# OpenSSL - byo
Xojo example project
[](LICENSE)
## Description
This example project shows how you can build the [OpenSSL Library](https://openssl-library.org) from Source as a Universal ```.dylib``` *(arm64 and x86_64)*, include it in a Xojo project - and finally use it in your application.
Additionally, this repository also demonstrates how to build [LibreSSL](https://www.libressl.org) as an alternative to OpenSSL.
*LibreSSL is a version of the TLS/crypto stack forked from OpenSSL in 2014, with goals of modernizing the codebase, improving security, and applying best practice development processes.*
Included in this repository:
- [How to: Build OpenSSL on macOS](./openssl)
- A [Shell Script](./openssl/3.5/build.sh) you can use as a template to build the [OpenSSL Library](https://openssl-library.org) yourself
- [How to: Build LibreSSL on macOS](./libressl)
- A [Shell Script](./libressl/4.2.1/build.sh) you can use as a template to build [LibreSSL](https://www.libressl.org) yourself
- Example Xojo Project - showing how to bundle your own built ```.dylib```'s in your application

### Requirements
[Xojo](https://www.xojo.com/) is a rapid application development for Desktop, Web, Mobile & Raspberry Pi.
The Desktop application Xojo example project ```openssl-byo.xojo_project``` is using:
- Xojo 2025r3.1
- 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.3.5.dylib``` and ```libcrypto.3.5.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.3.5.dylib"
Declare Function OpenSSL_version Lib cryptoLib (i As Integer) As CString
SomeLabel.Text = OpenSSL_version(0)
```
