How to install minssl

Like any other piece of software (and information generally), minssl comes with NO WARRANTY.

Requirements

System

A Unix-like system

Build-time

A standard C development environment
The skalibs package, version 0.33 or higher
The nistp224 package, version 0.75 or higher
The hash127 package, version 0.70 or higher

Run-time

For minsslclient and minsslserver: the ucspi-tcp package, version 0.88 or higher.
For minsslconnect: also the conn-tools package, version 0.19 or higher.
Not required, but recommended: daemontools or runit for service supervision.

Installation

minssl follows the slashpackage convention.

Create a /package directory:

     mkdir -p /package
     chmod 1755 /package
     cd /package

Download the latest version of minssl, minssl-0.10.tar.gz, into /package. minssl has not been released yet. If you're interested in minssl and would like to know when it is released, you should subscribe to the skaware mailing-list.

Unpack the minssl package:

     tar -zxpvf minssl-0.10.tar.gz
     # if you do not have GNU tar, check with your gunzip and tar manual pages.
     rm minssl-0.10.tar.gz
     cd net/minssl-0.10

Edit the hash127 lines of the conf-compile/import file. This lines should indicate the place where your hash127 headers and libraries are located on your system. By default, these locations are /usr/local/hash127/include and /usr/local/hash127/library.
If you are following the slashpackage convention, you should not need to modify other lines in conf-compile/import.
If you want another user than nobody to own your root-created minssl-tunnel processes, edit the src/tunnel/minssl.h file and change MINSSLTUNNEL_USER accordingly.
If you want to use another compiler and linker than the default, edit conf-compile/conf-cc and conf-compile/conf-ld as needed.
Compile and set up minssl:
```
     package/install
```

To report success :

	 cat package/name package/version compile/export/sysdeps | mail ska-sysdeps@skarnet.org

You can then delete the compile subdirectory to save disk space.
