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