|

|
Note: These kits are produced by a hobbyist and are providing any support
|
||
|
|
or any commitment to supply bug fixes or future releases. This code is
|
||
|
|
as-is with no warranties.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The testing of this build of curl was minimal and involved building some of
|
||
|
|
the sample and test programs, accessing a public HTTPS: website, doing a
|
||
|
|
form post of some VMS test files, and FTP upload of some text files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Due to the way that PCSI identifies packages, if you install a package from
|
||
|
|
one producer and then want to upgrade it from another producer, you will
|
||
|
|
probably need to uninstall the previous package first.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
OpenVMS specific building and kitting instructions are after the standard
|
||
|
|
curl readme file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This product may be available for your platform in a PCSI kit. The source kit
|
||
|
|
contains files for building CURL using GNV or with a DCL procedure.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The GNV based build creates a libcurl share imaged which is supplied in the
|
||
|
|
PCSI kit.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This version of CURL will return VMS compatible status codes when run from
|
||
|
|
DCL and Unix compatible exit codes and messages when run with the SHELL
|
||
|
|
environment variable set.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This port of Curl uses the OpenSSL, Ldap, and Kerberos V5 that are bundled
|
||
|
|
with OpenVMS or supplied as updates by HP. Ldap and Kerberos are not available
|
||
|
|
on the VAX platform. See section below for a special note about HP OpenSSL
|
||
|
|
on Alpha and IA64.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The supplied CURL_STARTUP.COM procedure that is installed in
|
||
|
|
[VMS$COMMON.SYS$STARTUP] can be put in your VMS startup procedure to install
|
||
|
|
the GNV$LIBCURL shared image and create logical names GNV$LIBCURL to reference
|
||
|
|
it. It will create the GNV$CURL_INCLUDE logical name for build procedures
|
||
|
|
to access the header files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Normally to use curl from DCL, just create a foreign command as:
|
||
|
|
curl :== $gnv$gnu:[usr.bin]gnv$curl.exe
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you need to work around having the older HP SSL kit installed, then
|
||
|
|
for DCL create this command procedure:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ create/dir gnv$gnu:[vms_bin]/prot=w:re
|
||
|
|
$ create gnv$gnu:[vms_bin]curl.com
|
||
|
|
$ curl := $gnv$gnu:[usr.bin]gnv$curl.exe
|
||
|
|
$ define/user ssl$libcrypto_shr32 gnv$curl_ssl_libcryptoshr32
|
||
|
|
$ curl "''p1'" "''p2'" "''p3'" "''p4'" "''p5'" "''p6'" "''p7'" "''p8'"
|
||
|
|
^Z
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then you can use: curl :== @gnv$gnu:[vms_bin]curl.com to run curl.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For the HP SSL work around to work for GNV do the following:
|
||
|
|
$ create/dir gnv$gnu:[usr.local.bin]/prot=w:re
|
||
|
|
$ create gnv$gnu:[usr.local.bin]curl.
|
||
|
|
#! /bin/sh
|
||
|
|
dcl @gnv\$gnu:[vms_bin]curl.com $*
|
||
|
|
^Z
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Similar workarounds will be needed for any program linked with GNV$LIBCURL
|
||
|
|
until the HP OpenSSL is upgraded to the current 1.4 version or later.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you are installing a "daily" build instead of a release build of Curl, some
|
||
|
|
things have been changed so that it can be installed at the same time as
|
||
|
|
a production build without conflicts.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The CURL_DAILY_STARTUP.COM will be supplied instead of CURL_STARTUP.COM.
|
||
|
|
This file is actually not used with the daily package and is provided as
|
||
|
|
a preview of what the next CURL_STARTUP.COM will be for the next release.
|
||
|
|
Do not run it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The files that are normally installed in [VMS$COMMON.GNV.usr], for the
|
||
|
|
daily build are installed in [VMS$COMMON.GNV.beta] directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To use the daily GNV$LIBCURL image, you will need to define the logical
|
||
|
|
name GNV$LIBCURL to the image.
