- OPENSSL INSTALLATION
- --------------------
- [This document describes installation on all supported operating
- systems (currently mainly the Linux/Unix family, OpenVMS and
- Windows)]
- To install OpenSSL, you will need:
- * A make implementation
- * Perl 5 with core modules (please read NOTES.PERL)
- * The perl module Text::Template (please read NOTES.PERL)
- * an ANSI C compiler
- * a development environment in the form of development libraries and C
- header files
- * a supported operating system
- For additional platform specific requirements and other details,
- please read one of these:
- * NOTES.VMS (OpenVMS)
- * NOTES.WIN (any supported Windows)
- * NOTES.DJGPP (DOS platform with DJGPP)
- Quick Start
- -----------
- If you want to just get on with it, do:
- on Unix:
- $ ./config
- $ make
- $ make test
- $ make install
- on OpenVMS:
- $ @config
- $ mms
- $ mms test
- $ mms install
- on Windows (only pick one of the targets for configuration):
- $ perl Configure { VC-WIN32 | VC-WIN64A | VC-WIN64I | VC-CE }
- $ nmake
- $ nmake test
- $ nmake install
- [If any of these steps fails, see section Installation in Detail below.]
- This will build and install OpenSSL in the default location, which is:
- Unix: normal installation directories under /usr/local
- OpenVMS: SYS$COMMON:[OPENSSL-'version'...], where 'version' is the
- OpenSSL version number with underscores instead of periods.
- Windows: C:\Program Files\OpenSSL or C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenSSL
- If you want to install it anywhere else, run config like this:
- On Unix:
- $ ./config --prefix=/opt/openssl --openssldir=/usr/local/ssl
- On OpenVMS:
- $ @config --prefix=PROGRAM:[INSTALLS] --openssldir=SYS$MANAGER:[OPENSSL]
- Configuration Options
- ---------------------
- There are several options to ./config (or ./Configure) to customize
- the build (note that for Windows, the defaults for --prefix and
- --openssldir depend in what configuration is used and what Windows
- implementation OpenSSL is built on. More notes on this in NOTES.WIN):
- --prefix=DIR
- The top of the installation directory tree. Defaults are:
- Unix: /usr/local
- Windows: C:\Program Files\OpenSSL
- or C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenSSL
- OpenVMS: SYS$COMMON:[OPENSSL-'version']
- --openssldir=DIR
- Directory for OpenSSL configuration files, and also the
- default certificate and key store. Defaults are:
- Unix: /usr/local/ssl
- Windows: C:\Program Files\Common Files\SSL
- or C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\SSL
- OpenVMS: SYS$COMMON:[OPENSSL-COMMON]
- --api=x.y.z
- Don't build with support for deprecated APIs below the
- specified version number. For example "--api=1.1.0" will
- remove support for all APIS that were deprecated in OpenSSL
- version 1.1.0 or below.
- no-afalgeng
- Don't build the AFALG engine. This option will be forced if
- on a platform that does not support AFALG.
- no-asm
- Do not use assembler code. On some platforms a small amount
- of assembler code may still be used.
- no-async
- Do not build support for async operations.
- no-autoalginit
- Don't automatically load all supported ciphers and digests.
- Typically OpenSSL will make available all of its supported
- ciphers and digests. For a statically linked application this
- may be undesirable if small executable size is an objective.
- This only affects libcrypto. Ciphers and digests will have to
- be loaded manually using EVP_add_cipher() and
- EVP_add_digest() if this option is used. This option will
- force a non-shared build.
- no-autoerrinit
- Don't automatically load all libcrypto/libssl error strings.
- Typically OpenSSL will automatically load human readable
- error strings. For a statically linked application this may
- be undesirable if small executable size is an objective.
- no-capieng
- Don't build the CAPI engine. This option will be forced if
- on a platform that does not support CAPI.
- no-cms
- Don't build support for CMS features
- no-comp
- Don't build support for SSL/TLS compression. If this option
- is left enabled (the default), then compression will only
- work if the zlib or zlib-dynamic options are also chosen.
- enable-crypto-mdebug
- Build support for debugging memory allocated via
- OPENSSL_malloc() or OPENSSL_zalloc().
- enable-crypto-mdebug-backtrace
- As for crypto-mdebug, but additionally provide backtrace
- information for allocated memory.
- no-ct
- Don't build support for Certificate Transparency.
- no-deprecated
- Don't build with support for any deprecated APIs. This is the
- same as using "--api" and supplying the latest version
- number.
- no-dgram
- Don't build support for datagram based BIOs. Selecting this
- option will also force the disabling of DTLS.
- no-dso
- Don't build support for loading Dynamic Shared Objects.
- no-dynamic-engine
- Don't build the dynamically loaded engines. This only has an
- effect in a "shared" build
- no-ec
- Don't build support for Elliptic Curves.
- no-ec2m
- Don't build support for binary Elliptic Curves
- enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128
- Enable support for optimised implementations of some commonly
- used NIST elliptic curves. This is only supported on some
- platforms.
- enable-egd
- Build support for gathering entropy from EGD (Entropy
- Gathering Daemon).
- no-engine
- Don't build support for loading engines.
- no-err
- Don't compile in any error strings.
- no-filenames
- Don't compile in filename and line number information (e.g.
- for errors and memory allocation).
- no-gost
- Don't build support for GOST based ciphersuites. Note that
- if this feature is enabled then GOST ciphersuites are only
- available if the GOST algorithms are also available through
- loading an externally supplied engine.
- enable-heartbeats
- Build support for DTLS heartbeats.
- no-hw-padlock
- Don't build the padlock engine.
- no-makedepend
- Don't generate dependencies.
- no-multiblock
- Don't build support for writing multiple records in one
- go in libssl (Note: this is a different capability to the
- pipelining functionality).
- no-nextprotoneg
- Don't build support for the NPN TLS extension.
- no-ocsp
- Don't build support for OCSP.
- no-pic
- Don't build with support for Position Independent Code.
- no-posix-io
- Don't use POSIX IO capabilities.
- no-psk
- Don't build support for Pre-Shared Key based ciphersuites.
- no-rdrand
- Don't use hardware RDRAND capabilities.
- no-rfc3779
- Don't build support for RFC3779 ("X.509 Extensions for IP
- Addresses and AS Identifiers")
- sctp
- Build support for SCTP
- no-shared
- Do not create shared libraries, only static ones. See "Note
- on shared libraries" below.
- no-sock
- Don't build support for socket BIOs
- no-srp
- Don't build support for SRP or SRP based ciphersuites.
- no-srtp
- Don't build SRTP support
- no-sse2
- Exclude SSE2 code paths. Normally SSE2 extension is
- detected at run-time, but the decision whether or not the
- machine code will be executed is taken solely on CPU
- capability vector. This means that if you happen to run OS
- kernel which does not support SSE2 extension on Intel P4
- processor, then your application might be exposed to
- "illegal instruction" exception. There might be a way
- to enable support in kernel, e.g. FreeBSD kernel can be
- compiled with CPU_ENABLE_SSE, and there is a way to
- disengage SSE2 code pathes upon application start-up,
- but if you aim for wider "audience" running such kernel,
- consider no-sse2. Both the 386 and no-asm options imply
- no-sse2.
- enable-ssl-trace
- Build with the SSL Trace capabilities (adds the "-trace"
- option to s_client and s_server).
- no-static-engine
- Don't build the statically linked engines. This only
- has an impact when not built "shared".
- no-stdio
- Don't use any C "stdio" features. Only libcrypto and libssl
- can be built in this way. Using this option will suppress
- building the command line applications. Additionally since
- the OpenSSL tests also use the command line applications the
- tests will also be skipped.
- no-threads
- Don't try to build with support for multi-threaded
- applications.
- threads
- Build with support for multi-threaded applications. Most
- platforms will enable this by default. However if on a
- platform where this is not the case then this will usually
- require additional system-dependent options! See "Note on
- multi-threading" below.
- no-ts
- Don't build Time Stamping Authority support.
- no-ui
- Don't build with the "UI" capability (i.e. the set of
- features enabling text based prompts).
- enable-unit-test
- Enable additional unit test APIs. This should not typically
- be used in production deployments.
- enable-weak-ssl-ciphers
- Build support for SSL/TLS ciphers that are considered "weak"
- (e.g. RC4 based ciphersuites).
- zlib
- Build with support for zlib compression/decompression.
- zlib-dynamic
- Like "zlib", but has OpenSSL load the zlib library
- dynamically when needed. This is only supported on systems
- where loading of shared libraries is supported.
- 386
- On Intel hardware, use the 80386 instruction set only
- (the default x86 code is more efficient, but requires at
- least a 486). Note: Use compiler flags for any other CPU
- specific configuration, e.g. "-m32" to build x86 code on
- an x64 system.
- no-<prot>
- Don't build support for negotiating the specified SSL/TLS
- protocol (one of ssl, ssl3, tls, tls1, tls1_1, tls1_2, dtls,
- dtls1 or dtls1_2). If "no-tls" is selected then all of tls1,
- tls1_1 and tls1_2 are disabled. Similarly "no-dtls" will
- disable dtls1 and dtls1_2. The "no-ssl" option is synonymous
- with "no-ssl3". Note this only affects version negotiation.
- OpenSSL will still provide the methods for applications to
- explicitly select the individual protocol versions.
- no-<prot>-method
- As for no-<prot> but in addition do not build the methods for
- applications to explicitly select individual protocol
- versions.
- enable-<alg>
- Build with support for the specified algorithm, where <alg>
- is one of: md2 or rc5.
- no-<alg>
- Build without support for the specified algorithm, where
- <alg> is one of: bf, blake2, camellia, cast, chacha, cmac,
- des, dh, dsa, ecdh, ecdsa, idea, md4, md5, mdc2, ocb,
- ploy1305, rc2, rc4, rmd160, scrypt, seed or whirlpool. The
- "ripemd" algorithm is deprecated and if used is synonymous
- with rmd160.
- -Dxxx, -lxxx, -Lxxx, -fxxx, -mXXX, -Kxxx
- These system specific options will be passed through to the
- compiler to allow you to define preprocessor symbols, specify
- additional libraries, library directories or other compiler
- options.
- Installation in Detail
- ----------------------
- 1a. Configure OpenSSL for your operation system automatically:
- NOTE: This is not available on Windows.
- $ ./config [options] # Unix
- or
- $ @config [options] ! OpenVMS
- For the remainder of this text, the Unix form will be used in all
- examples, please use the appropriate form for your platform.
- This guesses at your operating system (and compiler, if necessary) and
- configures OpenSSL based on this guess. Run ./config -t to see
- if it guessed correctly. If you want to use a different compiler, you
- are cross-compiling for another platform, or the ./config guess was
- wrong for other reasons, go to step 1b. Otherwise go to step 2.
- On some systems, you can include debugging information as follows:
- $ ./config -d [options]
- 1b. Configure OpenSSL for your operating system manually
- OpenSSL knows about a range of different operating system, hardware and
- compiler combinations. To see the ones it knows about, run
- $ ./Configure # Unix
- or
- $ perl Configure # All other platforms
- For the remainder of this text, the Unix form will be used in all
- examples, please use the appropriate form for your platform.
- Pick a suitable name from the list that matches your system. For most
- operating systems there is a choice between using "cc" or "gcc". When
- you have identified your system (and if necessary compiler) use this name
- as the argument to Configure. For example, a "linux-elf" user would
- run:
- $ ./Configure linux-elf [options]
- If your system isn't listed, you will have to create a configuration
- file named Configurations/{something}.conf and add the correct
- configuration for your system. See the available configs as examples
- and read Configurations/README and Configurations/README.design for
- more information.
- The generic configurations "cc" or "gcc" should usually work on 32 bit
- Unix-like systems.
- Configure creates a build file ("Makefile" on Unix and "descrip.mms"
- on OpenVMS) from a suitable template in Configurations, and
- defines various macros in crypto/opensslconf.h (generated from
- crypto/opensslconf.h.in).
- 1c. Configure OpenSSL for building outside of the source tree.
- OpenSSL can be configured to build in a build directory separate from
- the directory with the source code. It's done by placing yourself in
- some other directory and invoking the configuration commands from
- there.
- Unix example:
- $ mkdir /var/tmp/openssl-build
- $ cd /var/tmp/openssl-build
- $ /PATH/TO/OPENSSL/SOURCE/config [options]
- or
- $ /PATH/TO/OPENSSL/SOURCE/Configure [target] [options]
- OpenVMS example:
- $ set default sys$login:
- $ create/dir [.tmp.openssl-build]
- $ set default [.tmp.openssl-build]
- $ @[PATH.TO.OPENSSL.SOURCE]config {options}
- or
- $ @[PATH.TO.OPENSSL.SOURCE]Configure {target} {options}
- Windows example:
- $ C:
- $ mkdir \temp-openssl
- $ cd \temp-openssl
- $ perl d:\PATH\TO\OPENSSL\SOURCE\Configure {target} {options}
- Paths can be relative just as well as absolute. Configure will
- do its best to translate them to relative paths whenever possible.
- 2. Build OpenSSL by running:
- $ make # Unix
- $ mms ! (or mmk) OpenVMS
- $ nmake # Windows
- This will build the OpenSSL libraries (libcrypto.a and libssl.a on
- Unix, corresponding on other platforms) and the OpenSSL binary
- ("openssl"). The libraries will be built in the top-level directory,
- and the binary will be in the "apps" subdirectory.
- If the build fails, look at the output. There may be reasons for
- the failure that aren't problems in OpenSSL itself (like missing
- standard headers). If it is a problem with OpenSSL itself, please
- report the problem to <rt@openssl.org> (note that your message
- will be recorded in the request tracker publicly readable at
- https://www.openssl.org/community/index.html#bugs and will be
- forwarded to a public mailing list). Please check out the request
- tracker. Maybe the bug was already reported or has already been
- fixed.
- [If you encounter assembler error messages, try the "no-asm"
- configuration option as an immediate fix.]
- Compiling parts of OpenSSL with gcc and others with the system
- compiler will result in unresolved symbols on some systems.
- 3. After a successful build, the libraries should be tested. Run:
- $ make test # Unix
- $ mms test ! OpenVMS
- $ nmake test # Windows
- If some tests fail, look at the output. There may be reasons for
- the failure that isn't a problem in OpenSSL itself (like a
- malfunction with Perl). You may want increased verbosity, that
- can be accomplished like this:
- $ make VERBOSE=1 test # Unix
- $ mms /macro=(VERBOSE=1) test ! OpenVMS
- $ nmake VERBOSE=1 test # Windows
- If you want to run just one or a few specific tests, you can use
- the make variable TESTS to specify them, like this:
- $ make TESTS='test_rsa test_dsa' test # Unix
- $ mms/macro="TESTS=test_rsa test_dsa" test ! OpenVMS
- $ nmake TESTS='test_rsa test_dsa' test # Windows
- And of course, you can combine (Unix example shown):
-
- $ make VERBOSE=1 TESTS='test_rsa test_dsa' test
- You can find the list of available tests like this:
- $ make list-tests # Unix
- $ mms list-tests ! OpenVMS
- $ nmake list-tests # Windows
- Have a look at the manual for the perl module Test::Harness to
- see what other HARNESS_* variables there are.
- If you find a problem with OpenSSL itself, try removing any
- compiler optimization flags from the CFLAGS line in Makefile and
- run "make clean; make" or corresponding.
- Please send a bug reports to <rt@openssl.org>.
- 4. If everything tests ok, install OpenSSL with
- $ make install # Unix
- $ mms install ! OpenVMS
- This will install all the software components in this directory
- tree under PREFIX (the directory given with --prefix or its
- default):
- Unix:
- bin/ Contains the openssl binary and a few other
- utility scripts.
- include/openssl
- Contains the header files needed if you want
- to build your own programs that use libcrypto
- or libssl.
- lib Contains the OpenSSL library files.
- lib/engines Contains the OpenSSL dynamically loadable engines.
- share/man/{man1,man3,man5,man7}
- Contains the OpenSSL man-pages.
- share/doc/openssl/html/{man1,man3,man5,man7}
- Contains the HTML rendition of the man-pages.
- OpenVMS ('arch' is replaced with the architecture name, "Alpha"
- or "ia64"):
- [.EXE.'arch'] Contains the openssl binary and a few other
- utility scripts.
- [.include.openssl]
- Contains the header files needed if you want
- to build your own programs that use libcrypto
- or libssl.
- [.LIB.'arch'] Contains the OpenSSL library files.
- [.ENGINES.'arch']
- Contains the OpenSSL dynamically loadable engines.
- [.SYS$STARTUP] Contains startup, login and shutdown scripts.
- These define appropriate logical names and
- command symbols.
-
- Additionally, install will add the following directories under
- OPENSSLDIR (the directory given with --openssldir or its default)
- for you convenience:
- certs Initially empty, this is the default location
- for certificate files.
- private Initially empty, this is the default location
- for private key files.
- misc Various scripts.
- Package builders who want to configure the library for standard
- locations, but have the package installed somewhere else so that
- it can easily be packaged, can use
- $ make DESTDIR=/tmp/package-root install # Unix
- $ mms/macro="DESTDIR=TMP:[PACKAGE-ROOT]" install ! OpenVMS
- The specified destination directory will be prepended to all
- installation target paths.
- Compatibility issues with previous OpenSSL versions:
- * COMPILING existing applications
- OpenSSL 1.1 hides a number of structures that were previously
- open. This includes all internal libssl structures and a number
- of EVP types. Accessor functions have been added to allow
- controlled access to the structures' data.
- This means that some software needs to be rewritten to adapt to
- the new ways of doing things. This often amounts to allocating
- an instance of a structure explicitly where you could previously
- allocate them on the stack as automatic variables, and using the
- provided accessor functions where you would previously access a
- structure's field directly.
- <TBA>
- Some APIs have changed as well. However, older APIs have been
- preserved when possible.
- Note on multi-threading
- -----------------------
- For some systems, the OpenSSL Configure script knows what compiler options
- are needed to generate a library that is suitable for multi-threaded
- applications. On these systems, support for multi-threading is enabled
- by default; use the "no-threads" option to disable (this should never be
- necessary).
- On other systems, to enable support for multi-threading, you will have
- to specify at least two options: "threads", and a system-dependent option.
- (The latter is "-D_REENTRANT" on various systems.) The default in this
- case, obviously, is not to include support for multi-threading (but
- you can still use "no-threads" to suppress an annoying warning message
- from the Configure script.)
- OpenSSL provides built-in support for two threading models: pthreads (found on
- most UNIX/Linux systems), and Windows threads. No other threading models are
- supported. If your platform does not provide pthreads or Windows threads then
- you should Configure with the "no-threads" option.
- Note on shared libraries
- ------------------------
- For most systems the OpenSSL Configure script knows what is needed to
- build shared libraries for libcrypto and libssl. On these systems
- the shared libraries will be created by default. This can be suppressed and
- only static libraries created by using the "no-shared" option. On systems
- where OpenSSL does not know how to build shared libraries the "no-shared"
- option will be forced and only static libraries will be created.
- Note on random number generation
- --------------------------------
- Availability of cryptographically secure random numbers is required for
- secret key generation. OpenSSL provides several options to seed the
- internal PRNG. If not properly seeded, the internal PRNG will refuse
- to deliver random bytes and a "PRNG not seeded error" will occur.
- On systems without /dev/urandom (or similar) device, it may be necessary
- to install additional support software to obtain random seed.
- Please check out the manual pages for RAND_add(), RAND_bytes(), RAND_egd(),
- and the FAQ for more information.
