This has a new binding scheme in building OpenSSL-3.0.0 library with Node.js. OpenSSL-3.0.0 uses a new build system with Perl for various supported platforms. See openssl/Configurations/README and openssl/Configurations/README-design.md in the OpenSSL source for details.

In order to build OpenSSL library without Perl in the build of Node.js for various supported platforms, platform dependent files (e.g. asm and header files ) are pre-generated and stored into the config/archs directory.

  • config/Makefile and config/generate_gypi.pl

    Makefile has supported platform list and generates and copies platform dependent files (e.g. asm files) into arch directory with generate_gypi.pl. Platform dependent gypi files are also created obtaining build information from configdata.pm that is generated with Configure in the OpenSSL build system.

    For Windows, Configure generates makefile that is only available to nmake command. config/Makefile_VC-WIN32 and config/Makefile_VC-WIN64A are made by hand for the use of GNU make. If makefile rules or targets are changed in the version up of OpenSSL, they should be also updated.

  • gyp and gypi files (openssl*.{gyp,gypi})

    openssl.gyp has two targets of openssl and openssl-cli referred from node.gyp. They include asm and no_asm gypi files with arch dependent gypi according to its build options and platforms. The gyp data which is common with asm and no_asm are stored in openssl_common.gypi.

  • header files (config/*.{h,h.tmpl})

    bn_conf.h, dso_conf.h and opensslconf.h are platform dependent in the OpenSSL sources. They are replaced with config/*.h.tmpl files to include the file in the ../../../config/ and referred to each arch file that depends on asm and no-asm option. These headers are generated by the make target generate_headers.
