! 153:
! 154: vms_eco_level.h This sets the ECO level for the PCSI kit name.
! 155:
! 156:
! 157: How to Build:
! 158:
! 159: The GNV based build and the DCL based build procedures are not compatible
! 160: and you must make sure that none of the build files are present before
! 161: running a different type of build. Use the "REALCLEAN" option for
! 162: BUILD_VMS.COM and the "REALCLEAN" option for clean_gnv_curl.com.
! 163:
! 164: The (brute-force) DCL based builder is [.packages.vms]build_vms.com.
! 165: Comments in this procedure describe various optional parameters which
! 166: enable or disable optional program features, or which control the build
! 167: in other ways. Product files (.EXE, .H, .LIS, .MAP, .OBJ, .OLB, ...)
! 168: should be produced in an architecture-specific subdirectory under this
! 169: directory ([.ALPHA], [.IA64], [.VAX]).
! 170:
! 171: The file curl_gnv_build_steps.txt contains information on buildling using
! 172: the GNV tool kit, building a shared libcurl, and producting a PCSI kit for
! 173: distribution. The curl_gnv_build_steps.text is included in the release
! 174: notes file of the PCSI kit.
! 175:
! 176: The building with 64 bit pointers does not currently work.
! 177:
! 178: The build procedure will detect if HP OpenSSL, LDAP, and Kerberos are
! 179: installed and default to building with them.
! 180:
! 181: The build procedure will also detect if a compatible ZLIB shared image
! 182: is installed from a PCSI kit and default to using it.
! 183:
! 184: Example build commands:
! 185:
! 186: @ [.packages.vms]build_vms.com CLEAN
! 187: @ [.packages.vms]build_vms.com LARGE LDAP
! 188: submit /noprint [.packages.vms]build_vms.com /param = (LARGE, LDAP)
! 189:
! 190: The build_vms.com procedure does not build the shared image file or the PCSI
! 191: kit. If you have built a curl with ZLIB and HPSSL support as well as if
! 192: LDAP and Kerberos installed, you can use the GNV_LINK_CURL.COM file.
! 193:
! 194: The GNV_LINK_CURL.COM contains information on how to link and run with a newer
! 195: version of HP SSL than what may be install on an Alpha or IA64 based system.
! 196:
! 197: To build the PCSI kit, follow the instructions in the file
! 198: curl_gnv_build_steps.txt.
! 199:
! 200: Other Notes:
! 201:
! 202: This release fixes known bugs #22, and #57 in the [curl.docs]known_bugs.
! 203: file.
! 204:
! 205: The libcurl formdata.c module and Curl tools post form now have some
! 206: understanding of VMS file types. Files will be posted in STREAM_LF format.
! 207:
! 208: The Curl tool now has some understanding of VMS file types and will upload the
! 209: files in STREAM_LF format.
! 210:
! 211: When CURL is uploading a VARIABLE format VMS file, it is less efficient as in
! 212: order to get the file size, it will first read the entire file once, and then
! 213: read the file again for the actual upload.
! 214:
! 215: The Curl tool will now always download files into STREAM_LF format. Even if a
! 216: file by that name with a different format already exists. This is needed to
! 217: allow interrupted downloads to be continued.
! 218:
! 219:
! 220: The libcurl file module still does not understand VMS file types and requires
! 221: the input files to be in STREAM_LF to work property.
! 222:
! 223: The test suites are not supported as of 7.11.0.
! 224:
! 225: The curlmsg.sdl and curlmsg.h files are generated from curlmsg.msg.
! 226: This is not done automatically, since the .MSG file is a hand edit
! 227: of the relevant stuff from the curl.h file. If you want to do this
! 228: yourself you'll need the SDL package from the freeware collection.
