Building AS3Crypto Question

Question

I am trying to build Crypto using the instructions in the
readme file, but I think I might be missing something. I unzipped
the OpenSSL library to my temp drive, opened cygwin and navigated
to the directory. The instructions start with:
You should configure OpenSSL using:
PATH=$ALCHEMY_HOME/achacks:$PATH \
./Configure BSD-x86 --prefix=$ALCHEMY_HOME/openssl -no-hw
-no-asm -no-threads -no-shared -no-dso
I am assuming this is supposed to create the required openssl
directories (please correct me if I am wrong). The reason I say
this is that after the next step which compiles the OpenSSL, it
reads:
You must copy the crypto.l.bc file from the OpenSSL install
folder to $ALCHEMY_HOME/openssl/lib.
Up to this point, though, there hasn't been any instructions
to create the openssl directories.
Anyway, it is at this point the instructions get fuzzy. It
reads that the sample is ready to be made, but doesn't explain how
to do this (you can grab the makefile from the zip, however if the
openssl directories and required files are not in their appropriate
places, the make fails with many errors.
Has anyone been able to successfully build the sample and if
so, what did you do that I am missing?
Thanks in advance,
Shawn

Step 2 (do not
make clean after configure)
You can then compile OpenSSL using:
PATH=$ALCHEMY_HOME/achacks:$PATH \
make
Step 3
copy the folder openssl - from the
archive
of alchemy home directory
copy the crypto.l.bc file from the OpenSSL install folder to
$ALCHEMY_HOME/openssl/lib.
and compiling the sample - as3_crypto_wrapperHi
Hi,
I am trying to recompile as3_crypto_wrapper in order to expose the 256 bit aes encryption. After having trouble with the above intructions (I am running under cygwin) I simply download the openssl files via cygwin's package manager, and then point the make file to those. After that, use gluegen to generate the c file and and actionscript wrapper from the gg file. Then I use make to generate a swc, this proceeds with no errors and the the traced output is as expected (based on the alchemy compilation guides on the web). However, the generated swc is far smaller than the precompiled version provided as a sample (90kb vs 1.1mb). When I run the application whilst referencing the newly generated swc I get a crash:
Undefined sym: _OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf
Any ideas? I strongly suspect I am simply not compiling it correctly.
As far as the issues I had when trying to follow the steps outlined above my issues were as follows:
Step 1: Attempted to run as a single command as well as two seperate commands, my shell results are as follows:
multitouch@multitouch-msi ~
$ alc-on
multitouch@multitouch-msi ~
$ PATH=$ALCHEMY_HOME/achacks:$PATH \
>
multitouch@multitouch-msi ~
$ ./Configure BSD-x86 --prefix=$ALCHEMY_HOME/openssl -no-hw
bash: ./Configure: No such file or directory
multitouch@multitouch-msi ~
$ -no-asm -no-threads -no-shared -no-dso
bash: -no-asm: command not found
multitouch@multitouch-msi ~
$ PATH=$ALCHEMY_HOME/achacks:$PATH \
>
multitouch@multitouch-msi ~
$ ./Configure BSD-x86 --prefix=$ALCHEMY_HOME/openssl -no-hw
bash: ./Configure: No such file or directory
multitouch@multitouch-msi ~
$ -no-asm -no-threads -no-shared -no-dso
bash: -no-asm: command not found
I am not sure exactly how to "configure OpenSSL" (step 1) nor how to "compile OpenSSL" (step 2). I am quite new to the bash shell. Any additional detail would be appreciated. Perhaps if I get over this hurdle the rest, I could use the original supplied makefile and that would remove any issues I have introduced with my modifcations.
For refernce sake my make file now looks like this:
.SUFFIXES: .cpp .c .o
NAME=as3_crypto_wrapper
PATH:=${ALCHEMY_HOME}/achacks:${PATH}
GG = gluegen
INC = -I /cygdrive/c/cygwin/usr/include/
CC = gcc
CCPP = g++
CFLAGS = -DTERMIOS -DL_ENDIAN -fomit-frame-pointer -O3 -Wall
LDFLAGS = -L=/cygdrive/c/cygwin/usr/include/openssl -l=crypto
OBJS =
.cpp.o:
    $(CCPP) $(INC) $(CFLAGS) -c $<
.c.o:
    $(CC) $(INC) $(CFLAGS) -c $<
all: $(NAME)
glue.c : $(NAME).gg
    $(GG) $(NAME).gg -oas $(NAME).as -cpackage cmodule.$(NAME) -package alchemy.samples -class $(NAME)
glue.o : glue.c
$(NAME) : glue.o $(OBJS)
    $(CC) $(INC) $(CFLAGS) -swc -o $(NAME).swc glue.o $(OBJS) $(LDFLAGS)
clean:
    rm $(OBJS) glue.* $(NAME).swc
    rm swfbridge.log
    rm *achacks*
    rm -r _sb_*
