  1. OPENSSL INSTALLATION
  2. --------------------
  3. This document describes installation on all supported operating
  4. systems (the Linux/Unix family, OpenVMS and Windows)
  5. To install OpenSSL, you will need:
  6. * A make implementation
  7. * Perl 5 with core modules (please read NOTES.PERL)
  8. * The perl module Text::Template (please read NOTES.PERL)
  9. * an ANSI C compiler
  10. * a development environment in the form of development libraries and C
  11. header files
  12. * a supported operating system
  13. For additional platform specific requirements, solutions to specific
  14. issues and other details, please read one of these:
  15. * NOTES.UNIX (any supported Unix like system)
  16. * NOTES.VMS (OpenVMS)
  17. * NOTES.WIN (any supported Windows)
  18. * NOTES.DJGPP (DOS platform with DJGPP)
  19. * NOTES.ANDROID (obviously Android [NDK])
  20. Notational conventions in this document
  21. ---------------------------------------
  22. Throughout this document, we use the following conventions in command
  23. examples:
  24. $ command Any line starting with a dollar sign
  25. ($) is a command line.
  26. { word1 | word2 | word3 } This denotes a mandatory choice, to be
  27. replaced with one of the given words.
  28. A simple example would be this:
  29. $ echo { FOO | BAR | COOKIE }
  30. which is to be understood as one of
  31. these:
  32. $ echo FOO
  33. - or -
  34. $ echo BAR
  35. - or -
  36. $ echo COOKIE
  37. [ word1 | word2 | word3 ] Similar to { word1 | word2 | word3 }
  38. except it's optional to give any of
  39. those. In addition to the examples
  40. above, this would also be valid:
  41. $ echo
  42. {{ target }} This denotes a mandatory word or
  43. sequence of words of some sort. A
  44. simple example would be this:
  45. $ type {{ filename }}
  46. which is to be understood to use the
  47. command 'type' on some file name
  48. determined by the user.
  49. [[ options ]] Similar to {{ target }}, but is
  50. optional.
  51. Note that the notation assumes spaces around {, }, [, ], {{, }} and
  52. [[, ]]. This is to differentiate from OpenVMS directory
  53. specifications, which also use [ and ], but without spaces.
  54. Quick Start
  55. -----------
  56. If you want to just get on with it, do:
  57. on Unix:
  58. $ ./config
  59. $ make
  60. $ make test
  61. $ make install
  62. on OpenVMS:
  63. $ @config
  64. $ mms
  65. $ mms test
  66. $ mms install
  67. on Windows (only pick one of the targets for configuration):
  68. $ perl Configure { VC-WIN32 | VC-WIN64A | VC-WIN64I | VC-CE }
  69. $ nmake
  70. $ nmake test
  71. $ nmake install
  72. If any of these steps fails, see section Installation in Detail below.
  73. This will build and install OpenSSL in the default location, which is:
  74. Unix: normal installation directories under /usr/local
  75. OpenVMS: SYS$COMMON:[OPENSSL-'version'...], where 'version' is the
  76. OpenSSL version number with underscores instead of periods.
  77. Windows: C:\Program Files\OpenSSL or C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenSSL
  78. If you want to install it anywhere else, run config like this:
  79. On Unix:
  80. $ ./config --prefix=/opt/openssl --openssldir=/usr/local/ssl
  81. On OpenVMS:
  82. $ @config --prefix=PROGRAM:[INSTALLS] --openssldir=SYS$MANAGER:[OPENSSL]
  83. (Note: if you do add options to the configuration command, please make sure
  84. you've read more than just this Quick Start, such as relevant NOTES.* files,
  85. the options outline below, as configuration options may change the outcome
  86. in otherwise unexpected ways)
  87. Configuration Options
  88. ---------------------
  89. There are several options to ./config (or ./Configure) to customize
  90. the build (note that for Windows, the defaults for --prefix and
  91. --openssldir depend in what configuration is used and what Windows
  92. implementation OpenSSL is built on. More notes on this in NOTES.WIN):
  93. --api=x.y.z
  94. Don't build with support for deprecated APIs below the
  95. specified version number. For example "--api=1.1.0" will
  96. remove support for all APIS that were deprecated in OpenSSL
  97. version 1.1.0 or below.
  98. --cross-compile-prefix=PREFIX
  99. The PREFIX to include in front of commands for your
  100. toolchain. It's likely to have to end with dash, e.g.
  101. a-b-c- would invoke GNU compiler as a-b-c-gcc, etc.
  102. Unfortunately cross-compiling is too case-specific to
  103. put together one-size-fits-all instructions. You might
  104. have to pass more flags or set up environment variables
  105. to actually make it work. Android and iOS cases are
  106. discussed in corresponding Configurations/10-main.cf
  107. sections. But there are cases when this option alone is
  108. sufficient. For example to build the mingw64 target on
  109. Linux "--cross-compile-prefix=x86_64-w64-mingw32-"
  110. works. Naturally provided that mingw packages are
  111. installed. Today Debian and Ubuntu users have option to
  112. install a number of prepackaged cross-compilers along
  113. with corresponding run-time and development packages for
  114. "alien" hardware. To give another example
  115. "--cross-compile-prefix=mipsel-linux-gnu-" suffices
  116. in such case. Needless to mention that you have to
  117. invoke ./Configure, not ./config, and pass your target
  118. name explicitly.
  119. --debug
  120. Build OpenSSL with debugging symbols.
  121. --libdir=DIR
  122. The name of the directory under the top of the installation
  123. directory tree (see the --prefix option) where libraries will
  124. be installed. By default this is "lib". Note that on Windows
  125. only ".lib" files will be stored in this location. dll files
  126. will always be installed to the "bin" directory.
  127. --openssldir=DIR
  128. Directory for OpenSSL configuration files, and also the
  129. default certificate and key store. Defaults are:
  130. Unix: /usr/local/ssl
  131. Windows: C:\Program Files\Common Files\SSL
  132. or C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\SSL
  133. OpenVMS: SYS$COMMON:[OPENSSL-COMMON]
  134. --prefix=DIR
  135. The top of the installation directory tree. Defaults are:
  136. Unix: /usr/local
  137. Windows: C:\Program Files\OpenSSL
  138. or C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenSSL
  139. OpenVMS: SYS$COMMON:[OPENSSL-'version']
  140. --release
  141. Build OpenSSL without debugging symbols. This is the default.
  142. --strict-warnings
  143. This is a developer flag that switches on various compiler
  144. options recommended for OpenSSL development. It only works
  145. when using gcc or clang as the compiler. If you are
  146. developing a patch for OpenSSL then it is recommended that
  147. you use this option where possible.
  148. --with-zlib-include=DIR
  149. The directory for the location of the zlib include file. This
  150. option is only necessary if enable-zlib (see below) is used
  151. and the include file is not already on the system include
  152. path.
  153. --with-zlib-lib=LIB
  154. On Unix: this is the directory containing the zlib library.
  155. If not provided the system library path will be used.
  156. On Windows: this is the filename of the zlib library (with or
  157. without a path). This flag must be provided if the
  158. zlib-dynamic option is not also used. If zlib-dynamic is used
  159. then this flag is optional and a default value ("ZLIB1") is
  160. used if not provided.
  161. On VMS: this is the filename of the zlib library (with or
  162. without a path). This flag is optional and if not provided
  163. then "GNV$LIBZSHR", "GNV$LIBZSHR32" or "GNV$LIBZSHR64" is
  164. used by default depending on the pointer size chosen.
  165. --with-rand-seed=seed1[,seed2,...]
  166. A comma separated list of seeding methods which will be tried
  167. by OpenSSL in order to obtain random input (a.k.a "entropy")
  168. for seeding its cryptographically secure random number
  169. generator (CSPRNG). The current seeding methods are:
  170. os: Use a trusted operating system entropy source.
  171. This is the default method if such an entropy
  172. source exists.
  173. getrandom: Use the L<getrandom(2)> system call if available.
  174. devrandom: Use the the first device from the DEVRANDOM list
  175. which can be opened to read random bytes. The
  176. DEVRANDOM preprocessor constant expands to
  177. "/dev/urandom","/dev/random","/dev/srandom" on
  178. most unix-ish operating systems.
  179. egd: Check for an entropy generating daemon.
  180. rdcpu: Use the RDSEED or RDRAND command if provided by
  181. the CPU.
  182. librandom: Use librandom (not implemented yet).
  183. none: Disable automatic seeding. This is the default
  184. on some operating systems where no suitable
  185. entropy source exists, or no support for it is
  186. implemented yet.
  187. For more information, see the section 'Note on random number
  188. generation' at the end of this document.
  189. no-afalgeng
  190. Don't build the AFALG engine. This option will be forced if
  191. on a platform that does not support AFALG.
  192. enable-asan
  193. Build with the Address sanitiser. This is a developer option
  194. only. It may not work on all platforms and should never be
  195. used in production environments. It will only work when used
  196. with gcc or clang and should be used in conjunction with the
  197. no-shared option.
  198. no-asm
  199. Do not use assembler code. On some platforms a small amount
  200. of assembler code may still be used.
  201. no-async
  202. Do not build support for async operations.
  203. no-autoalginit
  204. Don't automatically load all supported ciphers and digests.
  205. Typically OpenSSL will make available all of its supported
  206. ciphers and digests. For a statically linked application this
  207. may be undesirable if small executable size is an objective.
  208. This only affects libcrypto. Ciphers and digests will have to
  209. be loaded manually using EVP_add_cipher() and
  210. EVP_add_digest() if this option is used. This option will
  211. force a non-shared build.
  212. no-autoerrinit
  213. Don't automatically load all libcrypto/libssl error strings.
  214. Typically OpenSSL will automatically load human readable
  215. error strings. For a statically linked application this may
  216. be undesirable if small executable size is an objective.
  217. no-capieng
  218. Don't build the CAPI engine. This option will be forced if
  219. on a platform that does not support CAPI.
  220. no-cms
  221. Don't build support for CMS features
  222. no-comp
  223. Don't build support for SSL/TLS compression. If this option
  224. is left enabled (the default), then compression will only
  225. work if the zlib or zlib-dynamic options are also chosen.
  226. enable-crypto-mdebug
  227. Build support for debugging memory allocated via
  228. OPENSSL_malloc() or OPENSSL_zalloc().
  229. enable-crypto-mdebug-backtrace
  230. As for crypto-mdebug, but additionally provide backtrace
  231. information for allocated memory.
  232. TO BE USED WITH CARE: this uses GNU C functionality, and
  233. is therefore not usable for non-GNU config targets. If
  234. your build complains about the use of '-rdynamic' or the
  235. lack of header file execinfo.h, this option is not for you.
  236. ALSO NOTE that even though execinfo.h is available on your
  237. system (through Gnulib), the functions might just be stubs
  238. that do nothing.
  239. no-ct
  240. Don't build support for Certificate Transparency.
  241. no-deprecated
  242. Don't build with support for any deprecated APIs. This is the
  243. same as using "--api" and supplying the latest version
  244. number.
  245. no-dgram
  246. Don't build support for datagram based BIOs. Selecting this
  247. option will also force the disabling of DTLS.
  248. no-dso
  249. Don't build support for loading Dynamic Shared Objects.
  250. no-dynamic-engine
  251. Don't build the dynamically loaded engines. This only has an
  252. effect in a "shared" build
  253. no-ec
  254. Don't build support for Elliptic Curves.
  255. no-ec2m
  256. Don't build support for binary Elliptic Curves
  257. enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128
  258. Enable support for optimised implementations of some commonly
  259. used NIST elliptic curves. This is only supported on some
  260. platforms.
  261. enable-egd
  262. Build support for gathering entropy from EGD (Entropy
  263. Gathering Daemon).
  264. no-engine
  265. Don't build support for loading engines.
  266. no-err
  267. Don't compile in any error strings.
  268. enable-external-tests
  269. Enable building of integration with external test suites.
  270. This is a developer option and may not work on all platforms.
  271. The only supported external test suite at the current time is
  272. the BoringSSL test suite. See the file test/README.external
  273. for further details.
  274. no-filenames
  275. Don't compile in filename and line number information (e.g.
  276. for errors and memory allocation).
  277. enable-fuzz-libfuzzer, enable-fuzz-afl
  278. Build with support for fuzzing using either libfuzzer or AFL.
  279. These are developer options only. They may not work on all
  280. platforms and should never be used in production environments.
  281. See the file fuzz/README.md for further details.
  282. no-gost
  283. Don't build support for GOST based ciphersuites. Note that
  284. if this feature is enabled then GOST ciphersuites are only
  285. available if the GOST algorithms are also available through
  286. loading an externally supplied engine.
  287. no-hw-padlock
  288. Don't build the padlock engine.
  289. no-makedepend
  290. Don't generate dependencies.
  291. no-multiblock
  292. Don't build support for writing multiple records in one
  293. go in libssl (Note: this is a different capability to the
  294. pipelining functionality).
  295. no-nextprotoneg
  296. Don't build support for the NPN TLS extension.
  297. no-ocsp
  298. Don't build support for OCSP.
  299. no-pic
  300. Don't build with support for Position Independent Code.
  301. no-posix-io
  302. Don't use POSIX IO capabilities.
  303. no-psk
  304. Don't build support for Pre-Shared Key based ciphersuites.
  305. no-rdrand
  306. Don't use hardware RDRAND capabilities.
  307. no-rfc3779
  308. Don't build support for RFC3779 ("X.509 Extensions for IP
  309. Addresses and AS Identifiers")
  310. sctp
  311. Build support for SCTP
  312. no-shared
  313. Do not create shared libraries, only static ones. See "Note
  314. on shared libraries" below.
  315. no-sock
  316. Don't build support for socket BIOs
  317. no-srp
  318. Don't build support for SRP or SRP based ciphersuites.
  319. no-srtp
  320. Don't build SRTP support
  321. no-sse2
  322. Exclude SSE2 code paths from 32-bit x86 assembly modules.
  323. Normally SSE2 extension is detected at run-time, but the
  324. decision whether or not the machine code will be executed
  325. is taken solely on CPU capability vector. This means that
  326. if you happen to run OS kernel which does not support SSE2
  327. extension on Intel P4 processor, then your application
  328. might be exposed to "illegal instruction" exception.
  329. There might be a way to enable support in kernel, e.g.
  330. FreeBSD kernel can be compiled with CPU_ENABLE_SSE, and
  331. there is a way to disengage SSE2 code paths upon application
  332. start-up, but if you aim for wider "audience" running
  333. such kernel, consider no-sse2. Both the 386 and
  334. no-asm options imply no-sse2.
  335. enable-ssl-trace
  336. Build with the SSL Trace capabilities (adds the "-trace"
  337. option to s_client and s_server).
  338. no-static-engine
  339. Don't build the statically linked engines. This only
  340. has an impact when not built "shared".
  341. no-stdio
  342. Don't use anything from the C header file "stdio.h" that
  343. makes use of the "FILE" type. Only libcrypto and libssl can
  344. be built in this way. Using this option will suppress
  345. building the command line applications. Additionally since
  346. the OpenSSL tests also use the command line applications the
  347. tests will also be skipped.
  348. no-tests
  349. Don't build test programs or run any test.
  350. no-threads
  351. Don't try to build with support for multi-threaded
  352. applications.
  353. threads
  354. Build with support for multi-threaded applications. Most
  355. platforms will enable this by default. However if on a
  356. platform where this is not the case then this will usually
  357. require additional system-dependent options! See "Note on
  358. multi-threading" below.
  359. enable-tls13downgrade
  360. TODO(TLS1.3): Make this enabled by default and remove the
  361. option when TLSv1.3 is out of draft
  362. TLSv1.3 offers a downgrade protection mechanism. This is
  363. implemented but disabled by default. It should not typically
  364. be enabled except for testing purposes. Otherwise this could
  365. cause problems if a pre-RFC version of OpenSSL talks to an
  366. RFC implementation (it will erroneously be detected as a
  367. downgrade).
  368. no-ts
  369. Don't build Time Stamping Authority support.
  370. enable-ubsan
  371. Build with the Undefined Behaviour sanitiser. This is a
  372. developer option only. It may not work on all platforms and
  373. should never be used in production environments. It will only
  374. work when used with gcc or clang and should be used in
  375. conjunction with the "-DPEDANTIC" option (or the
  376. --strict-warnings option).
  377. no-ui
  378. Don't build with the "UI" capability (i.e. the set of
  379. features enabling text based prompts).
  380. enable-unit-test
  381. Enable additional unit test APIs. This should not typically
  382. be used in production deployments.
  383. enable-weak-ssl-ciphers
  384. Build support for SSL/TLS ciphers that are considered "weak"
  385. (e.g. RC4 based ciphersuites).
  386. zlib
  387. Build with support for zlib compression/decompression.
  388. zlib-dynamic
  389. Like "zlib", but has OpenSSL load the zlib library
  390. dynamically when needed. This is only supported on systems
  391. where loading of shared libraries is supported.
  392. 386
  393. In 32-bit x86 builds, when generating assembly modules,
  394. use the 80386 instruction set only (the default x86 code
  395. is more efficient, but requires at least a 486). Note:
  396. This doesn't affect code generated by compiler, you're
  397. likely to complement configuration command line with
  398. suitable compiler-specific option.
  399. no-<prot>
  400. Don't build support for negotiating the specified SSL/TLS
  401. protocol (one of ssl, ssl3, tls, tls1, tls1_1, tls1_2,
  402. tls1_3, dtls, dtls1 or dtls1_2). If "no-tls" is selected then
  403. all of tls1, tls1_1, tls1_2 and tls1_3 are disabled.
  404. Similarly "no-dtls" will disable dtls1 and dtls1_2. The
  405. "no-ssl" option is synonymous with "no-ssl3". Note this only
  406. affects version negotiation. OpenSSL will still provide the
  407. methods for applications to explicitly select the individual
  408. protocol versions.
  409. no-<prot>-method
  410. As for no-<prot> but in addition do not build the methods for
  411. applications to explicitly select individual protocol
  412. versions. Note that there is no "no-tls1_3-method" option
  413. because there is no application method for TLSv1.3. Using
  414. individual protocol methods directly is deprecated.
  415. Applications should use TLS_method() instead.
  416. enable-<alg>
  417. Build with support for the specified algorithm, where <alg>
  418. is one of: md2 or rc5.
  419. no-<alg>
  420. Build without support for the specified algorithm, where
  421. <alg> is one of: aria, bf, blake2, camellia, cast, chacha,
  422. cmac, des, dh, dsa, ecdh, ecdsa, idea, md4, mdc2, ocb,
  423. poly1305, rc2, rc4, rmd160, scrypt, seed, siphash, sm3, sm4
  424. or whirlpool. The "ripemd" algorithm is deprecated and if
  425. used is synonymous with rmd160.
  426. -Dxxx, -Ixxx, -Wp, -lxxx, -Lxxx, -Wl, -rpath, -R, -framework, -static
  427. These system specific options will be recognised and
  428. passed through to the compiler to allow you to define
  429. preprocessor symbols, specify additional libraries, library
  430. directories or other compiler options. It might be worth
  431. noting that some compilers generate code specifically for
  432. processor the compiler currently executes on. This is not
  433. necessarily what you might have in mind, since it might be
  434. unsuitable for execution on other, typically older,
  435. processor. Consult your compiler documentation.
  436. Take note of the VAR=value documentation below and how
  437. these flags interact with those variables.
  438. -xxx, +xxx
  439. Additional options that are not otherwise recognised are
  440. passed through as they are to the compiler as well. Again,
  441. consult your compiler documentation.
  442. Take note of the VAR=value documentation below and how
  443. these flags interact with those variables.
  444. VAR=value
  445. Assignment of environment variable for Configure. These
  446. work just like normal environment variable assignments,
  447. but are supported on all platforms and are confined to
  448. the configuration scripts only. These assignments override
  449. the corresponding value in the inherited environment, if
  450. there is one.
  451. The following variables are used as "make variables" and
  452. can be used as an alternative to giving preprocessor,
  453. compiler and linker options directly as configuration.
  454. The following variables are supported:
  455. AR The static library archiver.
  456. ARFLAGS Flags for the static library archiver.
  457. AS The assembler compiler.
  458. ASFLAGS Flags for the assembler compiler.
  459. CC The C compiler.
  460. CFLAGS Flags for the C compiler.
  461. CXX The C++ compiler.
  462. CXXFLAGS Flags for the C++ compiler.
  463. CPP The C/C++ preprocessor.
  464. CPPFLAGS Flags for the C/C++ preprocessor.
  465. CPPDEFINES List of CPP macro definitions, separated
  466. by a platform specific character (':' or
  467. space for Unix, ';' for Windows, ',' for
  468. VMS). This can be used instead of using
  469. -D (or what corresponds to that on your
  470. compiler) in CPPFLAGS.
  471. CPPINCLUDES List of CPP inclusion directories, separated
  472. the same way as for CPPDEFINES. This can
  473. be used instead of -I (or what corresponds
  474. to that on your compiler) in CPPFLAGS.
  475. HASHBANGPERL Perl invocation to be inserted after '#!'
  476. in public perl scripts (only relevant on
  477. Unix).
  478. LD The program linker (not used on Unix, $(CC)
  479. is used there).
  480. LDFLAGS Flags for the shared library, DSO and
  481. program linker.
  482. LDLIBS Extra libraries to use when linking.
  483. Takes the form of a space separated list
  484. of library specifications on Unix and
  485. Windows, and as a comma separated list of
  486. libraries on VMS.
  487. RANLIB The library archive indexer.
  488. RC The Windows resources manipulator.
  489. RCFLAGS Flags for the Windows reources manipulator.
  490. RM The command to remove files and directories.
  491. These cannot be mixed with compiling / linking flags given
  492. on the command line. In other words, something like this
  493. isn't permitted.
  494. ./config -DFOO CPPFLAGS=-DBAR -DCOOKIE
  495. Backward compatibility note:
  496. To be compatible with older configuration scripts, the
  497. environment variables are ignored if compiling / linking
  498. flags are given on the command line, except for these:
  499. AR, CC, CXX, CROSS_COMPILE, HASHBANGPERL, PERL, RANLIB, RC
  500. and WINDRES
  501. For example, the following command will not see -DBAR:
  502. CPPFLAGS=-DBAR ./config -DCOOKIE
  503. However, the following will see both set variables:
  504. CC=gcc CROSS_COMPILE=x86_64-w64-mingw32- \
  505. ./config -DCOOKIE
  506. reconf
  507. reconfigure
  508. Reconfigure from earlier data. This fetches the previous
  509. command line options and environment from data saved in
  510. "configdata.pm", and runs the configuration process again,
  511. using these options and environment.
  512. Note: NO other option is permitted together with "reconf".
  513. This means that you also MUST use "./Configure" (or
  514. what corresponds to that on non-Unix platforms) directly
  515. to invoke this option.
  516. Note: The original configuration saves away values for ALL
  517. environment variables that were used, and if they weren't
  518. defined, they are still saved away with information that
  519. they weren't originally defined. This information takes
  520. precedence over environment variables that are defined
  521. when reconfiguring.
  522. Displaying configuration data
  523. -----------------------------
  524. The configuration script itself will say very little, and finishes by
  525. creating "configdata.pm". This perl module can be loaded by other scripts
  526. to find all the configuration data, and it can also be used as a script to
  527. display all sorts of configuration data in a human readable form.
  528. For more information, please do:
  529. $ ./configdata.pm --help # Unix
  530. or
  531. $ perl configdata.pm --help # Windows and VMS
  532. Installation in Detail
  533. ----------------------
  534. 1a. Configure OpenSSL for your operation system automatically:
  535. NOTE: This is not available on Windows.
  536. $ ./config [[ options ]] # Unix
  537. or
  538. $ @config [[ options ]] ! OpenVMS
  539. For the remainder of this text, the Unix form will be used in all
  540. examples, please use the appropriate form for your platform.
  541. This guesses at your operating system (and compiler, if necessary) and
  542. configures OpenSSL based on this guess. Run ./config -t to see
  543. if it guessed correctly. If you want to use a different compiler, you
  544. are cross-compiling for another platform, or the ./config guess was
  545. wrong for other reasons, go to step 1b. Otherwise go to step 2.
  546. On some systems, you can include debugging information as follows:
  547. $ ./config -d [[ options ]]
  548. 1b. Configure OpenSSL for your operating system manually
  549. OpenSSL knows about a range of different operating system, hardware and
  550. compiler combinations. To see the ones it knows about, run
  551. $ ./Configure # Unix
  552. or
  553. $ perl Configure # All other platforms
  554. For the remainder of this text, the Unix form will be used in all
  555. examples, please use the appropriate form for your platform.
  556. Pick a suitable name from the list that matches your system. For most
  557. operating systems there is a choice between using "cc" or "gcc". When
  558. you have identified your system (and if necessary compiler) use this name
  559. as the argument to Configure. For example, a "linux-elf" user would
  560. run:
  561. $ ./Configure linux-elf [[ options ]]
  562. If your system isn't listed, you will have to create a configuration
  563. file named Configurations/{{ something }}.conf and add the correct
  564. configuration for your system. See the available configs as examples
  565. and read Configurations/README and Configurations/README.design for
  566. more information.
  567. The generic configurations "cc" or "gcc" should usually work on 32 bit
  568. Unix-like systems.
  569. Configure creates a build file ("Makefile" on Unix, "makefile" on Windows
  570. and "descrip.mms" on OpenVMS) from a suitable template in Configurations,
  571. and defines various macros in include/openssl/opensslconf.h (generated from
  572. include/openssl/opensslconf.h.in).
  573. 1c. Configure OpenSSL for building outside of the source tree.
  574. OpenSSL can be configured to build in a build directory separate from
  575. the directory with the source code. It's done by placing yourself in
  576. some other directory and invoking the configuration commands from
  577. there.
  578. Unix example:
  579. $ mkdir /var/tmp/openssl-build
  580. $ cd /var/tmp/openssl-build
  581. $ /PATH/TO/OPENSSL/SOURCE/config [[ options ]]
  582. or
  583. $ /PATH/TO/OPENSSL/SOURCE/Configure {{ target }} [[ options ]]
  584. OpenVMS example:
  585. $ set default sys$login:
  586. $ create/dir [.tmp.openssl-build]
  587. $ set default [.tmp.openssl-build]
  588. $ @[PATH.TO.OPENSSL.SOURCE]config [[ options ]]
  589. or
  590. $ @[PATH.TO.OPENSSL.SOURCE]Configure {{ target }} [[ options ]]
  591. Windows example:
  592. $ C:
  593. $ mkdir \temp-openssl
  594. $ cd \temp-openssl
  595. $ perl d:\PATH\TO\OPENSSL\SOURCE\Configure {{ target }} [[ options ]]
  596. Paths can be relative just as well as absolute. Configure will
  597. do its best to translate them to relative paths whenever possible.
  598. 2. Build OpenSSL by running:
  599. $ make # Unix
  600. $ mms ! (or mmk) OpenVMS
  601. $ nmake # Windows
  602. This will build the OpenSSL libraries (libcrypto.a and libssl.a on
  603. Unix, corresponding on other platforms) and the OpenSSL binary
  604. ("openssl"). The libraries will be built in the top-level directory,
  605. and the binary will be in the "apps" subdirectory.
  606. Troubleshooting:
  607. If the build fails, look at the output. There may be reasons
  608. for the failure that aren't problems in OpenSSL itself (like
  609. missing standard headers).
  610. If the build succeeded previously, but fails after a source or
  611. configuration change, it might be helpful to clean the build tree
  612. before attempting another build. Use this command:
  613. $ make clean # Unix
  614. $ mms clean ! (or mmk) OpenVMS
  615. $ nmake clean # Windows
  616. Assembler error messages can sometimes be sidestepped by using the
  617. "no-asm" configuration option.
  618. Compiling parts of OpenSSL with gcc and others with the system
  619. compiler will result in unresolved symbols on some systems.
  620. If you are still having problems you can get help by sending an email
  621. to the openssl-users email list (see
  622. https://www.openssl.org/community/mailinglists.html for details). If
  623. it is a bug with OpenSSL itself, please open an issue on GitHub, at
  624. https://github.com/openssl/openssl/issues. Please review the existing
  625. ones first; maybe the bug was already reported or has already been
  626. fixed.
  627. 3. After a successful build, the libraries should be tested. Run:
  628. $ make test # Unix
  629. $ mms test ! OpenVMS
  630. $ nmake test # Windows
  631. NOTE: you MUST run the tests from an unprivileged account (or
  632. disable your privileges temporarily if your platform allows it).
  633. If some tests fail, look at the output. There may be reasons for
  634. the failure that isn't a problem in OpenSSL itself (like a
  635. malfunction with Perl). You may want increased verbosity, that
  636. can be accomplished like this:
  637. $ make VERBOSE=1 test # Unix
  638. $ mms /macro=(VERBOSE=1) test ! OpenVMS
  639. $ nmake VERBOSE=1 test # Windows
  640. If you want to run just one or a few specific tests, you can use
  641. the make variable TESTS to specify them, like this:
  642. $ make TESTS='test_rsa test_dsa' test # Unix
  643. $ mms/macro="TESTS=test_rsa test_dsa" test ! OpenVMS
  644. $ nmake TESTS='test_rsa test_dsa' test # Windows
  645. And of course, you can combine (Unix example shown):
  646. $ make VERBOSE=1 TESTS='test_rsa test_dsa' test
  647. You can find the list of available tests like this:
  648. $ make list-tests # Unix
  649. $ mms list-tests ! OpenVMS
  650. $ nmake list-tests # Windows
  651. Have a look at the manual for the perl module Test::Harness to
  652. see what other HARNESS_* variables there are.
  653. If you find a problem with OpenSSL itself, try removing any
  654. compiler optimization flags from the CFLAGS line in Makefile and
  655. run "make clean; make" or corresponding.
  656. To report a bug please open an issue on GitHub, at
  657. https://github.com/openssl/openssl/issues.
  658. For more details on how the make variables TESTS can be used,
  659. see section TESTS in Detail below.
  660. 4. If everything tests ok, install OpenSSL with
  661. $ make install # Unix
  662. $ mms install ! OpenVMS
  663. $ nmake install # Windows
  664. This will install all the software components in this directory
  665. tree under PREFIX (the directory given with --prefix or its
  666. default):
  667. Unix:
  668. bin/ Contains the openssl binary and a few other
  669. utility scripts.
  670. include/openssl
  671. Contains the header files needed if you want
  672. to build your own programs that use libcrypto
  673. or libssl.
  674. lib Contains the OpenSSL library files.
  675. lib/engines Contains the OpenSSL dynamically loadable engines.
  676. share/man/man1 Contains the OpenSSL command line man-pages.
  677. share/man/man3 Contains the OpenSSL library calls man-pages.
  678. share/man/man5 Contains the OpenSSL configuration format man-pages.
  679. share/man/man7 Contains the OpenSSL other misc man-pages.
  680. share/doc/openssl/html/man1
  681. share/doc/openssl/html/man3
  682. share/doc/openssl/html/man5
  683. share/doc/openssl/html/man7
  684. Contains the HTML rendition of the man-pages.
  685. OpenVMS ('arch' is replaced with the architecture name, "Alpha"
  686. or "ia64", 'sover' is replaced with the shared library version
  687. (0101 for 1.1), and 'pz' is replaced with the pointer size
  688. OpenSSL was built with):
  689. [.EXE.'arch'] Contains the openssl binary.
  690. [.EXE] Contains a few utility scripts.
  691. [.include.openssl]
  692. Contains the header files needed if you want
  693. to build your own programs that use libcrypto
  694. or libssl.
  695. [.LIB.'arch'] Contains the OpenSSL library files.
  696. [.ENGINES'sover''pz'.'arch']
  697. Contains the OpenSSL dynamically loadable engines.
  698. [.SYS$STARTUP] Contains startup, login and shutdown scripts.
  699. These define appropriate logical names and
  700. command symbols.
  701. [.SYSTEST] Contains the installation verification procedure.
  702. [.HTML] Contains the HTML rendition of the manual pages.
  703. Additionally, install will add the following directories under
  704. OPENSSLDIR (the directory given with --openssldir or its default)
  705. for you convenience:
  706. certs Initially empty, this is the default location
  707. for certificate files.
  708. private Initially empty, this is the default location
  709. for private key files.
  710. misc Various scripts.
  711. Package builders who want to configure the library for standard
  712. locations, but have the package installed somewhere else so that
  713. it can easily be packaged, can use
  714. $ make DESTDIR=/tmp/package-root install # Unix
  715. $ mms/macro="DESTDIR=TMP:[PACKAGE-ROOT]" install ! OpenVMS
  716. The specified destination directory will be prepended to all
  717. installation target paths.
  718. Compatibility issues with previous OpenSSL versions:
  719. * COMPILING existing applications
  720. OpenSSL 1.1.0 hides a number of structures that were previously
  721. open. This includes all internal libssl structures and a number
  722. of EVP types. Accessor functions have been added to allow
  723. controlled access to the structures' data.
  724. This means that some software needs to be rewritten to adapt to
  725. the new ways of doing things. This often amounts to allocating
  726. an instance of a structure explicitly where you could previously
  727. allocate them on the stack as automatic variables, and using the
  728. provided accessor functions where you would previously access a
  729. structure's field directly.
  730. Some APIs have changed as well. However, older APIs have been
  731. preserved when possible.
  732. Environment Variables
  733. ---------------------
  734. A number of environment variables can be used to provide additional control
  735. over the build process. Typically these should be defined prior to running
  736. config or Configure. Not all environment variables are relevant to all
  737. platforms.
  738. AR
  739. The name of the ar executable to use.
  740. BUILDFILE
  741. Use a different build file name than the platform default
  742. ("Makefile" on Unixly platforms, "makefile" on native Windows,
  743. "descrip.mms" on OpenVMS). This requires that there is a
  744. corresponding build file template. See Configurations/README
  745. for further information.
  746. CC
  747. The compiler to use. Configure will attempt to pick a default
  748. compiler for your platform but this choice can be overridden
  749. using this variable. Set it to the compiler executable you wish
  750. to use, e.g. "gcc" or "clang".
  751. CROSS_COMPILE
  752. This environment variable has the same meaning as for the
  753. "--cross-compile-prefix" Configure flag described above. If both
  754. are set then the Configure flag takes precedence.
  755. NM
  756. The name of the nm executable to use.
  757. OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR
  758. OpenSSL comes with a database of information about how it
  759. should be built on different platforms as well as build file
  760. templates for those platforms. The database is comprised of
  761. ".conf" files in the Configurations directory. The build
  762. file templates reside there as well as ".tmpl" files. See the
  763. file Configurations/README for further information about the
  764. format of ".conf" files as well as information on the ".tmpl"
  765. files.
  766. In addition to the standard ".conf" and ".tmpl" files, it is
  767. possible to create your own ".conf" and ".tmpl" files and store
  768. them locally, outside the OpenSSL source tree. This environment
  769. variable can be set to the directory where these files are held
  770. and will be considered by Configure before it looks in the
  771. standard directories.
  772. PERL
  773. The name of the Perl executable to use when building OpenSSL.
  774. This variable is used in config script only. Configure on the
  775. other hand imposes the interpreter by which it itself was
  776. executed on the whole build procedure.
  777. HASHBANGPERL
  778. The command string for the Perl executable to insert in the
  779. #! line of perl scripts that will be publically installed.
  780. Default: /usr/bin/env perl
  781. Note: the value of this variable is added to the same scripts
  782. on all platforms, but it's only relevant on Unix-like platforms.
  783. RC
  784. The name of the rc executable to use. The default will be as
  785. defined for the target platform in the ".conf" file. If not
  786. defined then "windres" will be used. The WINDRES environment
  787. variable is synonymous to this. If both are defined then RC
  788. takes precedence.
  789. RANLIB
  790. The name of the ranlib executable to use.
  791. WINDRES
  792. See RC.
  793. Makefile targets
  794. ----------------
  795. The Configure script generates a Makefile in a format relevant to the specific
  796. platform. The Makefiles provide a number of targets that can be used. Not all
  797. targets may be available on all platforms. Only the most common targets are
  798. described here. Examine the Makefiles themselves for the full list.
  799. all
  800. The default target to build all the software components.
  801. clean
  802. Remove all build artefacts and return the directory to a "clean"
  803. state.
  804. depend
  805. Rebuild the dependencies in the Makefiles. This is a legacy
  806. option that no longer needs to be used in OpenSSL 1.1.0.
  807. install
  808. Install all OpenSSL components.
  809. install_sw
  810. Only install the OpenSSL software components.
  811. install_docs
  812. Only install the OpenSSL documentation components.
  813. install_man_docs
  814. Only install the OpenSSL man pages (Unix only).
  815. install_html_docs
  816. Only install the OpenSSL html documentation.
  817. list-tests
  818. Prints a list of all the self test names.
  819. test
  820. Build and run the OpenSSL self tests.
  821. uninstall
  822. Uninstall all OpenSSL components.
  823. reconfigure
  824. reconf
  825. Re-run the configuration process, as exactly as the last time
  826. as possible.
  827. update
  828. This is a developer option. If you are developing a patch for
  829. OpenSSL you may need to use this if you want to update
  830. automatically generated files; add new error codes or add new
  831. (or change the visibility of) public API functions. (Unix only).
  832. TESTS in Detail
  833. ---------------
  834. The make variable TESTS supports a versatile set of space separated tokens
  835. with which you can specify a set of tests to be performed. With a "current
  836. set of tests" in mind, initially being empty, here are the possible tokens:
  837. alltests The current set of tests becomes the whole set of available
  838. tests (as listed when you do 'make list-tests' or similar).
  839. xxx Adds the test 'xxx' to the current set of tests.
  840. -xxx Removes 'xxx' from the current set of tests. If this is the
  841. first token in the list, the current set of tests is first
  842. assigned the whole set of available tests, effectively making
  843. this token equivalent to TESTS="alltests -xxx".
  844. nn Adds the test group 'nn' (which is a number) to the current
  845. set of tests.
  846. -nn Removes the test group 'nn' from the current set of tests.
  847. If this is the first token in the list, the current set of
  848. tests is first assigned the whole set of available tests,
  849. effectively making this token equivalent to
  850. TESTS="alltests -xxx".
  851. Also, all tokens except for "alltests" may have wildcards, such as *.
  852. (on Unix and Windows, BSD style wildcards are supported, while on VMS,
  853. it's VMS style wildcards)
  854. Example: All tests except for the fuzz tests:
  855. $ make TESTS=-test_fuzz test
  856. or (if you want to be explicit)
  857. $ make TESTS='alltests -test_fuzz' test
  858. Example: All tests that have a name starting with "test_ssl" but not those
  859. starting with "test_ssl_":
  860. $ make TESTS='test_ssl* -test_ssl_*' test
  861. Example: Only test group 10:
  862. $ make TESTS='10'
  863. Example: All tests except the slow group (group 99):
  864. $ make TESTS='-99'
  865. Example: All tests in test groups 80 to 99 except for tests in group 90:
  866. $ make TESTS='[89]? -90'
  867. Note on multi-threading
  868. -----------------------
  869. For some systems, the OpenSSL Configure script knows what compiler options
  870. are needed to generate a library that is suitable for multi-threaded
  871. applications. On these systems, support for multi-threading is enabled
  872. by default; use the "no-threads" option to disable (this should never be
  873. necessary).
  874. On other systems, to enable support for multi-threading, you will have
  875. to specify at least two options: "threads", and a system-dependent option.
  876. (The latter is "-D_REENTRANT" on various systems.) The default in this
  877. case, obviously, is not to include support for multi-threading (but
  878. you can still use "no-threads" to suppress an annoying warning message
  879. from the Configure script.)
  880. OpenSSL provides built-in support for two threading models: pthreads (found on
  881. most UNIX/Linux systems), and Windows threads. No other threading models are
  882. supported. If your platform does not provide pthreads or Windows threads then
  883. you should Configure with the "no-threads" option.
  884. Notes on shared libraries
  885. -------------------------
  886. For most systems the OpenSSL Configure script knows what is needed to
  887. build shared libraries for libcrypto and libssl. On these systems
  888. the shared libraries will be created by default. This can be suppressed and
  889. only static libraries created by using the "no-shared" option. On systems
  890. where OpenSSL does not know how to build shared libraries the "no-shared"
  891. option will be forced and only static libraries will be created.
  892. Shared libraries are named a little differently on different platforms.
  893. One way or another, they all have the major OpenSSL version number as
  894. part of the file name, i.e. for OpenSSL 1.1.x, 1.1 is somehow part of
  895. the name.
  896. On most POSIXly platforms, shared libraries are named libcrypto.so.1.1
  897. and libssl.so.1.1.
  898. on Cygwin, shared libraries are named cygcrypto-1.1.dll and cygssl-1.1.dll
  899. with import libraries libcrypto.dll.a and libssl.dll.a.
  900. On Windows build with MSVC or using MingW, shared libraries are named
  901. libcrypto-1_1.dll and libssl-1_1.dll for 32-bit Windows, libcrypto-1_1-x64.dll
  902. and libssl-1_1-x64.dll for 64-bit x86_64 Windows, and libcrypto-1_1-ia64.dll
  903. and libssl-1_1-ia64.dll for IA64 Windows. With MSVC, the import libraries
  904. are named libcrypto.lib and libssl.lib, while with MingW, they are named
  905. libcrypto.dll.a and libssl.dll.a.
  906. On VMS, shareable images (VMS speak for shared libraries) are named
  907. ossl$libcrypto0101_shr.exe and ossl$libssl0101_shr.exe. However, when
  908. OpenSSL is specifically built for 32-bit pointers, the shareable images
  909. are named ossl$libcrypto0101_shr32.exe and ossl$libssl0101_shr32.exe
  910. instead, and when built for 64-bit pointers, they are named
  911. ossl$libcrypto0101_shr64.exe and ossl$libssl0101_shr64.exe.
  912. Note on random number generation
  913. --------------------------------
  914. Availability of cryptographically secure random numbers is required for
  915. secret key generation. OpenSSL provides several options to seed the
  916. internal CSPRNG. If not properly seeded, the internal CSPRNG will refuse
  917. to deliver random bytes and a "PRNG not seeded error" will occur.
  918. The seeding method can be configured using the --with-rand-seed option,
  919. which can be used to specify a comma separated list of seed methods.
  920. However in most cases OpenSSL will choose a suitable default method,
  921. so it is not necessary to explicitely provide this option. Note also
  922. that not all methods are available on all platforms.
  923. I) On operating systems which provide a suitable randomness source (in
  924. form of a system call or system device), OpenSSL will use the optimal
  925. available method to seed the CSPRNG from the operating system's
  926. randomness sources. This corresponds to the option --with-rand-seed=os.
  927. II) On systems without such a suitable randomness source, automatic seeding
  928. and reseeding is disabled (--with-rand-seed=none) and it may be necessary
  929. to install additional support software to obtain a random seed and reseed
  930. the CSPRNG manually. Please check out the manual pages for RAND_add(),
  931. RAND_bytes(), RAND_egd(), and the FAQ for more information.
