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