Introduction to NSS

The Network Security Services (NSS) package is a set of libraries designed to support cross-platform development of security-enabled client and server applications. Applications built with NSS can support SSL v2 and v3, TLS, PKCS #5, PKCS #7, PKCS #11, PKCS #12, S/MIME, X.509 v3 certificates, and other security standards. This is useful for implementing SSL and S/MIME or other Internet security standards into an application.

Dependencies

Required

• NSPR

Non-Multilib

NOTE: someone check if we should be including more shlibs in the .pc file

Compile the package (NOTE: for pure64 builds add 'USE_64=1' to the make line):

export WORKINGDIR=$PWD &&
echo 'INCLUDES += -I/usr/include/nspr' >> mozilla/security/coreconf/headers.mk &&
for dir in $PWD/mozilla/security/{coreconf,dbm,nss}; do
  cd $dir &&
  make BUILD_OPT=1
done

Install the package

export NSS_LINUXDIR=$(basename `dir -d $WORKINGDIR/mozilla/dist/Linux*`) &&
cd $WORKINGDIR/mozilla/dist &&
install -v -m755 $NSS_LINUXDIR/lib/*.so /usr/lib &&
install -v -m644 $NSS_LINUXDIR/lib/*.{chk,a} /usr/lib &&
install -v -d /usr/include/nss &&
install -v -m644 {public,private}/nss/* /usr/include/nss &&
unset NSS_LINUXDIR WORKINGDIR

Create the pkg-config file:

cat > /usr/lib/pkgconfig/nss.pc << "EOF"
prefix=/usr
exec_prefix=/usr
libdir=/usr/lib
includedir=/usr/include/nss

Name: NSS
Description: Network Security Services
Version: 3.11.3
Requires: nspr >= 4.6.3
Libs: -L${libdir} -lssl3 -lsmime3 -lnss3 -Wl,-R${libdir}
Cflags: -I${includedir}
EOF

Create /usr/bin/nss-config:

install -v -m755 ../nss-config /usr/bin/nss-config

Multilib

32Bit

Compile the package:

export WORKINGDIR=$PWD &&

for dir in $PWD/mozilla/security/{coreconf,dbm,nss}; do
  cd $dir &&
  make CC="gcc ${BUILD32}" BUILD_OPT=1

install -v -d /usr/include/nss &&
install -v -m644 {public,private}/nss/* /usr/include/nss &&
unset NSS_LINUXDIR WORKINGDIR

Create the pkg-config file:

Short Descriptions

nspr-config	is used to determine the NSPR installation settings of the installed NSPR libraries.
nss-config	is used to determine the NSS library settings of the installed NSS libraries.

The libnspr4.so, libplc4.so and libplds4.so libraries make up the Netscape Portable Runtime (NSPR) libraries. These libraries provide a platform-neutral API for system level and libc like functions. The API is used in the Mozilla client, many of the Netscape/AOL/iPlanet offerings and other software applications.

The libcrmf.a, libfreebl.so, libnss3.so, libnssckbi.so, libsmime3.so, libsoftokn3.so and libnssl3.so libraries make up the NSS libraries.
