Tip: if you do this more than once or like to follow bleeding edge like me: no need for hand-tweak stuff for -g and other advanced debug options; either run ./config -d every time you have fetched new sources and want to make sure the new build will have symbols (-d --> makes sure OpenSSL makefiles are configured for a 'debug' build; optimizations are out the door and '-g' is in!) Advanced tip: open ./Configure script, look for lines like 'steve-debug64' etc., there's a whole table of 'em, and copy&paste to a line of your own in there, adding anything you like, then run ./Configure ger-debug64 (or whatever you called your 'platform'; I call mine 'ger-debug64'). Mind the uppercase 'C' there. Start, for instance, by mixing your platform line in that table as reported by ./config -t and mix&mash with good stuff from steve-debug* et al to roll your own extra line in that table. BTW: quickly browsing through that ./Configure table was quite enlighting for me every time I needed extra stuff such as purify, valgrind, etc. running in concert with a 'prepped' OpenSSL build like you're probably going to need as well when this gets as hard as it smells. (I'm lazy and forgetful, so I end up with a couple of ./config4ger-purpose.sh two line shell scripts in that directory which carry these command lines, once I've concocted some that satisfy me.) PS: only thing to watch out for with the 'advanced tip' is that you reckon with your own edit of ./Configure, so don't bluntly overwrite that one on update from CVS/SVN from OpenSSL original. -- Met vriendelijke groeten / Best regards, Ger Hobbelt -------------------------------------------------- web: http://www.hobbelt.com/ http://www.hebbut.net/ mail: g...@hobbelt.com mobile: +31-6-11 120 978 -------------------------------------------------- ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
