--api=x.y.z Don't build with support for deprecated APIs below the
--api=x.y.z
Don't build with support for deprecated APIs below the
specified version number. For example "--api=1.1.0" will
remove support for all APIS that were deprecated in OpenSSL
version 1.1.0 or below.
no-deprecated Don't build with support for any deprecated APIs. This is the
same as using "--api" and supplying the latest version
number.
no-afalgeng
Don't build the AFALG engine. This option will be forced if
on a platform that does not support AFALG.
no-autoalginit Don't automatically load all supported ciphers and digests.
no-asm
Do not use assembler code.
no-async
Do not build support for async operations.
no-autoalginit
Don't automatically load all supported ciphers and digests.
Typically OpenSSL will make available all of its supported
ciphers and digests. For a statically linked application this
may be undesirable if small executable size is an objective.
This only affects libcrypto. Ciphers and digests will have to
be loaded manually using EVP_add_cipher() and
EVP_add_digest() if this option is used.
EVP_add_digest() if this option is used. This option will
force a non-shared build.
no-autoerrinit Don't automatically load all libcrypto/libssl error strings.
no-autoerrinit
Don't automatically load all libcrypto/libssl error strings.
Typically OpenSSL will automatically load human readable
error strings. For a statically linked application this may
be undesirable if small executable size is an objective.
no-threads Don't try to build with support for multi-threaded
applications.
threads Build with support for multi-threaded applications.
This will usually require additional system-dependent
options! See "Note on multi-threading" below.
no-capieng
Don't build the CAPI engine. This option will be forced if
on a platform that does not support CAPI.
no-zlib Don't try to build with support for zlib compression and
decompression.
no-cms
Don't build support for CMS features
zlib Build with support for zlib compression/decompression.
no-comp
Don't build support for SSL/TLS compression. If this option
is left enabled (the default), then compression will only
work if the zlib or zlib-dynamic options are also chosen.
zlib-dynamic Like "zlib", but has OpenSSL load the zlib library
dynamically when needed. This is only supported on systems
where loading of shared libraries is supported. This is the
default choice.
enable-crypto-mdebug
Build support for debugging memory allocated via
OPENSSL_malloc() or OPENSSL_zalloc().
no-shared Don't try to create shared libraries.
enable-crypto-mdebug-backtrace
As for crypto-mdebug, but additionally provide backtrace
information for allocated memory.
shared In addition to the usual static libraries, create shared
no-ct
Don't build support for Certificate Transparency.
no-deprecated
Don't build with support for any deprecated APIs. This is the
same as using "--api" and supplying the latest version
number.
no-dgram
Don't build support for datagram based BIOs. Selecting this
option will also force the disabling of DTLS.
no-dso
Don't build support for loading Dynamic Shared Objects.
no-dynamic-engine
Don't build the dynamically loaded engines. This only has an
effect in a "shared" build
no-ec
Don't build support for Elliptic Curves.
no-ec2m
Don't build support for binary Elliptic Curves
enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128
Enable support for optimised implementations of some commonly
used NIST elliptic curves. This is only supported on some
platforms.
enable-egd
Build support for gathering entropy from EGD (Entropy
Gathering Daemon).
no-engine
Don't build support for loading engines.
no-err
Don't compile in any error strings.
no-filenames
Don't compile in filename and line number information (e.g.
for errors and memory allocation).
no-gost
Don't build support for GOST based ciphersuites. Note that
if this feature is enabled then GOST ciphersuites are only
available if the GOST algorithms are also available through
loading an externally supplied engine.
enable-heartbeats
Build support for DTLS heartbeats.
no-hw-padlock
Don't build the padlock engine.
no-makedepend
??
no-multiblock
Don't build support for writing multiple records in one
go in libssl (Note: this is a different capability to the
pipelining functionality).
no-nextprotoneg
Don't build support for the NPN TLS extension.
no-ocsp
Don't build support for OCSP.
no-pic
Don't build with support for Position Independent Code.
no-posix-io
Don't use POSIX IO capabilities.
no-psk
Don't build support for Pre-Shared Key based ciphersuites.
no-rdrand
Don't use hardware RDRAND capabilities.
no-rfc3779
Don't build support for RFC3779 ("X.509 Extensions for IP
Addresses and AS Identifiers")
no-sct
??
sctp
Build support for SCTP
shared
In addition to the usual static libraries, create shared
libraries on platforms where it's supported. See "Note on
shared libraries" below.
no-asm Do not use assembler code.
no-sock
Don't build support for socket BIOs
386 On Intel hardware, use the 80386 instruction set only
(the default x86 code is more efficient, but requires at
least a 486). Note: Use compiler flags for any other CPU
specific configuration, e.g. "-m32" to build x86 code on
an x64 system.
no-srp
Don't build support for SRP or SRP based ciphersuites.
no-sse2 Exclude SSE2 code pathes. Normally SSE2 extension is
no-srtp
Don't build SRTP support
no-sse2
Exclude SSE2 code paths. Normally SSE2 extension is
detected at run-time, but the decision whether or not the
machine code will be executed is taken solely on CPU
capability vector. This means that if you happen to run OS

compiled with CPU_ENABLE_SSE, and there is a way to
disengage SSE2 code pathes upon application start-up,
but if you aim for wider "audience" running such kernel,
consider no-sse2. Both 386 and no-asm options above imply
consider no-sse2. Both 386 and no-the asm options imply
no-sse2.
no-<alg> Build without the specified algorithm (bf, cast, des, dh,
dsa, hmac, md2, md5, mdc2, rc2, rc4, rc5, rsa, sha).
enable-ssl-trace
Build with the SSL Trace capabilities (adds the "-trace"
option to s_client and s_server).
-Dxxx, -lxxx, These system specific options will be passed through to the
-Lxxx, -fxxx, compiler to allow you to define preprocessor symbols, specify
-mXXX, -Kxxx additional libraries, library directories or other compiler
no-static-engine
Don't build the statically linked engines. This only
has an impact when not built "shared".
no-stdio
Don't use any C "stdio" features. Only libcrypto and libssl
can be built in this way. Using this option will suppress
building the command line applications. Additionally since
the OpenSSL tests also use the command line applications the
tests will also be skipped.
no-threads
Don't try to build with support for multi-threaded
applications.
threads
Build with support for multi-threaded applications. Most
platforms will enable this by default. However if on a
platform where this is not the case then this will usually
require additional system-dependent options! See "Note on
multi-threading" below.
no-ts
Don't build Time Stamping Authority support.
no-ui
Don't build with the "UI" capability (i.e. the set of
features enabling text based prompts).
enable-unit-test
Enable additional unit test APIs. This should not typically
be used in production deployments.
enable-weak-ssl-ciphers
Build support for SSL/TLS ciphers that are considered "weak"
(e.g. RC4 based ciphersuites).
zlib
Build with support for zlib compression/decompression.
zlib-dynamic
Like "zlib", but has OpenSSL load the zlib library
dynamically when needed. This is only supported on systems
where loading of shared libraries is supported.
386
On Intel hardware, use the 80386 instruction set only
(the default x86 code is more efficient, but requires at
least a 486). Note: Use compiler flags for any other CPU
specific configuration, e.g. "-m32" to build x86 code on
an x64 system.
no-<prot>
Don't build support for negotiating the specified SSL/TLS
protocol (one of ssl, ssl3, tls, tls1, tls1_1, tls1_2, dtls,
dtls1 or dtls1_2). If "no-tls" is selected then all of tls1,
tls1_1 and tls1_2 are disabled. Similarly "no-dtls" will
disable dtls1 and dtls1_2. The "no-ssl" option is synonymous
with "no-ssl3". Note this only affects version negotiation.
OpenSSL will still provide the methods for applications to
explicitly select the individual protocol versions.
no-<prot>-method
As for no-<prot> but in addition do not build the methods for
applications to explicitly select individual protocol
versions.
enable-<alg>
Build with support for the specified algorithm, where <alg>
is one of: md2 or rc5.
no-<alg>
Build without support for the specified algorithm, where
<alg> is one of: bf, blake2, camellia, cast, chacha, cmac,
des, dh, dsa, ecdh, ecdsa, idea, md4, md5, mdc2, ocb,
ploy1305, rc2, rc4, rmd160, scrypt, seed or whirlpool. The
"ripemd" algorithm is deprecated and if used is synonymous
with rmd160.
-Dxxx, -lxxx, -Lxxx, -fxxx, -mXXX, -Kxxx
These system specific options will be passed through to the
compiler to allow you to define preprocessor symbols, specify
additional libraries, library directories or other compiler
options.
