DSSL Library Documentation

Version 1.3.2

Installation

Prerequisites

DSSL requires the libpcap (WinPcap v. 3.1 for Windows platform) library and the OpenSSL library v. 0.9.8d or above to be installed on your system.

Installing DSSL on Linux

  1. Make sure that libpcap and OpenSSL libraries are installed on your system.
  2. Uncompress and unpack the dssl-1.0.3.tar.gz archive into a temp directory:
    cd /tmp
    gunzip dssl-1.0.3.tar.gz
    tar xvf dssl-1.0.3.tar
  3. Build and install the DSSL library and header files:
    cd /tmp/dssl-1.0.3
    ./configure
    make
    su -c "make install"

If everything went well, DSSL library and header files are installed into /usr/local/lib/ and /usr/local/include/dssl directories, respectively.

Installing DSSL on Windows

Currently, DSSL supports only VisualStudio.NET 2003 / 2005 compilers.

  1. Unzip dssl-1.0.3.zip into a folder you want DSSL to be installed (e.g. c:\dssl).
  2. Add the libdssl.vcproj file to your VS.NET solution.
  3. Adjust the OpenSSL and WinPcap include directories:

If everything went well, you should be able to build libdssl.vcproj project.
