1 | OPENSSL INSTALLATION
|
---|
2 | --------------------
|
---|
3 |
|
---|
4 | This document describes installation on all supported operating
|
---|
5 | systems (the Unix/Linux family (which includes Mac OS/X), OpenVMS,
|
---|
6 | and Windows).
|
---|
7 |
|
---|
8 | To install OpenSSL, you will need:
|
---|
9 |
|
---|
10 | * A make implementation
|
---|
11 | * Perl 5 with core modules (please read NOTES.PERL)
|
---|
12 | * The perl module Text::Template (please read NOTES.PERL)
|
---|
13 | * an ANSI C compiler
|
---|
14 | * a development environment in the form of development libraries and C
|
---|
15 | header files
|
---|
16 | * a supported operating system
|
---|
17 |
|
---|
18 | For additional platform specific requirements, solutions to specific
|
---|
19 | issues and other details, please read one of these:
|
---|
20 |
|
---|
21 | * NOTES.UNIX (any supported Unix like system)
|
---|
22 | * NOTES.VMS (OpenVMS)
|
---|
23 | * NOTES.WIN (any supported Windows)
|
---|
24 | * NOTES.DJGPP (DOS platform with DJGPP)
|
---|
25 | * NOTES.ANDROID (obviously Android [NDK])
|
---|

|
---|
27 | Notational conventions in this document
|
---|
28 | ---------------------------------------
|
---|
29 |
|
---|
30 | Throughout this document, we use the following conventions in command
|
---|
31 | examples:
|
---|
32 |
|
---|
33 | $ command Any line starting with a dollar sign
|
---|
34 | ($) is a command line.
|
---|
35 |
|
---|
36 | { word1 | word2 | word3 } This denotes a mandatory choice, to be
|
---|
37 | replaced with one of the given words.
|
---|
38 | A simple example would be this:
|
---|
39 |
|
---|
40 | $ echo { FOO | BAR | COOKIE }
|
---|
41 |
|
---|
42 | which is to be understood as one of
|
---|
43 | these:
|
---|
44 |
|
---|
45 | $ echo FOO
|
---|
46 | - or -
|
---|
47 | $ echo BAR
|
---|
48 | - or -
|
---|
49 | $ echo COOKIE
|
---|
50 |
|
---|
51 | [ word1 | word2 | word3 ] Similar to { word1 | word2 | word3 }
|
---|
52 | except it's optional to give any of
|
---|
53 | those. In addition to the examples
|
---|
54 | above, this would also be valid:
|
---|
55 |
|
---|
56 | $ echo
|
---|
57 |
|
---|
58 | {{ target }} This denotes a mandatory word or
|
---|
59 | sequence of words of some sort. A
|
---|
60 | simple example would be this:
|
---|
61 |
|
---|
62 | $ type {{ filename }}
|
---|
63 |
|
---|
64 | which is to be understood to use the
|
---|
65 | command 'type' on some file name
|
---|
66 | determined by the user.
|
---|
67 |
|
---|
68 | [[ options ]] Similar to {{ target }}, but is
|
---|
69 | optional.
|
---|
70 |
|
---|
71 | Note that the notation assumes spaces around {, }, [, ], {{, }} and
|
---|
72 | [[, ]]. This is to differentiate from OpenVMS directory
|
---|
73 | specifications, which also use [ and ], but without spaces.
|
---|
74 |
|
---|
75 | Quick Start
|
---|
76 | -----------
|
---|
77 |
|
---|
78 | If you want to just get on with it, do:
|
---|
79 |
|
---|
80 | on Unix (again, this includes Mac OS/X):
|
---|
81 |
|
---|
82 | $ ./config
|
---|
83 | $ make
|
---|
84 | $ make test
|
---|
85 | $ make install
|
---|
86 |
|
---|
87 | on OpenVMS:
|
---|
88 |
|
---|
89 | $ @config
|
---|
90 | $ mms
|
---|
91 | $ mms test
|
---|
92 | $ mms install
|
---|
93 |
|
---|
94 | on Windows (only pick one of the targets for configuration):
|
---|
95 |
|
---|
96 | $ perl Configure { VC-WIN32 | VC-WIN64A | VC-WIN64I | VC-CE }
|
---|
97 | $ nmake
|
---|
98 | $ nmake test
|
---|
99 | $ nmake install
|
---|
100 |
|
---|
101 | Note that in order to perform the install step above you need to have
|
---|
102 | appropriate permissions to write to the installation directory.
|
---|
103 |
|
---|
104 | If any of these steps fails, see section Installation in Detail below.
|
---|
105 |
|
---|
106 | This will build and install OpenSSL in the default location, which is:
|
---|
107 |
|
---|
108 | Unix: normal installation directories under /usr/local
|
---|
109 | OpenVMS: SYS$COMMON:[OPENSSL-'version'...], where 'version' is the
|
---|
110 | OpenSSL version number with underscores instead of periods.
|
---|
111 | Windows: C:\Program Files\OpenSSL or C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenSSL
|
---|
112 |
|
---|
113 | The installation directory should be appropriately protected to ensure
|
---|
114 | unprivileged users cannot make changes to OpenSSL binaries or files, or install
|
---|
115 | engines. If you already have a pre-installed version of OpenSSL as part of
|
---|
116 | your Operating System it is recommended that you do not overwrite the system
|
---|
117 | version and instead install to somewhere else.
|
---|
118 |
|
---|
119 | If you want to install it anywhere else, run config like this:
|
---|
120 |
|
---|
121 | On Unix:
|
---|
122 |
|
---|
123 | $ ./config --prefix=/opt/openssl --openssldir=/usr/local/ssl
|
---|
124 |
|
---|
125 | On OpenVMS:
|
---|
126 |
|
---|
127 | $ @config --prefix=PROGRAM:[INSTALLS] --openssldir=SYS$MANAGER:[OPENSSL]
|
---|
128 |
|
---|
129 | (Note: if you do add options to the configuration command, please make sure
|
---|
130 | you've read more than just this Quick Start, such as relevant NOTES.* files,
|
---|
131 | the options outline below, as configuration options may change the outcome
|
---|
132 | in otherwise unexpected ways)
|
---|
133 |
|
---|
134 |
|
---|
135 | Configuration Options
|
---|
136 | ---------------------
|
---|
137 |
|
---|
138 | There are several options to ./config (or ./Configure) to customize
|
---|
139 | the build (note that for Windows, the defaults for --prefix and
|
---|
140 | --openssldir depend in what configuration is used and what Windows
|
---|
141 | implementation OpenSSL is built on. More notes on this in NOTES.WIN):
|
---|
142 |
|
---|
143 | --api=x.y.z
|
---|
144 | Don't build with support for deprecated APIs below the
|
---|
145 | specified version number. For example "--api=1.1.0" will
|
---|
146 | remove support for all APIS that were deprecated in OpenSSL
|
---|
147 | version 1.1.0 or below. This is a rather specialized option
|
---|
148 | for developers. If you just intend to remove all deprecated
|
---|
149 | APIs entirely (up to the current version), it is easier
|
---|
150 | to add the 'no-deprecated' option instead (see below).
|
---|
151 |
|
---|
152 | --cross-compile-prefix=PREFIX
|
---|
153 | The PREFIX to include in front of commands for your
|
---|
154 | toolchain. It's likely to have to end with dash, e.g.
|
---|
155 | a-b-c- would invoke GNU compiler as a-b-c-gcc, etc.
|
---|
156 | Unfortunately cross-compiling is too case-specific to
|
---|
157 | put together one-size-fits-all instructions. You might
|
---|
158 | have to pass more flags or set up environment variables
|
---|
159 | to actually make it work. Android and iOS cases are
|
---|
160 | discussed in corresponding Configurations/15-*.conf
|
---|
161 | files. But there are cases when this option alone is
|
---|
162 | sufficient. For example to build the mingw64 target on
|
---|
163 | Linux "--cross-compile-prefix=x86_64-w64-mingw32-"
|
---|
164 | works. Naturally provided that mingw packages are
|
---|
165 | installed. Today Debian and Ubuntu users have option to
|
---|
166 | install a number of prepackaged cross-compilers along
|
---|
167 | with corresponding run-time and development packages for
|
---|
168 | "alien" hardware. To give another example
|
---|
169 | "--cross-compile-prefix=mipsel-linux-gnu-" suffices
|
---|
170 | in such case. Needless to mention that you have to
|
---|
171 | invoke ./Configure, not ./config, and pass your target
|
---|
172 | name explicitly. Also, note that --openssldir refers
|
---|
173 | to target's file system, not one you are building on.
|
---|
174 |
|
---|
175 | --debug
|
---|
176 | Build OpenSSL with debugging symbols and zero optimization
|
---|
177 | level.
|
---|
178 |
|
---|
179 | --libdir=DIR
|
---|
180 | The name of the directory under the top of the installation
|
---|
181 | directory tree (see the --prefix option) where libraries will
|
---|
182 | be installed. By default this is "lib". Note that on Windows
|
---|
183 | only ".lib" files will be stored in this location. dll files
|
---|
184 | will always be installed to the "bin" directory.
|
---|
185 |
|
---|
186 | --openssldir=DIR
|
---|
187 | Directory for OpenSSL configuration files, and also the
|
---|
188 | default certificate and key store. Defaults are:
|
---|
189 |
|
---|
190 | Unix: /usr/local/ssl
|
---|
191 | Windows: C:\Program Files\Common Files\SSL
|
---|
192 | or C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\SSL
|
---|
193 | OpenVMS: SYS$COMMON:[OPENSSL-COMMON]
|
---|
194 |
|
---|
195 | --prefix=DIR
|
---|
196 | The top of the installation directory tree. Defaults are:
|
---|
197 |
|
---|
198 | Unix: /usr/local
|
---|
199 | Windows: C:\Program Files\OpenSSL
|
---|
200 | or C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenSSL
|
---|
201 | OpenVMS: SYS$COMMON:[OPENSSL-'version']
|
---|
202 |
|
---|
203 | --release
|
---|
204 | Build OpenSSL without debugging symbols. This is the default.
|
---|
205 |
|
---|
206 | --strict-warnings
|
---|
207 | This is a developer flag that switches on various compiler
|
---|
208 | options recommended for OpenSSL development. It only works
|
---|
209 | when using gcc or clang as the compiler. If you are
|
---|
210 | developing a patch for OpenSSL then it is recommended that
|
---|
211 | you use this option where possible.
|
---|
212 |
|
---|
213 | --with-zlib-include=DIR
|
---|
214 | The directory for the location of the zlib include file. This
|
---|
215 | option is only necessary if enable-zlib (see below) is used
|
---|
216 | and the include file is not already on the system include
|
---|
217 | path.
|
---|
218 |
|
---|
219 | --with-zlib-lib=LIB
|
---|
220 | On Unix: this is the directory containing the zlib library.
|
---|
221 | If not provided the system library path will be used.
|
---|
222 | On Windows: this is the filename of the zlib library (with or
|
---|
223 | without a path). This flag must be provided if the
|
---|
224 | zlib-dynamic option is not also used. If zlib-dynamic is used
|
---|
225 | then this flag is optional and a default value ("ZLIB1") is
|
---|
226 | used if not provided.
|
---|
227 | On VMS: this is the filename of the zlib library (with or
|
---|
228 | without a path). This flag is optional and if not provided
|
---|
229 | then "GNV$LIBZSHR", "GNV$LIBZSHR32" or "GNV$LIBZSHR64" is
|
---|
230 | used by default depending on the pointer size chosen.
|
---|
231 |
|
---|
232 |
|
---|
233 | --with-rand-seed=seed1[,seed2,...]
|
---|
234 | A comma separated list of seeding methods which will be tried
|
---|
235 | by OpenSSL in order to obtain random input (a.k.a "entropy")
|
---|
236 | for seeding its cryptographically secure random number
|
---|
237 | generator (CSPRNG). The current seeding methods are:
|
---|
238 |
|
---|
239 | os: Use a trusted operating system entropy source.
|
---|
240 | This is the default method if such an entropy
|
---|
241 | source exists.
|
---|
242 | getrandom: Use the L<getrandom(2)> or equivalent system
|
---|
243 | call.
|
---|
244 | devrandom: Use the first device from the DEVRANDOM list
|
---|
245 | which can be opened to read random bytes. The
|
---|
246 | DEVRANDOM preprocessor constant expands to
|
---|
247 | "/dev/urandom","/dev/random","/dev/srandom" on
|
---|
248 | most unix-ish operating systems.
|
---|
249 | egd: Check for an entropy generating daemon.
|
---|
250 | rdcpu: Use the RDSEED or RDRAND command if provided by
|
---|
251 | the CPU.
|
---|
252 | librandom: Use librandom (not implemented yet).
|
---|
253 | none: Disable automatic seeding. This is the default
|
---|
254 | on some operating systems where no suitable
|
---|
255 | entropy source exists, or no support for it is
|
---|
256 | implemented yet.
|
---|
257 |
|
---|
258 | For more information, see the section 'Note on random number
|
---|
259 | generation' at the end of this document.
|
---|
260 |
|
---|
261 | no-afalgeng
|
---|
262 | Don't build the AFALG engine. This option will be forced if
|
---|
263 | on a platform that does not support AFALG.
|
---|
264 |
|
---|
265 | enable-asan
|
---|
266 | Build with the Address sanitiser. This is a developer option
|
---|
267 | only. It may not work on all platforms and should never be
|
---|
268 | used in production environments. It will only work when used
|
---|
269 | with gcc or clang and should be used in conjunction with the
|
---|
270 | no-shared option.
|
---|
271 |
|
---|
272 | no-asm
|
---|
273 | Do not use assembler code. This should be viewed as
|
---|
274 | debugging/trouble-shooting option rather than production.
|
---|
275 | On some platforms a small amount of assembler code may
|
---|
276 | still be used even with this option.
|
---|
277 |
|
---|
278 | no-async
|
---|
279 | Do not build support for async operations.
|
---|
280 |
|
---|
281 | no-autoalginit
|
---|
282 | Don't automatically load all supported ciphers and digests.
|
---|
283 | Typically OpenSSL will make available all of its supported
|
---|
284 | ciphers and digests. For a statically linked application this
|
---|
285 | may be undesirable if small executable size is an objective.
|
---|
286 | This only affects libcrypto. Ciphers and digests will have to
|
---|
287 | be loaded manually using EVP_add_cipher() and
|
---|
288 | EVP_add_digest() if this option is used. This option will
|
---|
289 | force a non-shared build.
|
---|
290 |
|
---|
291 | no-autoerrinit
|
---|
292 | Don't automatically load all libcrypto/libssl error strings.
|
---|
293 | Typically OpenSSL will automatically load human readable
|
---|
294 | error strings. For a statically linked application this may
|
---|
295 | be undesirable if small executable size is an objective.
|
---|
296 |
|
---|
297 | no-autoload-config
|
---|
298 | Don't automatically load the default openssl.cnf file.
|
---|
299 | Typically OpenSSL will automatically load a system config
|
---|
300 | file which configures default ssl options.
|
---|
301 |
|
---|
302 | enable-buildtest-c++
|
---|
303 | While testing, generate C++ buildtest files that
|
---|
304 | simply check that the public OpenSSL header files
|
---|
305 | are usable standalone with C++.
|
---|
306 |
|
---|
307 | Enabling this option demands extra care. For any
|
---|
308 | compiler flag given directly as configuration
|
---|
309 | option, you must ensure that it's valid for both
|
---|
310 | the C and the C++ compiler. If not, the C++ build
|
---|
311 | test will most likely break. As an alternative,
|
---|
312 | you can use the language specific variables, CFLAGS
|
---|
313 | and CXXFLAGS.
|
---|
314 |
|
---|
315 | no-capieng
|
---|
316 | Don't build the CAPI engine. This option will be forced if
|
---|
317 | on a platform that does not support CAPI.
|
---|
318 |
|
---|
319 | no-cms
|
---|
320 | Don't build support for CMS features
|
---|
321 |
|
---|
322 | no-comp
|
---|
323 | Don't build support for SSL/TLS compression. If this option
|
---|
324 | is left enabled (the default), then compression will only
|
---|
325 | work if the zlib or zlib-dynamic options are also chosen.
|
---|
326 |
|
---|
327 | enable-crypto-mdebug
|
---|
328 | Build support for debugging memory allocated via
|
---|
329 | OPENSSL_malloc() or OPENSSL_zalloc().
|
---|
330 |
|
---|
331 | enable-crypto-mdebug-backtrace
|
---|
332 | As for crypto-mdebug, but additionally provide backtrace
|
---|
333 | information for allocated memory.
|
---|
334 | TO BE USED WITH CARE: this uses GNU C functionality, and
|
---|
335 | is therefore not usable for non-GNU config targets. If
|
---|
336 | your build complains about the use of '-rdynamic' or the
|
---|
337 | lack of header file execinfo.h, this option is not for you.
|
---|
338 | ALSO NOTE that even though execinfo.h is available on your
|
---|
339 | system (through Gnulib), the functions might just be stubs
|
---|
340 | that do nothing.
|
---|
341 |
|
---|
342 | no-ct
|
---|
343 | Don't build support for Certificate Transparency.
|
---|
344 |
|
---|
345 | no-deprecated
|
---|
346 | Don't build with support for any deprecated APIs. This is the
|
---|
347 | same as using "--api" and supplying the latest version
|
---|
348 | number.
|
---|
349 |
|
---|
350 | no-dgram
|
---|
351 | Don't build support for datagram based BIOs. Selecting this
|
---|
352 | option will also force the disabling of DTLS.
|
---|
353 |
|
---|
354 | no-dso
|
---|
355 | Don't build support for loading Dynamic Shared Objects.
|
---|
356 |
|
---|
357 | enable-devcryptoeng
|
---|
358 | Build the /dev/crypto engine. It is automatically selected
|
---|
359 | on BSD implementations, in which case it can be disabled with
|
---|
360 | no-devcryptoeng.
|
---|
361 |
|
---|
362 | no-dynamic-engine
|
---|
363 | Don't build the dynamically loaded engines. This only has an
|
---|
364 | effect in a "shared" build
|
---|
365 |
|
---|
366 | no-ec
|
---|
367 | Don't build support for Elliptic Curves.
|
---|
368 |
|
---|
369 | no-ec2m
|
---|
370 | Don't build support for binary Elliptic Curves
|
---|
371 |
|
---|
372 | enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128
|
---|
373 | Enable support for optimised implementations of some commonly
|
---|
374 | used NIST elliptic curves.
|
---|
375 | This is only supported on platforms:
|
---|
376 | - with little-endian storage of non-byte types
|
---|
377 | - that tolerate misaligned memory references
|
---|
378 | - where the compiler:
|
---|
379 | - supports the non-standard type __uint128_t
|
---|
380 | - defines the built-in macro __SIZEOF_INT128__
|
---|
381 |
|
---|
382 | enable-egd
|
---|
383 | Build support for gathering entropy from EGD (Entropy
|
---|
384 | Gathering Daemon).
|
---|
385 |
|
---|
386 | no-engine
|
---|
387 | Don't build support for loading engines.
|
---|
388 |
|
---|
389 | no-err
|
---|
390 | Don't compile in any error strings.
|
---|
391 |
|
---|
392 | enable-external-tests
|
---|
393 | Enable building of integration with external test suites.
|
---|
394 | This is a developer option and may not work on all platforms.
|
---|
395 | The only supported external test suite at the current time is
|
---|
396 | the BoringSSL test suite. See the file test/README.external
|
---|
397 | for further details.
|
---|
398 |
|
---|
399 | no-filenames
|
---|
400 | Don't compile in filename and line number information (e.g.
|
---|
401 | for errors and memory allocation).
|
---|
402 |
|
---|
403 | enable-fuzz-libfuzzer, enable-fuzz-afl
|
---|
404 | Build with support for fuzzing using either libfuzzer or AFL.
|
---|
405 | These are developer options only. They may not work on all
|
---|
406 | platforms and should never be used in production environments.
|
---|
407 | See the file fuzz/README.md for further details.
|
---|
408 |
|
---|
409 | no-gost
|
---|
410 | Don't build support for GOST based ciphersuites. Note that
|
---|
411 | if this feature is enabled then GOST ciphersuites are only
|
---|
412 | available if the GOST algorithms are also available through
|
---|
413 | loading an externally supplied engine.
|
---|
414 |
|
---|
415 | no-hw-padlock
|
---|
416 | Don't build the padlock engine.
|
---|
417 |
|
---|
418 | no-makedepend
|
---|
419 | Don't generate dependencies.
|
---|
420 |
|
---|
421 | no-multiblock
|
---|
422 | Don't build support for writing multiple records in one
|
---|
423 | go in libssl (Note: this is a different capability to the
|
---|
424 | pipelining functionality).
|
---|
425 |
|
---|
426 | no-nextprotoneg
|
---|
427 | Don't build support for the NPN TLS extension.
|
---|
428 |
|
---|
429 | no-ocsp
|
---|
430 | Don't build support for OCSP.
|
---|
431 |
|
---|
432 | no-pic
|
---|
433 | Don't build with support for Position Independent Code.
|
---|
434 |
|
---|
435 | no-pinshared By default OpenSSL will attempt to stay in memory until the
|
---|
436 | process exits. This is so that libcrypto and libssl can be
|
---|
437 | properly cleaned up automatically via an "atexit()" handler.
|
---|
438 | The handler is registered by libcrypto and cleans up both
|
---|
439 | libraries. On some platforms the atexit() handler will run on
|
---|
440 | unload of libcrypto (if it has been dynamically loaded)
|
---|
441 | rather than at process exit. This option can be used to stop
|
---|
442 | OpenSSL from attempting to stay in memory until the process
|
---|
443 | exits. This could lead to crashes if either libcrypto or
|
---|
444 | libssl have already been unloaded at the point
|
---|
445 | that the atexit handler is invoked, e.g. on a platform which
|
---|
446 | calls atexit() on unload of the library, and libssl is
|
---|
447 | unloaded before libcrypto then a crash is likely to happen.
|
---|
448 | Applications can suppress running of the atexit() handler at
|
---|
449 | run time by using the OPENSSL_INIT_NO_ATEXIT option to
|
---|
450 | OPENSSL_init_crypto(). See the man page for it for further
|
---|
451 | details.
|
---|
452 |
|
---|
453 | no-posix-io
|
---|
454 | Don't use POSIX IO capabilities.
|
---|
455 |
|
---|
456 | no-psk
|
---|
457 | Don't build support for Pre-Shared Key based ciphersuites.
|
---|
458 |
|
---|
459 | no-rdrand
|
---|
460 | Don't use hardware RDRAND capabilities.
|
---|
461 |
|
---|
462 | no-rfc3779
|
---|
463 | Don't build support for RFC3779 ("X.509 Extensions for IP
|
---|
464 | Addresses and AS Identifiers")
|
---|
465 |
|
---|
466 | sctp
|
---|
467 | Build support for SCTP
|
---|
468 |
|
---|
469 | no-shared
|
---|
470 | Do not create shared libraries, only static ones. See "Note
|
---|
471 | on shared libraries" below.
|
---|
472 |
|
---|
473 | no-sock
|
---|
474 | Don't build support for socket BIOs
|
---|
475 |
|
---|
476 | no-srp
|
---|
477 | Don't build support for SRP or SRP based ciphersuites.
|
---|
478 |
|
---|
479 | no-srtp
|
---|
480 | Don't build SRTP support
|
---|
481 |
|
---|
482 | no-sse2
|
---|
483 | Exclude SSE2 code paths from 32-bit x86 assembly modules.
|
---|
484 | Normally SSE2 extension is detected at run-time, but the
|
---|
485 | decision whether or not the machine code will be executed
|
---|
486 | is taken solely on CPU capability vector. This means that
|
---|
487 | if you happen to run OS kernel which does not support SSE2
|
---|
488 | extension on Intel P4 processor, then your application
|
---|
489 | might be exposed to "illegal instruction" exception.
|
---|
490 | There might be a way to enable support in kernel, e.g.
|
---|
491 | FreeBSD kernel can be compiled with CPU_ENABLE_SSE, and
|
---|
492 | there is a way to disengage SSE2 code paths upon application
|
---|
493 | start-up, but if you aim for wider "audience" running
|
---|
494 | such kernel, consider no-sse2. Both the 386 and
|
---|
495 | no-asm options imply no-sse2.
|
---|
496 |
|
---|
497 | enable-ssl-trace
|
---|
498 | Build with the SSL Trace capabilities (adds the "-trace"
|
---|
499 | option to s_client and s_server).
|
---|
500 |
|
---|
501 | no-static-engine
|
---|
502 | Don't build the statically linked engines. This only
|
---|
503 | has an impact when not built "shared".
|
---|
504 |
|
---|
505 | no-stdio
|
---|
506 | Don't use anything from the C header file "stdio.h" that
|
---|
507 | makes use of the "FILE" type. Only libcrypto and libssl can
|
---|
508 | be built in this way. Using this option will suppress
|
---|
509 | building the command line applications. Additionally since
|
---|
510 | the OpenSSL tests also use the command line applications the
|
---|
511 | tests will also be skipped.
|
---|
512 |
|
---|
513 | no-tests
|
---|
514 | Don't build test programs or run any test.
|
---|
515 |
|
---|
516 | no-threads
|
---|
517 | Don't try to build with support for multi-threaded
|
---|
518 | applications.
|
---|
519 |
|
---|
520 | threads
|
---|
521 | Build with support for multi-threaded applications. Most
|
---|
522 | platforms will enable this by default. However if on a
|
---|
523 | platform where this is not the case then this will usually
|
---|
524 | require additional system-dependent options! See "Note on
|
---|
525 | multi-threading" below.
|
---|
526 |
|
---|
527 | no-ts
|
---|
528 | Don't build Time Stamping Authority support.
|
---|
529 |
|
---|
530 | enable-ubsan
|
---|
531 | Build with the Undefined Behaviour sanitiser. This is a
|
---|
532 | developer option only. It may not work on all platforms and
|
---|
533 | should never be used in production environments. It will only
|
---|
534 | work when used with gcc or clang and should be used in
|
---|
535 | conjunction with the "-DPEDANTIC" option (or the
|
---|
536 | --strict-warnings option).
|
---|
537 |
|
---|
538 | no-ui-console
|
---|
539 | Don't build with the "UI" console method (i.e. the "UI"
|
---|
540 | method that enables text based console prompts).
|
---|
541 |
|
---|
542 | enable-unit-test
|
---|
543 | Enable additional unit test APIs. This should not typically
|
---|
544 | be used in production deployments.
|
---|
545 |
|
---|
546 | enable-weak-ssl-ciphers
|
---|
547 | Build support for SSL/TLS ciphers that are considered "weak"
|
---|
548 | (e.g. RC4 based ciphersuites).
|
---|
549 |
|
---|
550 | zlib
|
---|
551 | Build with support for zlib compression/decompression.
|
---|
552 |
|
---|
553 | zlib-dynamic
|
---|
554 | Like "zlib", but has OpenSSL load the zlib library
|
---|
555 | dynamically when needed. This is only supported on systems
|
---|
556 | where loading of shared libraries is supported.
|
---|
557 |
|
---|
558 | 386
|
---|
559 | In 32-bit x86 builds, when generating assembly modules,
|
---|
560 | use the 80386 instruction set only (the default x86 code
|
---|
561 | is more efficient, but requires at least a 486). Note:
|
---|
562 | This doesn't affect code generated by compiler, you're
|
---|
563 | likely to complement configuration command line with
|
---|
564 | suitable compiler-specific option.
|
---|
565 |
|
---|
566 | no-<prot>
|
---|
567 | Don't build support for negotiating the specified SSL/TLS
|
---|
568 | protocol (one of ssl, ssl3, tls, tls1, tls1_1, tls1_2,
|
---|
569 | tls1_3, dtls, dtls1 or dtls1_2). If "no-tls" is selected then
|
---|
570 | all of tls1, tls1_1, tls1_2 and tls1_3 are disabled.
|
---|
571 | Similarly "no-dtls" will disable dtls1 and dtls1_2. The
|
---|
572 | "no-ssl" option is synonymous with "no-ssl3". Note this only
|
---|
573 | affects version negotiation. OpenSSL will still provide the
|
---|
574 | methods for applications to explicitly select the individual
|
---|
575 | protocol versions.
|
---|
576 |
|
---|
577 | no-<prot>-method
|
---|
578 | As for no-<prot> but in addition do not build the methods for
|
---|
579 | applications to explicitly select individual protocol
|
---|
580 | versions. Note that there is no "no-tls1_3-method" option
|
---|
581 | because there is no application method for TLSv1.3. Using
|
---|
582 | individual protocol methods directly is deprecated.
|
---|
583 | Applications should use TLS_method() instead.
|
---|
584 |
|
---|
585 | enable-<alg>
|
---|
586 | Build with support for the specified algorithm, where <alg>
|
---|
587 | is one of: md2 or rc5.
|
---|
588 |
|
---|
589 | no-<alg>
|
---|
590 | Build without support for the specified algorithm, where
|
---|
591 | <alg> is one of: aria, bf, blake2, camellia, cast, chacha,
|
---|
592 | cmac, des, dh, dsa, ecdh, ecdsa, idea, md4, mdc2, ocb,
|
---|
593 | poly1305, rc2, rc4, rmd160, scrypt, seed, siphash, sm2, sm3,
|
---|
594 | sm4 or whirlpool. The "ripemd" algorithm is deprecated and
|
---|
595 | if used is synonymous with rmd160.
|
---|
596 |
|
---|
597 | -Dxxx, -Ixxx, -Wp, -lxxx, -Lxxx, -Wl, -rpath, -R, -framework, -static
|
---|
598 | These system specific options will be recognised and
|
---|
599 | passed through to the compiler to allow you to define
|
---|
600 | preprocessor symbols, specify additional libraries, library
|
---|
601 | directories or other compiler options. It might be worth
|
---|
602 | noting that some compilers generate code specifically for
|
---|
603 | processor the compiler currently executes on. This is not
|
---|
604 | necessarily what you might have in mind, since it might be
|
---|
605 | unsuitable for execution on other, typically older,
|
---|
606 | processor. Consult your compiler documentation.
|
---|
607 |
|
---|
608 | Take note of the VAR=value documentation below and how
|
---|
609 | these flags interact with those variables.
|
---|
610 |
|
---|
611 | -xxx, +xxx, /xxx
|
---|
612 | Additional options that are not otherwise recognised are
|
---|
613 | passed through as they are to the compiler as well.
|
---|
614 | Unix-style options beginning with a '-' or '+' and
|
---|
615 | Windows-style options beginning with a '/' are recognized.
|
---|
616 | Again, consult your compiler documentation.
|
---|
617 |
|
---|
618 | If the option contains arguments separated by spaces,
|
---|
619 | then the URL-style notation %20 can be used for the space
|
---|
620 | character in order to avoid having to quote the option.
|
---|
621 | For example, -opt%20arg gets expanded to -opt arg.
|
---|
622 | In fact, any ASCII character can be encoded as %xx using its
|
---|
623 | hexadecimal encoding.
|
---|
624 |
|
---|
625 | Take note of the VAR=value documentation below and how
|
---|
626 | these flags interact with those variables.
|
---|
627 |
|
---|
628 | VAR=value
|
---|
629 | Assignment of environment variable for Configure. These
|
---|
630 | work just like normal environment variable assignments,
|
---|
631 | but are supported on all platforms and are confined to
|
---|
632 | the configuration scripts only. These assignments override
|
---|
633 | the corresponding value in the inherited environment, if
|
---|
634 | there is one.
|
---|
635 |
|
---|
636 | The following variables are used as "make variables" and
|
---|
637 | can be used as an alternative to giving preprocessor,
|
---|
638 | compiler and linker options directly as configuration.
|
---|
639 | The following variables are supported:
|
---|
640 |
|
---|
641 | AR The static library archiver.
|
---|
642 | ARFLAGS Flags for the static library archiver.
|
---|
643 | AS The assembler compiler.
|
---|
644 | ASFLAGS Flags for the assembler compiler.
|
---|
645 | CC The C compiler.
|
---|
646 | CFLAGS Flags for the C compiler.
|
---|
647 | CXX The C++ compiler.
|
---|
648 | CXXFLAGS Flags for the C++ compiler.
|
---|
649 | CPP The C/C++ preprocessor.
|
---|
650 | CPPFLAGS Flags for the C/C++ preprocessor.
|
---|
651 | CPPDEFINES List of CPP macro definitions, separated
|
---|
652 | by a platform specific character (':' or
|
---|
653 | space for Unix, ';' for Windows, ',' for
|
---|
654 | VMS). This can be used instead of using
|
---|
655 | -D (or what corresponds to that on your
|
---|
656 | compiler) in CPPFLAGS.
|
---|
657 | CPPINCLUDES List of CPP inclusion directories, separated
|
---|
658 | the same way as for CPPDEFINES. This can
|
---|
659 | be used instead of -I (or what corresponds
|
---|
660 | to that on your compiler) in CPPFLAGS.
|
---|
661 | HASHBANGPERL Perl invocation to be inserted after '#!'
|
---|
662 | in public perl scripts (only relevant on
|
---|
663 | Unix).
|
---|
664 | LD The program linker (not used on Unix, $(CC)
|
---|
665 | is used there).
|
---|
666 | LDFLAGS Flags for the shared library, DSO and
|
---|
667 | program linker.
|
---|
668 | LDLIBS Extra libraries to use when linking.
|
---|
669 | Takes the form of a space separated list
|
---|
670 | of library specifications on Unix and
|
---|
671 | Windows, and as a comma separated list of
|
---|
672 | libraries on VMS.
|
---|
673 | RANLIB The library archive indexer.
|
---|
674 | RC The Windows resource compiler.
|
---|
675 | RCFLAGS Flags for the Windows resource compiler.
|
---|
676 | RM The command to remove files and directories.
|
---|
677 |
|
---|
678 | These cannot be mixed with compiling / linking flags given
|
---|
679 | on the command line. In other words, something like this
|
---|
680 | isn't permitted.
|
---|
681 |
|
---|
682 | ./config -DFOO CPPFLAGS=-DBAR -DCOOKIE
|
---|
683 |
|
---|
684 | Backward compatibility note:
|
---|
685 |
|
---|
686 | To be compatible with older configuration scripts, the
|
---|
687 | environment variables are ignored if compiling / linking
|
---|
688 | flags are given on the command line, except for these:
|
---|
689 |
|
---|
690 | AR, CC, CXX, CROSS_COMPILE, HASHBANGPERL, PERL, RANLIB, RC
|
---|
691 | and WINDRES
|
---|
692 |
|
---|
693 | For example, the following command will not see -DBAR:
|
---|
694 |
|
---|
695 | CPPFLAGS=-DBAR ./config -DCOOKIE
|
---|
696 |
|
---|
697 | However, the following will see both set variables:
|
---|
698 |
|
---|
699 | CC=gcc CROSS_COMPILE=x86_64-w64-mingw32- \
|
---|
700 | ./config -DCOOKIE
|
---|
701 |
|
---|
702 | If CC is set, it is advisable to also set CXX to ensure
|
---|
703 | both C and C++ compilers are in the same "family". This
|
---|
704 | becomes relevant with 'enable-external-tests' and
|
---|
705 | 'enable-buildtest-c++'.
|
---|
706 |
|
---|
707 | reconf
|
---|
708 | reconfigure
|
---|
709 | Reconfigure from earlier data. This fetches the previous
|
---|
710 | command line options and environment from data saved in
|
---|
711 | "configdata.pm", and runs the configuration process again,
|
---|
712 | using these options and environment.
|
---|
713 | Note: NO other option is permitted together with "reconf".
|
---|
714 | This means that you also MUST use "./Configure" (or
|
---|
715 | what corresponds to that on non-Unix platforms) directly
|
---|
716 | to invoke this option.
|
---|
717 | Note: The original configuration saves away values for ALL
|
---|
718 | environment variables that were used, and if they weren't
|
---|
719 | defined, they are still saved away with information that
|
---|
720 | they weren't originally defined. This information takes
|
---|
721 | precedence over environment variables that are defined
|
---|
722 | when reconfiguring.
|
---|
723 |
|
---|
724 | Displaying configuration data
|
---|
725 | -----------------------------
|
---|
726 |
|
---|
727 | The configuration script itself will say very little, and finishes by
|
---|
728 | creating "configdata.pm". This perl module can be loaded by other scripts
|
---|
729 | to find all the configuration data, and it can also be used as a script to
|
---|
730 | display all sorts of configuration data in a human readable form.
|
---|
731 |
|
---|
732 | For more information, please do:
|
---|
733 |
|
---|
734 | $ ./configdata.pm --help # Unix
|
---|
735 |
|
---|
736 | or
|
---|
737 |
|
---|
738 | $ perl configdata.pm --help # Windows and VMS
|
---|

---|
740 | Installation in Detail
|

741 | ----------------------
|
---|
742 |
|
---|
743 | 1a. Configure OpenSSL for your operation system automatically:
|
---|
744 |
|
---|
745 | NOTE: This is not available on Windows.
|
---|
746 |
|
---|
747 | $ ./config [[ options ]] # Unix
|
---|
748 |
|
---|
749 | or
|
---|
750 |
|
---|
751 | $ @config [[ options ]] ! OpenVMS
|
---|
752 |
|
---|
753 | For the remainder of this text, the Unix form will be used in all
|
---|
754 | examples, please use the appropriate form for your platform.
|
---|
755 |
|
---|
756 | This guesses at your operating system (and compiler, if necessary) and
|
---|
757 | configures OpenSSL based on this guess. Run ./config -t to see
|
---|
758 | if it guessed correctly. If you want to use a different compiler, you
|
---|
759 | are cross-compiling for another platform, or the ./config guess was
|
---|
760 | wrong for other reasons, go to step 1b. Otherwise go to step 2.
|
---|
761 |
|
---|
762 | On some systems, you can include debugging information as follows:
|
---|
763 |
|
---|
764 | $ ./config -d [[ options ]]
|
---|
765 |
|
---|
766 | 1b. Configure OpenSSL for your operating system manually
|
---|
767 |
|
---|
768 | OpenSSL knows about a range of different operating system, hardware and
|
---|
769 | compiler combinations. To see the ones it knows about, run
|
---|
770 |
|
---|
771 | $ ./Configure # Unix
|
---|
772 |
|
---|
773 | or
|
---|
774 |
|
---|
775 | $ perl Configure # All other platforms
|
---|
776 |
|
---|
777 | For the remainder of this text, the Unix form will be used in all
|
---|
778 | examples, please use the appropriate form for your platform.
|
---|
779 |
|
---|
780 | Pick a suitable name from the list that matches your system. For most
|
---|
781 | operating systems there is a choice between using "cc" or "gcc". When
|
---|
782 | you have identified your system (and if necessary compiler) use this name
|
---|
783 | as the argument to Configure. For example, a "linux-elf" user would
|
---|
784 | run:
|
---|
785 |
|
---|
786 | $ ./Configure linux-elf [[ options ]]
|
---|
787 |
|
---|
788 | If your system isn't listed, you will have to create a configuration
|
---|
789 | file named Configurations/{{ something }}.conf and add the correct
|
---|
790 | configuration for your system. See the available configs as examples
|
---|
791 | and read Configurations/README and Configurations/README.design for
|
---|
792 | more information.
|
---|
793 |
|
---|
794 | The generic configurations "cc" or "gcc" should usually work on 32 bit
|
---|
795 | Unix-like systems.
|
---|
796 |
|
---|
797 | Configure creates a build file ("Makefile" on Unix, "makefile" on Windows
|
---|
798 | and "descrip.mms" on OpenVMS) from a suitable template in Configurations,
|
---|
799 | and defines various macros in include/openssl/opensslconf.h (generated from
|
---|
800 | include/openssl/opensslconf.h.in).
|
---|
801 |
|
---|
802 | 1c. Configure OpenSSL for building outside of the source tree.
|
---|
803 |
|
---|
804 | OpenSSL can be configured to build in a build directory separate from
|
---|
805 | the directory with the source code. It's done by placing yourself in
|
---|
806 | some other directory and invoking the configuration commands from
|
---|
807 | there.
|
---|
808 |
|
---|
809 | Unix example:
|
---|
810 |
|
---|
811 | $ mkdir /var/tmp/openssl-build
|
---|
812 | $ cd /var/tmp/openssl-build
|
---|
813 | $ /PATH/TO/OPENSSL/SOURCE/config [[ options ]]
|
---|
814 |
|
---|
815 | or
|
---|
816 |
|
---|
817 | $ /PATH/TO/OPENSSL/SOURCE/Configure {{ target }} [[ options ]]
|
---|
818 |
|
---|
819 | OpenVMS example:
|
---|
820 |
|
---|
821 | $ set default sys$login:
|
---|
822 | $ create/dir [.tmp.openssl-build]
|
---|
823 | $ set default [.tmp.openssl-build]
|
---|
824 | $ @[PATH.TO.OPENSSL.SOURCE]config [[ options ]]
|
---|
825 |
|
---|
826 | or
|
---|
827 |
|
---|
828 | $ @[PATH.TO.OPENSSL.SOURCE]Configure {{ target }} [[ options ]]
|
---|
829 |
|
---|
830 | Windows example:
|
---|
831 |
|
---|
832 | $ C:
|
---|
833 | $ mkdir \temp-openssl
|
---|
834 | $ cd \temp-openssl
|
---|
835 | $ perl d:\PATH\TO\OPENSSL\SOURCE\Configure {{ target }} [[ options ]]
|
---|
836 |
|
---|
837 | Paths can be relative just as well as absolute. Configure will
|
---|
838 | do its best to translate them to relative paths whenever possible.
|
---|
839 |
|
---|
840 | 2. Build OpenSSL by running:
|
---|
841 |
|
---|
842 | $ make # Unix
|
---|
843 | $ mms ! (or mmk) OpenVMS
|
---|
844 | $ nmake # Windows
|
---|
845 |
|
---|
846 | This will build the OpenSSL libraries (libcrypto.a and libssl.a on
|
---|
847 | Unix, corresponding on other platforms) and the OpenSSL binary
|
---|
848 | ("openssl"). The libraries will be built in the top-level directory,
|
---|
849 | and the binary will be in the "apps" subdirectory.
|
---|
850 |
|
---|
851 | Troubleshooting:
|
---|
852 |
|
---|
853 | If the build fails, look at the output. There may be reasons
|
---|
854 | for the failure that aren't problems in OpenSSL itself (like
|
---|
855 | missing standard headers).
|
---|
856 |
|
---|
857 | If the build succeeded previously, but fails after a source or
|
---|
858 | configuration change, it might be helpful to clean the build tree
|
---|
859 | before attempting another build. Use this command:
|
---|
860 |
|
---|
861 | $ make clean # Unix
|
---|
862 | $ mms clean ! (or mmk) OpenVMS
|
---|
863 | $ nmake clean # Windows
|
---|
864 |
|
---|
865 | Assembler error messages can sometimes be sidestepped by using the
|
---|
866 | "no-asm" configuration option.
|
---|
867 |
|
---|
868 | Compiling parts of OpenSSL with gcc and others with the system
|
---|
869 | compiler will result in unresolved symbols on some systems.
|
---|
870 |
|
---|
871 | If you are still having problems you can get help by sending an email
|
---|
872 | to the openssl-users email list (see
|
---|
873 | https://www.openssl.org/community/mailinglists.html for details). If
|
---|
874 | it is a bug with OpenSSL itself, please open an issue on GitHub, at
|
---|
875 | https://github.com/openssl/openssl/issues. Please review the existing
|
---|
876 | ones first; maybe the bug was already reported or has already been
|
---|
877 | fixed.
|
---|
878 |
|
---|
879 | 3. After a successful build, the libraries should be tested. Run:
|
---|
880 |
|
---|
881 | $ make test # Unix
|
---|
882 | $ mms test ! OpenVMS
|
---|
883 | $ nmake test # Windows
|
---|
884 |
|
---|
885 | NOTE: you MUST run the tests from an unprivileged account (or
|
---|
886 | disable your privileges temporarily if your platform allows it).
|
---|
887 |
|
---|
888 | If some tests fail, look at the output. There may be reasons for
|
---|
889 | the failure that isn't a problem in OpenSSL itself (like a
|
---|
890 | malfunction with Perl). You may want increased verbosity, that
|
---|
891 | can be accomplished like this:
|
---|
892 |
|
---|
893 | $ make VERBOSE=1 test # Unix
|
---|
894 |
|
---|
895 | $ mms /macro=(VERBOSE=1) test ! OpenVMS
|
---|
896 |
|
---|
897 | $ nmake VERBOSE=1 test # Windows
|
---|
898 |
|
---|
899 | If you want to run just one or a few specific tests, you can use
|
---|
900 | the make variable TESTS to specify them, like this:
|
---|
901 |
|
---|
902 | $ make TESTS='test_rsa test_dsa' test # Unix
|
---|
903 | $ mms/macro="TESTS=test_rsa test_dsa" test ! OpenVMS
|
---|
904 | $ nmake TESTS='test_rsa test_dsa' test # Windows
|
---|
905 |
|
---|
906 | And of course, you can combine (Unix example shown):
|
---|
907 |
|
---|
908 | $ make VERBOSE=1 TESTS='test_rsa test_dsa' test
|
---|
909 |
|
---|
910 | You can find the list of available tests like this:
|
---|
911 |
|
---|
912 | $ make list-tests # Unix
|
---|
913 | $ mms list-tests ! OpenVMS
|
---|
914 | $ nmake list-tests # Windows
|
---|
915 |
|
---|
916 | Have a look at the manual for the perl module Test::Harness to
|
---|
917 | see what other HARNESS_* variables there are.
|
---|
918 |
|
---|
919 | If you find a problem with OpenSSL itself, try removing any
|
---|
920 | compiler optimization flags from the CFLAGS line in Makefile and
|
---|
921 | run "make clean; make" or corresponding.
|
---|
922 |
|
---|
923 | To report a bug please open an issue on GitHub, at
|
---|
924 | https://github.com/openssl/openssl/issues.
|
---|
925 |
|
---|
926 | For more details on how the make variables TESTS can be used,
|
---|
927 | see section TESTS in Detail below.
|
---|
928 |
|
---|
929 | 4. If everything tests ok, install OpenSSL with
|
---|
930 |
|
---|
931 | $ make install # Unix
|
---|
932 | $ mms install ! OpenVMS
|
---|
933 | $ nmake install # Windows
|
---|
934 |
|
---|
935 | Note that in order to perform the install step above you need to have
|
---|
936 | appropriate permissions to write to the installation directory.
|
---|
937 |
|
---|
938 | The above commands will install all the software components in this
|
---|
939 | directory tree under PREFIX (the directory given with --prefix or its
|
---|
940 | default):
|
---|
941 |

|
---|
945 | utility scripts.
|
---|
946 | include/openssl
|
---|
947 | Contains the header files needed if you want
|
---|
948 | to build your own programs that use libcrypto
|
---|
949 | or libssl.
|
---|
950 | lib Contains the OpenSSL library files.
|
---|
951 | lib/engines Contains the OpenSSL dynamically loadable engines.
|
---|
952 |
|
---|
953 | share/man/man1 Contains the OpenSSL command line man-pages.
|
---|
954 | share/man/man3 Contains the OpenSSL library calls man-pages.
|
---|
955 | share/man/man5 Contains the OpenSSL configuration format man-pages.
|
---|
956 | share/man/man7 Contains the OpenSSL other misc man-pages.
|
---|
957 |
|
---|
958 | share/doc/openssl/html/man1
|
---|
959 | share/doc/openssl/html/man3
|
---|
960 | share/doc/openssl/html/man5
|
---|
961 | share/doc/openssl/html/man7
|
---|
962 | Contains the HTML rendition of the man-pages.
|
---|
963 |
|
---|
964 | OpenVMS ('arch' is replaced with the architecture name, "Alpha"
|
---|
965 | or "ia64", 'sover' is replaced with the shared library version
|
---|
966 | (0101 for 1.1), and 'pz' is replaced with the pointer size
|
---|
967 | OpenSSL was built with):
|
---|
968 |
|
---|
969 | [.EXE.'arch'] Contains the openssl binary.
|
---|
970 | [.EXE] Contains a few utility scripts.
|
---|
971 | [.include.openssl]
|
---|
972 | Contains the header files needed if you want
|
---|
973 | to build your own programs that use libcrypto
|
---|
974 | or libssl.
|
---|
975 | [.LIB.'arch'] Contains the OpenSSL library files.
|
---|
976 | [.ENGINES'sover''pz'.'arch']
|
---|
977 | Contains the OpenSSL dynamically loadable engines.
|
---|
978 | [.SYS$STARTUP] Contains startup, login and shutdown scripts.
|
---|
979 | These define appropriate logical names and
|
---|
980 | command symbols.
|
---|
981 | [.SYSTEST] Contains the installation verification procedure.
|
---|
982 | [.HTML] Contains the HTML rendition of the manual pages.
|
---|
983 |
|
---|
984 |
|
---|
985 | Additionally, install will add the following directories under
|
---|
986 | OPENSSLDIR (the directory given with --openssldir or its default)
|
---|
987 | for you convenience:
|
---|
988 |
|
---|
989 | certs Initially empty, this is the default location
|
---|
990 | for certificate files.
|
---|
991 | private Initially empty, this is the default location
|
---|
992 | for private key files.
|
---|
993 | misc Various scripts.
|
---|
994 |
|
---|
995 | The installation directory should be appropriately protected to ensure
|
---|
996 | unprivileged users cannot make changes to OpenSSL binaries or files, or
|
---|
997 | install engines. If you already have a pre-installed version of OpenSSL as
|
---|
998 | part of your Operating System it is recommended that you do not overwrite
|
---|
999 | the system version and instead install to somewhere else.
|
---|
1000 |
|
---|
1001 | Package builders who want to configure the library for standard
|
---|
1002 | locations, but have the package installed somewhere else so that
|
---|
1003 | it can easily be packaged, can use
|
---|
1004 |
|
---|
1005 | $ make DESTDIR=/tmp/package-root install # Unix
|
---|
1006 | $ mms/macro="DESTDIR=TMP:[PACKAGE-ROOT]" install ! OpenVMS
|
---|
1007 |
|
---|
1008 | The specified destination directory will be prepended to all
|
---|
1009 | installation target paths.
|
---|
1010 |
|
---|
1011 | Compatibility issues with previous OpenSSL versions:
|
---|
1012 |
|
---|
1013 | * COMPILING existing applications
|
---|
1014 |
|
---|
1015 | Starting with version 1.1.0, OpenSSL hides a number of structures
|
---|
1016 | that were previously open. This includes all internal libssl
|
---|
1017 | structures and a number of EVP types. Accessor functions have
|
---|
1018 | been added to allow controlled access to the structures' data.
|
---|
1019 |
|
---|
1020 | This means that some software needs to be rewritten to adapt to
|
---|
1021 | the new ways of doing things. This often amounts to allocating
|
---|
1022 | an instance of a structure explicitly where you could previously
|
---|
1023 | allocate them on the stack as automatic variables, and using the
|
---|
1024 | provided accessor functions where you would previously access a
|
---|
1025 | structure's field directly.
|
---|
1026 |
|
---|
1027 | Some APIs have changed as well. However, older APIs have been
|
---|
1028 | preserved when possible.
|
---|
1029 |
|
---|
1030 | Environment Variables
|
---|
1031 | ---------------------
|
---|
1032 |
|
---|
1033 | A number of environment variables can be used to provide additional control
|
---|
1034 | over the build process. Typically these should be defined prior to running
|
---|
1035 | config or Configure. Not all environment variables are relevant to all
|
---|
1036 | platforms.
|
---|
1037 |
|
---|
1038 | AR
|
---|
1039 | The name of the ar executable to use.
|
---|
1040 |
|
---|
1041 | BUILDFILE
|
---|
1042 | Use a different build file name than the platform default
|
---|
1043 | ("Makefile" on Unix-like platforms, "makefile" on native Windows,
|
---|
1044 | "descrip.mms" on OpenVMS). This requires that there is a
|
---|
1045 | corresponding build file template. See Configurations/README
|
---|
1046 | for further information.
|
---|
1047 |
|
---|
1048 | CC
|
---|
1049 | The compiler to use. Configure will attempt to pick a default
|
---|
1050 | compiler for your platform but this choice can be overridden
|
---|
1051 | using this variable. Set it to the compiler executable you wish
|
---|
1052 | to use, e.g. "gcc" or "clang".
|
---|
1053 |
|
---|
1054 | CROSS_COMPILE
|
---|
1055 | This environment variable has the same meaning as for the
|
---|
1056 | "--cross-compile-prefix" Configure flag described above. If both
|
---|
1057 | are set then the Configure flag takes precedence.
|
---|
1058 |
|
---|
1059 | NM
|
---|
1060 | The name of the nm executable to use.
|
---|
1061 |
|
---|
1062 | OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR
|
---|
1063 | OpenSSL comes with a database of information about how it
|
---|
1064 | should be built on different platforms as well as build file
|
---|
1065 | templates for those platforms. The database is comprised of
|
---|
1066 | ".conf" files in the Configurations directory. The build
|
---|
1067 | file templates reside there as well as ".tmpl" files. See the
|
---|
1068 | file Configurations/README for further information about the
|
---|
1069 | format of ".conf" files as well as information on the ".tmpl"
|
---|
1070 | files.
|
---|
1071 | In addition to the standard ".conf" and ".tmpl" files, it is
|
---|
1072 | possible to create your own ".conf" and ".tmpl" files and store
|
---|
1073 | them locally, outside the OpenSSL source tree. This environment
|
---|
1074 | variable can be set to the directory where these files are held
|
---|
1075 | and will be considered by Configure before it looks in the
|
---|
1076 | standard directories.
|
---|
1077 |
|
---|
1078 | PERL
|
---|
1079 | The name of the Perl executable to use when building OpenSSL.
|
---|
1080 | This variable is used in config script only. Configure on the
|
---|
1081 | other hand imposes the interpreter by which it itself was
|
---|
1082 | executed on the whole build procedure.
|
---|
1083 |
|
---|
1084 | HASHBANGPERL
|
---|
1085 | The command string for the Perl executable to insert in the
|
---|
1086 | #! line of perl scripts that will be publicly installed.
|
---|
1087 | Default: /usr/bin/env perl
|
---|
1088 | Note: the value of this variable is added to the same scripts
|
---|
1089 | on all platforms, but it's only relevant on Unix-like platforms.
|
---|
1090 |
|
---|
1091 | RC
|
---|
1092 | The name of the rc executable to use. The default will be as
|
---|
1093 | defined for the target platform in the ".conf" file. If not
|
---|
1094 | defined then "windres" will be used. The WINDRES environment
|
---|
1095 | variable is synonymous to this. If both are defined then RC
|
---|
1096 | takes precedence.
|
---|
1097 |
|
---|
1098 | RANLIB
|
---|
1099 | The name of the ranlib executable to use.
|
---|
1100 |
|
---|
1101 | WINDRES
|
---|
1102 | See RC.
|
---|
1103 |
|
---|
1104 | Makefile targets
|
---|
1105 | ----------------
|
---|
1106 |
|
---|
1107 | The Configure script generates a Makefile in a format relevant to the specific
|
---|
1108 | platform. The Makefiles provide a number of targets that can be used. Not all
|
---|
1109 | targets may be available on all platforms. Only the most common targets are
|
---|
1110 | described here. Examine the Makefiles themselves for the full list.
|
---|
1111 |
|
---|
1112 | all
|
---|
1113 | The default target to build all the software components.
|
---|
1114 |
|
---|
1115 | clean
|
---|
1116 | Remove all build artefacts and return the directory to a "clean"
|
---|
1117 | state.
|
---|
1118 |
|
---|
1119 | depend
|
---|
1120 | Rebuild the dependencies in the Makefiles. This is a legacy
|
---|
1121 | option that no longer needs to be used since OpenSSL 1.1.0.
|
---|
1122 |
|
---|
1123 | install
|
---|
1124 | Install all OpenSSL components.
|
---|
1125 |
|
---|
1126 | install_sw
|
---|
1127 | Only install the OpenSSL software components.
|
---|
1128 |
|
---|
1129 | install_docs
|
---|
1130 | Only install the OpenSSL documentation components.
|
---|
1131 |
|
---|
1132 | install_man_docs
|
---|
1133 | Only install the OpenSSL man pages (Unix only).
|
---|
1134 |
|
---|
1135 | install_html_docs
|
---|

1158 | TESTS in Detail
|
---|
1159 | ---------------
|
---|
1160 |
|
---|
1161 | The make variable TESTS supports a versatile set of space separated tokens
|
---|
1162 | with which you can specify a set of tests to be performed. With a "current
|
---|
1163 | set of tests" in mind, initially being empty, here are the possible tokens:
|
---|
1164 |
|
---|
1165 | alltests The current set of tests becomes the whole set of available
|
---|
1166 | tests (as listed when you do 'make list-tests' or similar).
|
---|
1167 | xxx Adds the test 'xxx' to the current set of tests.
|
---|
1168 | -xxx Removes 'xxx' from the current set of tests. If this is the
|
---|
1169 | first token in the list, the current set of tests is first
|
---|
1170 | assigned the whole set of available tests, effectively making
|
---|
1171 | this token equivalent to TESTS="alltests -xxx".
|
---|
1172 | nn Adds the test group 'nn' (which is a number) to the current
|
---|
1173 | set of tests.
|
---|
1174 | -nn Removes the test group 'nn' from the current set of tests.
|
---|
1175 | If this is the first token in the list, the current set of
|
---|
1176 | tests is first assigned the whole set of available tests,
|
---|
1177 | effectively making this token equivalent to
|
---|
1178 | TESTS="alltests -xxx".
|
---|
1179 |
|
---|
1180 | Also, all tokens except for "alltests" may have wildcards, such as *.
|
---|
1181 | (on Unix and Windows, BSD style wildcards are supported, while on VMS,
|
---|
1182 | it's VMS style wildcards)
|
---|
1183 |
|
---|
1184 | Example: All tests except for the fuzz tests:
|
---|
1185 |
|
---|
1186 | $ make TESTS=-test_fuzz test
|
---|
1187 |
|
---|
1188 | or (if you want to be explicit)
|
---|
1189 |
|
---|
1190 | $ make TESTS='alltests -test_fuzz' test
|
---|
1191 |
|
---|
1192 | Example: All tests that have a name starting with "test_ssl" but not those
|
---|
1193 | starting with "test_ssl_":
|
---|
1194 |
|
---|
1195 | $ make TESTS='test_ssl* -test_ssl_*' test
|
---|
1196 |
|
---|
1197 | Example: Only test group 10:
|
---|
1198 |
|
---|
1199 | $ make TESTS='10'
|
---|
1200 |
|
---|
1201 | Example: All tests except the slow group (group 99):
|
---|
1202 |
|
---|
1203 | $ make TESTS='-99'
|
---|
1204 |
|
---|
1205 | Example: All tests in test groups 80 to 99 except for tests in group 90:
|
---|
1206 |
|
---|
1207 | $ make TESTS='[89]? -90'
|
---|
1208 |
|
---|
1209 | Note on multi-threading
|
---|
1210 | -----------------------
|
---|
1211 |
|
---|
1212 | For some systems, the OpenSSL Configure script knows what compiler options
|
---|
1213 | are needed to generate a library that is suitable for multi-threaded
|
---|
1214 | applications. On these systems, support for multi-threading is enabled
|
---|
1215 | by default; use the "no-threads" option to disable (this should never be
|
---|
1216 | necessary).
|
---|
1217 |
|
---|
1218 | On other systems, to enable support for multi-threading, you will have
|
---|
1219 | to specify at least two options: "threads", and a system-dependent option.
|
---|
1220 | (The latter is "-D_REENTRANT" on various systems.) The default in this
|
---|
1221 | case, obviously, is not to include support for multi-threading (but
|
---|
1222 | you can still use "no-threads" to suppress an annoying warning message
|
---|
1223 | from the Configure script.)
|
---|
1224 |
|
---|
1225 | OpenSSL provides built-in support for two threading models: pthreads (found on
|
---|
1226 | most UNIX/Linux systems), and Windows threads. No other threading models are
|
---|
1227 | supported. If your platform does not provide pthreads or Windows threads then
|
---|
1228 | you should Configure with the "no-threads" option.
|
---|

---|
1230 | Notes on shared libraries
|
---|
1231 | -------------------------
|
---|
1232 |
|
---|
1233 | For most systems the OpenSSL Configure script knows what is needed to
|
---|
1234 | build shared libraries for libcrypto and libssl. On these systems
|
---|
1235 | the shared libraries will be created by default. This can be suppressed and
|
---|
1236 | only static libraries created by using the "no-shared" option. On systems
|
---|
1237 | where OpenSSL does not know how to build shared libraries the "no-shared"
|
---|
1238 | option will be forced and only static libraries will be created.
|
---|
1239 |
|
---|
1240 | Shared libraries are named a little differently on different platforms.
|
---|
1241 | One way or another, they all have the major OpenSSL version number as
|
---|
1242 | part of the file name, i.e. for OpenSSL 1.1.x, 1.1 is somehow part of
|
---|
1243 | the name.
|
---|
1244 |
|
---|
1245 | On most POSIX platforms, shared libraries are named libcrypto.so.1.1
|
---|
1246 | and libssl.so.1.1.
|
---|
1247 |
|
---|
1248 | on Cygwin, shared libraries are named cygcrypto-1.1.dll and cygssl-1.1.dll
|
---|
1249 | with import libraries libcrypto.dll.a and libssl.dll.a.
|
---|
1250 |
|
---|
1251 | On Windows build with MSVC or using MingW, shared libraries are named
|
---|
1252 | libcrypto-1_1.dll and libssl-1_1.dll for 32-bit Windows, libcrypto-1_1-x64.dll
|
---|
1253 | and libssl-1_1-x64.dll for 64-bit x86_64 Windows, and libcrypto-1_1-ia64.dll
|
---|
1254 | and libssl-1_1-ia64.dll for IA64 Windows. With MSVC, the import libraries
|
---|
1255 | are named libcrypto.lib and libssl.lib, while with MingW, they are named
|
---|
1256 | libcrypto.dll.a and libssl.dll.a.
|
---|
1257 |
|
---|
1258 | On VMS, shareable images (VMS speak for shared libraries) are named
|
---|
1259 | ossl$libcrypto0101_shr.exe and ossl$libssl0101_shr.exe. However, when
|
---|
1260 | OpenSSL is specifically built for 32-bit pointers, the shareable images
|
---|
1261 | are named ossl$libcrypto0101_shr32.exe and ossl$libssl0101_shr32.exe
|
---|
1262 | instead, and when built for 64-bit pointers, they are named
|
---|
1263 | ossl$libcrypto0101_shr64.exe and ossl$libssl0101_shr64.exe.
|
---|
1264 |
|
---|
1265 | Note on random number generation
|
---|
1266 | --------------------------------
|
---|
1267 |
|
---|
1268 | Availability of cryptographically secure random numbers is required for
|
---|
1269 | secret key generation. OpenSSL provides several options to seed the
|
---|
1270 | internal CSPRNG. If not properly seeded, the internal CSPRNG will refuse
|
---|
1271 | to deliver random bytes and a "PRNG not seeded error" will occur.
|
---|
1272 |
|
---|
1273 | The seeding method can be configured using the --with-rand-seed option,
|
---|
1274 | which can be used to specify a comma separated list of seed methods.
|
---|
1275 | However in most cases OpenSSL will choose a suitable default method,
|
---|
1276 | so it is not necessary to explicitly provide this option. Note also
|
---|
1277 | that not all methods are available on all platforms.
|
---|
1278 |
|
---|
1279 | I) On operating systems which provide a suitable randomness source (in
|
---|
1280 | form of a system call or system device), OpenSSL will use the optimal
|
---|
1281 | available method to seed the CSPRNG from the operating system's
|
---|
1282 | randomness sources. This corresponds to the option --with-rand-seed=os.
|
---|
1283 |
|
---|
1284 | II) On systems without such a suitable randomness source, automatic seeding
|
---|
1285 | and reseeding is disabled (--with-rand-seed=none) and it may be necessary
|
---|
1286 | to install additional support software to obtain a random seed and reseed
|
---|
1287 | the CSPRNG manually. Please check out the manual pages for RAND_add(),
|
---|
1288 | RAND_bytes(), RAND_egd(), and the FAQ for more information.
