My objective was twofold: I wanted to keep the external lib API intact so that the many applications which are based on the OpenSSL libraries could still be linked against it. This did not mean that all API calls have functional code behind them. I made use of all the conditional compilation directives I could and suppressed the code generation for all text messages. Second, I have taken out non-essential code to reduce the openssl executable. The only command line parameters which I have have left functional are genrsa, req, s_client, s_server and version. This way I have a bare bones openssl executable for those clients which want to create their key pair and certificate request themselves. I also built shared libraries and dynamically linked the openssl executable to them dynamically. The OpenSSL team has come to the same conclusion starting with version 0.9.7, as I see :-) Regards, Martin ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
