Richard Levitte 6bc847e49e Apply the Tru64 patch from Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu>
His comments are:

1) Changes all references for `True64' to be `Tru64', which is the correct
spelling for the OS name.

2) Makes `alpha-cc' be the same as `alpha164-cc', and adds an `alphaold-cc'
entry that is the same as the previous `alpha-cc'.  The reason is that most
people these days are using the newer compiler, so it should be the default.

3) Adds a bit of commentary to Configure, regarding the name changes of
the OS over the years, so it's not so confusing to people that haven't been
with the OS for a while.

4) Adds an `alpha-cc-rpath' target (which is *not* selected automatically
by Configure under any circumstance) that builds an RPATH into the
shared libraries.  This is explained in the comment in Configure.  It's
very very useful for people that want it, and people that don't want it
just shouldn't choose that target.

5) Adds the `-pthread' flag as the best way to get POSIX thread support
from the newer compiler.

6) Updates the Makefile targets, so that when the `alpha164-cc', `alpha-cc',
or `alpha-cc-rpath' target is what Configure is set to use, it uses a Makefile
target that includes the `-msym' option when building the shared library.
This is a performance enhancement.

7) Updates `config' so that if it detects you're running version 4 or 5
of the OS, it automatically selects `alpha-cc', but uses `alphaold-cc'
for versions 1-3 of the OS.

8) Updates the comment in opensslv.h, fixing both the OS name typo and
adding a reference to IRIX 6.x, since the shared library semantics are
virtually identical there.

Bodo Möller d9a770e6ea Mention automatically queried EGD sockets (OpenSSL 0.9.7).
0.9.5 is obsolete, so we don't have to discuss its 'openssl rsa'
seeding bug.

Richard Levitte b4542fb307 Correct info in the FAQ. 2001-04-09 14:17:26 +00:00
Ulf Möller 6767a53669 That statement seems to be not true. In fact, I have said that I would
like to use libtool, but not automake.

Let's investigate that further, or leave the question open for now.

Ulf Möller ba93fd6a38 autoconf would be useful... 2001-02-23 18:00:06 +00:00
Ulf Möller a6ed5dd674 That was misleading. The problem won't happen with 0.9.6a anyway. 2001-02-14 16:55:22 +00:00

Bodo Möller 09f4278d25 undo previous change: '-prexit' is already available in current versions of s_client 2000-12-18 08:18:07 +00:00
Bodo Möller 959f67d6a4 When mentioning features that don't exist in current releases of
OpenSSL (such as the new undocumented '-prexit' option to s_client),
the FAQ should point out that they don't: The FAQ is not just part
of the release, it's current version is also published on the web.

types of questions.  Hopefully, that'll make them easier to spot, and
specially, easier to refer to.
