[openssl-dev] [openssl.org #4223] fix request for OpenSSL (not version specific)

[Cleveland Watson via RT]

Hi, I work for IBM supporting an application built in the HP NonStop Open 
System Services (OSS) environment. 

The application I support uses OpenSSL, which I compile and integrate into 
our application. 

When compiling any version of OpenSSL under OSS, I have to add the 
highlighted condition in source module apps/ca.c in order to complete the 
compilation:

/home/openssl/openssl-1.0.2e/apps: diff ca.c.orig ca.c
85c85
< # elif !defined(OPENSSL_SYS_VXWORKS) && !defined(OPENSSL_SYS_WINDOWS) && 
!defined(OPENSSL_SYS_NETWARE)
---
> # elif !defined(OPENSSL_SYS_VXWORKS) && !defined(OPENSSL_SYS_WINDOWS) && 
!defined(OPENSSL_SYS_NETWARE) && !defined(__TANDEM)
/home/openssl/openssl-1.0.2e/apps:

The code in context is

#ifndef W_OK
# ifdef OPENSSL_SYS_VMS
#  if defined(__DECC)
#   include <unistd.h>
#  else
#   include <unixlib.h>
#  endif
# elif !defined(OPENSSL_SYS_VXWORKS) && !defined(OPENSSL_SYS_WINDOWS) && 
!defined(OPENSSL_SYS_NETWARE) && !defined(__TANDEM)
#  include <sys/file.h>
# endif
#endif

Header file <sys/file.h> is not part of the standard library in OSS, so if 
the test for __TANDEM is not added, the preprocessor attempts to include 
the header file and the compilation fails when it is not found. Adding 
this condtion allows compilation to complete normally.

This problem exists in every NonStop OSS environment I have worked in, 
with every version of OpenSSL I have worked with (starting with 0.9.8).

Could this change be considered for permanent inclusion in future releases 
of OpenSSL? 

Current OpenSSL version:  1.0.2e
Current NonStop OS version:  J06.15.00
