 (gcc) AIX5 32bit & 64bit (gcc) HP-UX 11i 64bit (gcc) Sparc Solaris 8/9/10 (32bit & 64bit) (gcc) SCO OpenServer 5.0.6 (gcc) SCO OpenServer 6.0.0 (SCO's C) FreeBSD 4 & 5 x86 (gcc) FreeBSD 6 x86/x64 (gcc) Linux glibc21+ x86 & x64 (gcc) Windows x86 (Visual Studio 2005) Windows x64 (Visual Studio 2005) <OpenBSD and NetBSD are in testing with us> Anyhow, I'd be willing to get the initial efforts going and test on our supported OSs if everyone is in agreement that this is the best route. (Also, please note that from what I can tell, there should be no issue having the current build system and a CMake build system co-exist for an amount of time, until all other platforms are confirmed to be working) -Brad ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List [email protected] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
