From 1e4884f615b20946411a74e41eb9c6aa65e2d5f3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Adam Langley Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2015 10:57:52 -0700 Subject: external/boringssl: sync with upstream. This change imports the current version of BoringSSL. The only local change now is that |BORINGSSL_201509| is defined in base.h. This allows this change to be made without (hopefully) breaking the build. This change will need https://android-review.googlesource.com/172744 to be landed afterwards to update a test.

On Windows, [Strawberry Perl] [2] and MSYS + Perl have both been reported to work.

If not found by CMake, it may be + configured explicitly by setting `CMAKE_ASM_NASM_COMPILER`. + + * A C compiler is required. On Windows, MSVC 12 (Visual Studio 2013) or later + with Platform SDK 8.1 or later are supported. Recent versions of GCC and + Clang should work on non-Windows platforms, and maybe on Windows too. + + * [Go] [6] is required.

Wipe out the build directory, recreate it and run `cmake` like +this: + + cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../util/32-bit-toolchain.cmake -GNinja .. + +If you want to build as a shared library, pass `-DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=1`. On +Windows, where functions need to be tagged with `dllimport` when coming from a +shared library, define `BORINGSSL_SHARED_LIBRARY` in any code which `#include`s +the BoringSSL headers. + +### Building for Android + +It's possible to build BoringSSL with the Android NDK using CMake. This has +been tested with version 10d of the NDK. + +Unpack the Android NDK somewhere and export `ANDROID_NDK` to point to the +directory. Clone https://github.com/taka-no-me/android-cmake into `util/`. Then +make a build directory as above and run CMake *twice* like this: + + cmake -DANDROID_NATIVE_API_LEVEL=android-9 \ + -DANDROID_ABI=armeabi-v7a \ + -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../util/android-cmake/android.toolchain.cmake \ + -DANDROID_NATIVE_API_LEVEL=16 \ + -GNinja .. + +Once you've run that twice, Ninja should produce Android-compatible binaries. +You can replace `armeabi-v7a` in the above with `arm64-v8a` to build aarch64 +binaries. + +## Known Limitations on Windows + + * Versions of CMake since 3.0.2 have a bug in its Ninja generator that causes + yasm to output warnings + + yasm: warning: can open only one input file, only the last file will be processed + + These warnings can be safely ignored. The cmake bug is + http://www.cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=15253. + + * CMake can generate Visual Studio projects, but the generated project files + don't have steps for assembling the assembly language source files, so they + currently cannot be used to build BoringSSL. + + + [1]: http://www.cmake.org/download/ + [2]: http://strawberryperl.com/ + [3]: https://martine.github.io/ninja/ + [4]: https://www.python.org/downloads/ + [5]: http://yasm.tortall.net/ + [6]: https://golang.org/dl/ -- cgit v1.1
