Customized build of OpenSSL for Windows

windows-openssl-build

This repo contains the build recipes needed to build openssl for Windows. It uses knap-build and knap-recipes. Creating a GitHub release on this repo will trigger AppVeyor to build OpenSSL and add the files to that release.

Building Locally

To build, you need a working DevKit along with Ruby. You can install Ruby from RubyInstaller. Once both are installed, you will need to make sure that you have a working tar.exe in your path. This can be acheived by copying bsdtar.exe from mingw. For example, cp C:\Ruby21\DevKit\mingw\bin\bsdtar.exe C:\Ruby21\DevKit\bin\tar.exe. You will also need a curl.exe. You can use chocolatey to acquire curl from https://chocolatey.org/packages/curl.

Now, you will need to activate DevKit. Assuming you are using powershell, this can be done by running C:\Ruby21\DevKit\devkitvars.ps1. This will add the GCC compiler toolcahin to your path.

The final steps are easy. First, set the version of OpenSSL you want to build in the OPENSSL_VERSION file. This file must have a corresponding knapfile in knap-build/recipes/openssl. After that bundle exec rake build.

You can find the artificats in knap-build/var/knapsack/packages/openssl/

Publishing through AppVeyor

To have AppVeyor publish the artificats in a GitHub Release, make sure your changes are merged into master and create a release through the Releases tab. Name it the version of OpenSSL you are wanting to build so that we can easily tell what it is. Once you do this, it will kick off a build on AppVeyor. If this job succeeds, it will publish the artificats and you will be able to see them on the release.
