OpenSSL - byo

Xojo example project

Description

This example project shows how you can build the OpenSSL Library from Source as a Universal .dylib (arm64 and x86_64), include it in a Xojo project - and finally use it in your application.

Included in this repository:

• How to: Build OpenSSL on macOS
  • A Shell Script you can use as a template to build the OpenSSL Library yourself
• Example Xojo Project - showing how to bundle your own built .dylib's in your application

Requirements

Xojo is a rapid application development for Desktop, Web, Mobile & Raspberry Pi.

The Desktop application Xojo example project openssl-byo.xojo_project is using:

• Xojo 2023r3
• API 2

How to use in your own Xojo project?

1. Open the example project openssl-byo.xojo_project, create a new project - or open your existing project
2. In the Navigator, go to: Build Settings -> macOS
3. Add a Post Build Step: Copy Files
4. Drag in the two built .dylibs: libssl.3.dylib and libcrypto.3.dylib
5. Set the Post Build Script behavior in the Inspector:
   • Applies to: both
   • Subdirectory: (empty)
   • Destination: Framework folder

You then can use the bundled OpenSSL Library that you have just built in your own project.

For example: Get the OpenSSL Version like this:

Const cryptoLib = "@executable_path/../Frameworks/libcrypto.3.dylib"
Declare Function OpenSSL_version Lib cryptoLib (i As Integer) As CString
SomeLabel.Text = OpenSSL_version(0)
