This includes a complete rework of how we use TAP::Harness, by adding
a TAP::Parser subclass that allows additional callbacks to be passed
to perform what we need. The TAP::Parser callbacks we add are:
ALL to print all the TAP output to a file (conditionally)
to collect all the TAP output to an array (conditionally)
EOF to print all the collected TAP output (if there is any)
if any subtest failed
To get TAP output to file, the environment variable HARNESS_TAP_COPY
must be defined, with a file name as value. That file will be
overwritten unconditionally.
To get TAP output displayed on failure, the make variable VERBOSE_FAILURE
or VF must be defined with a non-emoty value.
Additionally, the output of test recipe names has been changed to only
display its basename.

OPENSSL INSTALLATION
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
This document describes installation on all supported operating
|
|
systems (the Unix/Linux family (which includes Mac OS/X), OpenVMS,
|
|
and Windows).
|
|
|
|
To install OpenSSL, you will need:
|
|
|
|
* A make implementation
|
|
* Perl 5 with core modules (please read NOTES.PERL)
|
|
* The perl module Text::Template (please read NOTES.PERL)
|
|
* an ANSI C compiler
|
|
* a development environment in the form of development libraries and C
|
|
header files
|
|
* a supported operating system
|
|
|
|
For additional platform specific requirements, solutions to specific
|
|
issues and other details, please read one of these:
|
|
|
|
* NOTES.UNIX (any supported Unix like system)
|
|
* NOTES.VMS (OpenVMS)
|
|
* NOTES.WIN (any supported Windows)
|
|
* NOTES.DJGPP (DOS platform with DJGPP)
|
|
* NOTES.ANDROID (obviously Android [NDK])
|
|
* NOTES.VALGRIND (testing with Valgrind)
|
|
|
|
Notational conventions in this document
|
|
---------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Throughout this document, we use the following conventions in command
|
|
examples:
|
|
|
|
$ command Any line starting with a dollar sign
|
|
($) is a command line.
|
|
|
|
{ word1 | word2 | word3 } This denotes a mandatory choice, to be
|
|
replaced with one of the given words.
|
|
A simple example would be this:
|
|
|
|
$ echo { FOO | BAR | COOKIE }
|
|
|
|
which is to be understood as one of
|
|
these:
|
|
|
|
$ echo FOO
|
|
- or -
|
|
$ echo BAR
|
|
- or -
|
|
$ echo COOKIE
|
|
|
|
[ word1 | word2 | word3 ] Similar to { word1 | word2 | word3 }
|
|
except it's optional to give any of
|
|
those. In addition to the examples
|
|
above, this would also be valid:
|
|
|
|
$ echo
|
|
|
|
{{ target }} This denotes a mandatory word or
|
|
sequence of words of some sort. A
|
|
simple example would be this:
|
|
|
|
$ type {{ filename }}
|
|
|
|
which is to be understood to use the
|
|
command 'type' on some file name
|
|
determined by the user.
|
|
|
|
[[ options ]] Similar to {{ target }}, but is
|
|
optional.
|
|
|
|
Note that the notation assumes spaces around {, }, [, ], {{, }} and
|
|
[[, ]]. This is to differentiate from OpenVMS directory
|
|
specifications, which also use [ and ], but without spaces.
|
|
|
|
Quick Start
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
If you want to just get on with it, do:
|
|
|
|
on Unix (again, this includes Mac OS/X):
|
|
|
|
$ ./config
|
|
$ make
|
|
$ make test
|
|
$ make install
|
|
|
|
on OpenVMS:
|
|
|
|
$ @config
|
|
$ mms
|
|
$ mms test
|
|
$ mms install
|
|
|
|
on Windows (only pick one of the targets for configuration):
|
|
|
|
$ perl Configure { VC-WIN32 | VC-WIN64A | VC-WIN64I | VC-CE }
|
|
$ nmake
|
|
$ nmake test
|
|
$ nmake install
|
|
|
|
Note that in order to perform the install step above you need to have
|
|
appropriate permissions to write to the installation directory.
|
|
|
|
If any of these steps fails, see section Installation in Detail below.
|
|
|
|
This will build and install OpenSSL in the default location, which is:
|
|
|
|
Unix: normal installation directories under /usr/local
|
|
OpenVMS: SYS$COMMON:[OPENSSL-'version'...], where 'version' is the
|
|
OpenSSL version number with underscores instead of periods.
|
|
Windows: C:\Program Files\OpenSSL or C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenSSL
|
|
|
|
The installation directory should be appropriately protected to ensure
|
|
unprivileged users cannot make changes to OpenSSL binaries or files, or install
|
|
engines. If you already have a pre-installed version of OpenSSL as part of
|
|
your Operating System it is recommended that you do not overwrite the system
|
|
version and instead install to somewhere else.
|
|
|
|
If you want to install it anywhere else, run config like this:
|
|
|
|
On Unix:
|
|
|
|
$ ./config --prefix=/opt/openssl --openssldir=/usr/local/ssl
|
|
|
|
On OpenVMS:
|
|
|
|
$ @config --prefix=PROGRAM:[INSTALLS] --openssldir=SYS$MANAGER:[OPENSSL]
|
|
|
|
(Note: if you do add options to the configuration command, please make sure
|
|
you've read more than just this Quick Start, such as relevant NOTES.* files,
|
|
the options outline below, as configuration options may change the outcome
|
|
in otherwise unexpected ways)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Configuration Options
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
There are several options to ./config (or ./Configure) to customize
|
|
the build (note that for Windows, the defaults for --prefix and
|
|
--openssldir depend in what configuration is used and what Windows
|
|
implementation OpenSSL is built on. More notes on this in NOTES.WIN):
|
|
|
|
--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. This is a rather specialized option
|
|
for developers. If you just intend to remove all deprecated
|
|
APIs entirely (up to the current version), it is easier
|
|
to add the 'no-deprecated' option instead (see below).
|
|
|
|
--cross-compile-prefix=PREFIX
|
|
The PREFIX to include in front of commands for your
|
|
toolchain. It's likely to have to end with dash, e.g.
|
|
a-b-c- would invoke GNU compiler as a-b-c-gcc, etc.
|
|
Unfortunately cross-compiling is too case-specific to
|
|
put together one-size-fits-all instructions. You might
|
|
have to pass more flags or set up environment variables
|
|
to actually make it work. Android and iOS cases are
|
|
discussed in corresponding Configurations/15-*.conf
|
|
files. But there are cases when this option alone is
|
|
sufficient. For example to build the mingw64 target on
|
|
Linux "--cross-compile-prefix=x86_64-w64-mingw32-"
|
|
works. Naturally provided that mingw packages are
|
|
installed. Today Debian and Ubuntu users have option to
|
|
install a number of prepackaged cross-compilers along
|
|
with corresponding run-time and development packages for
|
|
"alien" hardware. To give another example
|
|
"--cross-compile-prefix=mipsel-linux-gnu-" suffices
|
|
in such case. Needless to mention that you have to
|
|
invoke ./Configure, not ./config, and pass your target
|
|
name explicitly. Also, note that --openssldir refers
|
|
to target's file system, not one you are building on.
|
|
|
|
--debug
|
|
Build OpenSSL with debugging symbols and zero optimization
|
|
level.
|
|
|
|
--libdir=DIR
|
|
The name of the directory under the top of the installation
|
|
directory tree (see the --prefix option) where libraries will
|
|
be installed. By default this is "lib". Note that on Windows
|
|
only ".lib" files will be stored in this location. dll files
|
|
will always be installed to the "bin" directory.
|
|
|
|
--openssldir=DIR
|
|
Directory for OpenSSL configuration files, and also the
|
|
default certificate and key store. Defaults are:
|
|
|
|
Unix: /usr/local/ssl
|
|
Windows: C:\Program Files\Common Files\SSL
|
|
or C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\SSL
|
|
OpenVMS: SYS$COMMON:[OPENSSL-COMMON]
|
|
|
|
--prefix=DIR
|
|
The top of the installation directory tree. Defaults are:
|
|
|
|
Unix: /usr/local
|
|
Windows: C:\Program Files\OpenSSL
|
|
or C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenSSL
|
|
OpenVMS: SYS$COMMON:[OPENSSL-'version']
|
|
|
|
--release
|
|
Build OpenSSL without debugging symbols. This is the default.
|
|
|
|
--strict-warnings
|
|
This is a developer flag that switches on various compiler
|
|
options recommended for OpenSSL development. It only works
|
|
when using gcc or clang as the compiler. If you are
|
|
developing a patch for OpenSSL then it is recommended that
|
|
you use this option where possible.
|
|
|
|
--with-zlib-include=DIR
|
|
The directory for the location of the zlib include file. This
|
|
option is only necessary if enable-zlib (see below) is used
|
|
and the include file is not already on the system include
|
|
path.
|
|
|
|
--with-zlib-lib=LIB
|
|
On Unix: this is the directory containing the zlib library.
|
|
If not provided the system library path will be used.
|
|
On Windows: this is the filename of the zlib library (with or
|
|
without a path). This flag must be provided if the
|
|
zlib-dynamic option is not also used. If zlib-dynamic is used
|
|
then this flag is optional and a default value ("ZLIB1") is
|
|
used if not provided.
|
|
On VMS: this is the filename of the zlib library (with or
|
|
without a path). This flag is optional and if not provided
|
|
then "GNV$LIBZSHR", "GNV$LIBZSHR32" or "GNV$LIBZSHR64" is
|
|
used by default depending on the pointer size chosen.
|
|
|
|
|
|
--with-rand-seed=seed1[,seed2,...]
|
|
A comma separated list of seeding methods which will be tried
|
|
by OpenSSL in order to obtain random input (a.k.a "entropy")
|
|
for seeding its cryptographically secure random number
|
|
generator (CSPRNG). The current seeding methods are:
|
|
|
|
os: Use a trusted operating system entropy source.
|
|
This is the default method if such an entropy
|
|
source exists.
|
|
getrandom: Use the L<getrandom(2)> or equivalent system
|
|
call.
|
|
devrandom: Use the first device from the DEVRANDOM list
|
|
which can be opened to read random bytes. The
|
|
DEVRANDOM preprocessor constant expands to
|
|
"/dev/urandom","/dev/random","/dev/srandom" on
|
|
most unix-ish operating systems.
|
|
egd: Check for an entropy generating daemon.
|
|
rdcpu: Use the RDSEED or RDRAND command if provided by
|
|
the CPU.
|
|
librandom: Use librandom (not implemented yet).
|
|
none: Disable automatic seeding. This is the default
|
|
on some operating systems where no suitable
|
|
entropy source exists, or no support for it is
|
|
implemented yet.
|
|
|
|
For more information, see the section 'Note on random number
|
|
generation' at the end of this document.
|
|
|
|
no-afalgeng
|
|
Don't build the AFALG engine. This option will be forced if
|
|
on a platform that does not support AFALG.
|
|
|
|
enable-ktls
|
|
Build with Kernel TLS support. This option will enable the
|
|
use of the Kernel TLS data-path, which can improve
|
|
performance and allow for the use of sendfile and splice
|
|
system calls on TLS sockets. The Kernel may use TLS
|
|
accelerators if any are available on the system.
|
|
This option will be forced off on systems that do not support
|
|
the Kernel TLS data-path.
|
|
|
|
enable-asan
|
|
Build with the Address sanitiser. This is a developer option
|
|
only. It may not work on all platforms and should never be
|
|
used in production environments. It will only work when used
|
|
with gcc or clang and should be used in conjunction with the
|
|
no-shared option.
|
|
|
|
no-asm
|
|
Do not use assembler code. This should be viewed as
|
|
debugging/trouble-shooting option rather than production.
|
|
On some platforms a small amount of assembler code may
|
|
still be used even with this option.
|
|
|
|
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. This option will
|
|
force a non-shared build.
|
|
|
|
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-autoload-config
|
|
Don't automatically load the default openssl.cnf file.
|
|
Typically OpenSSL will automatically load a system config
|
|
file which configures default ssl options.
|
|
|
|
enable-buildtest-c++
|
|
While testing, generate C++ buildtest files that
|
|
simply check that the public OpenSSL header files
|
|
are usable standalone with C++.
|
|
|
|
Enabling this option demands extra care. For any
|
|
compiler flag given directly as configuration
|
|
option, you must ensure that it's valid for both
|
|
the C and the C++ compiler. If not, the C++ build
|
|
test will most likely break. As an alternative,
|
|
you can use the language specific variables, CFLAGS
|
|
and CXXFLAGS.
|
|
|
|
no-capieng
|
|
Don't build the CAPI engine. This option will be forced if
|
|
on a platform that does not support CAPI.
|
|
|
|
no-cmp
|
|
Don't build support for CMP features
|
|
|
|
no-cms
|
|
Don't build support for CMS features
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
enable-crypto-mdebug
|
|
Build support for debugging memory allocated via
|
|
OPENSSL_malloc() or OPENSSL_zalloc().
|
|
|
|
enable-crypto-mdebug-backtrace
|
|
As for crypto-mdebug, but additionally provide backtrace
|
|
information for allocated memory.
|
|
TO BE USED WITH CARE: this uses GNU C functionality, and
|
|
is therefore not usable for non-GNU config targets. If
|
|
your build complains about the use of '-rdynamic' or the
|
|
lack of header file execinfo.h, this option is not for you.
|
|
ALSO NOTE that even though execinfo.h is available on your
|
|
system (through Gnulib), the functions might just be stubs
|
|
that do nothing.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
enable-devcryptoeng
|
|
Build the /dev/crypto engine. It is automatically selected
|
|
on BSD implementations, in which case it can be disabled with
|
|
no-devcryptoeng.
|
|
|
|
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 platforms:
|
|
- with little-endian storage of non-byte types
|
|
- that tolerate misaligned memory references
|
|
- where the compiler:
|
|
- supports the non-standard type __uint128_t
|
|
- defines the built-in macro __SIZEOF_INT128__
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
enable-external-tests
|
|
Enable building of integration with external test suites.
|
|
This is a developer option and may not work on all platforms.
|
|
The only supported external test suite at the current time is
|
|
the BoringSSL test suite. See the file test/README.external
|
|
for further details.
|
|
|
|
no-filenames
|
|
Don't compile in filename and line number information (e.g.
|
|
for errors and memory allocation).
|
|
|
|
no-fips
|
|
Don't compile the FIPS module
|
|
|
|
enable-fuzz-libfuzzer, enable-fuzz-afl
|
|
Build with support for fuzzing using either libfuzzer or AFL.
|
|
These are developer options only. They may not work on all
|
|
platforms and should never be used in production environments.
|
|
See the file fuzz/README.md for further details.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
no-legacy
|
|
Don't build the legacy provider. Disabling this also disables
|
|
the legacy algorithms: MD2 (already disabled by default).
|
|
|
|
no-makedepend
|
|
Don't generate dependencies.
|
|
|
|
no-module
|
|
Don't build any dynamically loadable engines. This also
|
|
implies 'no-dynamic-engine'.
|
|
|
|
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-padlockeng
|
|
no-hw-padlock
|
|
Don't build the padlock engine.
|
|
('no-hw-padlock' is deprecated and should not be used)
|
|
|
|
no-pic
|
|
Don't build with support for Position Independent Code.
|
|
|
|
no-pinshared By default OpenSSL will attempt to stay in memory until the
|
|
process exits. This is so that libcrypto and libssl can be
|
|
properly cleaned up automatically via an "atexit()" handler.
|
|
The handler is registered by libcrypto and cleans up both
|
|
libraries. On some platforms the atexit() handler will run on
|
|
unload of libcrypto (if it has been dynamically loaded)
|
|
rather than at process exit. This option can be used to stop
|
|
OpenSSL from attempting to stay in memory until the process
|
|
exits. This could lead to crashes if either libcrypto or
|
|
libssl have already been unloaded at the point
|
|
that the atexit handler is invoked, e.g. on a platform which
|
|
calls atexit() on unload of the library, and libssl is
|
|
unloaded before libcrypto then a crash is likely to happen.
|
|
Applications can suppress running of the atexit() handler at
|
|
run time by using the OPENSSL_INIT_NO_ATEXIT option to
|
|
OPENSSL_init_crypto(). See the man page for it for further
|
|
details.
|
|
|
|
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")
|
|
|
|
sctp
|
|
Build support for SCTP
|
|
|
|
no-shared
|
|
Do not create shared libraries, only static ones. See "Note
|
|
on shared libraries" below.
|
|
|
|
no-sock
|
|
Don't build support for socket BIOs
|
|
|
|
no-srp
|
|
Don't build support for SRP or SRP based ciphersuites.
|
|
|
|
no-srtp
|
|
Don't build SRTP support
|
|
|
|
no-sse2
|
|
Exclude SSE2 code paths from 32-bit x86 assembly modules.
|
|
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 kernel which does not support SSE2
|
|
extension on Intel P4 processor, then your application
|
|
might be exposed to "illegal instruction" exception.
|
|
There might be a way to enable support in kernel, e.g.
|
|
FreeBSD kernel can be compiled with CPU_ENABLE_SSE, and
|
|
there is a way to disengage SSE2 code paths upon application
|
|
start-up, but if you aim for wider "audience" running
|
|
such kernel, consider no-sse2. Both the 386 and
|
|
no-asm options imply no-sse2.
|
|
|
|
enable-ssl-trace
|
|
Build with the SSL Trace capabilities (adds the "-trace"
|
|
option to s_client and s_server).
|
|
|
|
no-static-engine
|
|
Don't build the statically linked engines. This only
|
|
has an impact when not built "shared".
|
|
|
|
no-stdio
|
|
Don't use anything from the C header file "stdio.h" that
|
|
makes use of the "FILE" type. 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-tests
|
|
Don't build test programs or run any test.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
enable-trace
|
|
Build with support for the integrated tracing api. See manual pages
|
|
OSSL_trace_set_channel(3) and OSSL_trace_enabled(3) for details.
|
|
|
|
no-ts
|
|
Don't build Time Stamping Authority support.
|
|
|
|
enable-ubsan
|
|
Build with the Undefined Behaviour sanitiser. This is a
|
|
developer option only. It may not work on all platforms and
|
|
should never be used in production environments. It will only
|
|
work when used with gcc or clang and should be used in
|
|
conjunction with the "-DPEDANTIC" option (or the
|
|
--strict-warnings option).
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
no-uplink
|
|
Don't build support for UPLINK interface.
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
In 32-bit x86 builds, when generating assembly modules,
|
|
use the 80386 instruction set only (the default x86 code
|
|
is more efficient, but requires at least a 486). Note:
|
|
This doesn't affect code generated by compiler, you're
|
|
likely to complement configuration command line with
|
|
suitable compiler-specific option.
|
|
|
|
no-<prot>
|
|
Don't build support for negotiating the specified SSL/TLS
|
|
protocol (one of ssl, ssl3, tls, tls1, tls1_1, tls1_2,
|
|
tls1_3, dtls, dtls1 or dtls1_2). If "no-tls" is selected then
|
|
all of tls1, tls1_1, tls1_2 and tls1_3 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. Note that there is no "no-tls1_3-method" option
|
|
because there is no application method for TLSv1.3. Using
|
|
individual protocol methods directly is deprecated.
|
|
Applications should use TLS_method() instead.
|
|
|
|
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: aria, bf, blake2, camellia, cast, chacha,
|
|
cmac, des, dh, dsa, ecdh, ecdsa, idea, md4, mdc2, ocb,
|
|
poly1305, rc2, rc4, rmd160, scrypt, seed, siphash, siv, sm2,
|
|
sm3, sm4 or whirlpool. The "ripemd" algorithm is deprecated
|
|
and if used is synonymous with rmd160.
|
|
|
|
-Dxxx, -Ixxx, -Wp, -lxxx, -Lxxx, -Wl, -rpath, -R, -framework, -static
|
|
These system specific options will be recognised and
|
|
passed through to the compiler to allow you to define
|
|
preprocessor symbols, specify additional libraries, library
|
|
directories or other compiler options. It might be worth
|
|
noting that some compilers generate code specifically for
|
|
processor the compiler currently executes on. This is not
|
|
necessarily what you might have in mind, since it might be
|
|
unsuitable for execution on other, typically older,
|
|
processor. Consult your compiler documentation.
|
|
|
|
Take note of the VAR=value documentation below and how
|
|
these flags interact with those variables.
|
|
|
|
-xxx, +xxx
|
|
Additional options that are not otherwise recognised are
|
|
passed through as they are to the compiler as well. Again,
|
|
consult your compiler documentation.
|
|
|
|
Take note of the VAR=value documentation below and how
|
|
these flags interact with those variables.
|
|
|
|
VAR=value
|
|
Assignment of environment variable for Configure. These
|
|
work just like normal environment variable assignments,
|
|
but are supported on all platforms and are confined to
|
|
the configuration scripts only. These assignments override
|
|
the corresponding value in the inherited environment, if
|
|
there is one.
|
|
|
|
The following variables are used as "make variables" and
|
|
can be used as an alternative to giving preprocessor,
|
|
compiler and linker options directly as configuration.
|
|
The following variables are supported:
|
|
|
|
AR The static library archiver.
|
|
ARFLAGS Flags for the static library archiver.
|
|
AS The assembler compiler.
|
|
ASFLAGS Flags for the assembler compiler.
|
|
CC The C compiler.
|
|
CFLAGS Flags for the C compiler.
|
|
CXX The C++ compiler.
|
|
CXXFLAGS Flags for the C++ compiler.
|
|
CPP The C/C++ preprocessor.
|
|
CPPFLAGS Flags for the C/C++ preprocessor.
|
|
CPPDEFINES List of CPP macro definitions, separated
|
|
by a platform specific character (':' or
|
|
space for Unix, ';' for Windows, ',' for
|
|
VMS). This can be used instead of using
|
|
-D (or what corresponds to that on your
|
|
compiler) in CPPFLAGS.
|
|
CPPINCLUDES List of CPP inclusion directories, separated
|
|
the same way as for CPPDEFINES. This can
|
|
be used instead of -I (or what corresponds
|
|
to that on your compiler) in CPPFLAGS.
|
|
HASHBANGPERL Perl invocation to be inserted after '#!'
|
|
in public perl scripts (only relevant on
|
|
Unix).
|
|
LD The program linker (not used on Unix, $(CC)
|
|
is used there).
|
|
LDFLAGS Flags for the shared library, DSO and
|
|
program linker.
|
|
LDLIBS Extra libraries to use when linking.
|
|
Takes the form of a space separated list
|
|
of library specifications on Unix and
|
|
Windows, and as a comma separated list of
|
|
libraries on VMS.
|
|
RANLIB The library archive indexer.
|
|
RC The Windows resource compiler.
|
|
RCFLAGS Flags for the Windows resource compiler.
|
|
RM The command to remove files and directories.
|
|
|
|
These cannot be mixed with compiling / linking flags given
|
|
on the command line. In other words, something like this
|
|
isn't permitted.
|
|
|
|
./config -DFOO CPPFLAGS=-DBAR -DCOOKIE
|
|
|
|
Backward compatibility note:
|
|
|
|
To be compatible with older configuration scripts, the
|
|
environment variables are ignored if compiling / linking
|
|
flags are given on the command line, except for these:
|
|
|
|
AR, CC, CXX, CROSS_COMPILE, HASHBANGPERL, PERL, RANLIB, RC
|
|
and WINDRES
|
|
|
|
For example, the following command will not see -DBAR:
|
|
|
|
CPPFLAGS=-DBAR ./config -DCOOKIE
|
|
|
|
However, the following will see both set variables:
|
|
|
|
CC=gcc CROSS_COMPILE=x86_64-w64-mingw32- \
|
|
./config -DCOOKIE
|
|
|
|
If CC is set, it is advisable to also set CXX to ensure
|
|
both C and C++ compilers are in the same "family". This
|
|
becomes relevant with 'enable-external-tests' and
|
|
'enable-buildtest-c++'.
|
|
|
|
reconf
|
|
reconfigure
|
|
Reconfigure from earlier data. This fetches the previous
|
|
command line options and environment from data saved in
|
|
"configdata.pm", and runs the configuration process again,
|
|
using these options and environment.
|
|
Note: NO other option is permitted together with "reconf".
|
|
This means that you also MUST use "./Configure" (or
|
|
what corresponds to that on non-Unix platforms) directly
|
|
to invoke this option.
|
|
Note: The original configuration saves away values for ALL
|
|
environment variables that were used, and if they weren't
|
|
defined, they are still saved away with information that
|
|
they weren't originally defined. This information takes
|
|
precedence over environment variables that are defined
|
|
when reconfiguring.
|
|
|
|
Displaying configuration data
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
The configuration script itself will say very little, and finishes by
|
|
creating "configdata.pm". This perl module can be loaded by other scripts
|
|
to find all the configuration data, and it can also be used as a script to
|
|
display all sorts of configuration data in a human readable form.
|
|
|
|
For more information, please do:
|
|
|
|
$ ./configdata.pm --help # Unix
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
$ perl configdata.pm --help # Windows and VMS
|
|
|
|
Installation in Detail
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
1a. Configure OpenSSL for your operation system automatically:
|
|
|
|
NOTE: This is not available on Windows.
|
|
|
|
$ ./config [[ options ]] # Unix
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
$ @config [[ options ]] ! OpenVMS
|
|
|
|
For the remainder of this text, the Unix form will be used in all
|
|
examples, please use the appropriate form for your platform.
|
|
|
|
This guesses at your operating system (and compiler, if necessary) and
|
|
configures OpenSSL based on this guess. Run ./config -t to see
|
|
if it guessed correctly. If you want to use a different compiler, you
|
|
are cross-compiling for another platform, or the ./config guess was
|
|
wrong for other reasons, go to step 1b. Otherwise go to step 2.
|
|
|
|
On some systems, you can include debugging information as follows:
|
|
|
|
$ ./config -d [[ options ]]
|
|
|
|
1b. Configure OpenSSL for your operating system manually
|
|
|
|
OpenSSL knows about a range of different operating system, hardware and
|
|
compiler combinations. To see the ones it knows about, run
|
|
|
|
$ ./Configure # Unix
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
$ perl Configure # All other platforms
|
|
|
|
For the remainder of this text, the Unix form will be used in all
|
|
examples, please use the appropriate form for your platform.
|
|
|
|
Pick a suitable name from the list that matches your system. For most
|
|
operating systems there is a choice between using "cc" or "gcc". When
|
|
you have identified your system (and if necessary compiler) use this name
|
|
as the argument to Configure. For example, a "linux-elf" user would
|
|
run:
|
|
|
|
$ ./Configure linux-elf [[ options ]]
|
|
|
|
If your system isn't listed, you will have to create a configuration
|
|
file named Configurations/{{ something }}.conf and add the correct
|
|
configuration for your system. See the available configs as examples
|
|
and read Configurations/README and Configurations/README.design for
|
|
more information.
|
|
|
|
The generic configurations "cc" or "gcc" should usually work on 32 bit
|
|
Unix-like systems.
|
|
|
|
Configure creates a build file ("Makefile" on Unix, "makefile" on Windows
|
|
and "descrip.mms" on OpenVMS) from a suitable template in Configurations,
|
|
and defines various macros in include/openssl/opensslconf.h (generated from
|
|
include/openssl/opensslconf.h.in).
|
|
|
|
1c. Configure OpenSSL for building outside of the source tree.
|
|
|
|
OpenSSL can be configured to build in a build directory separate from
|
|
the directory with the source code. It's done by placing yourself in
|
|
some other directory and invoking the configuration commands from
|
|
there.
|
|
|
|
Unix example:
|
|
|
|
$ mkdir /var/tmp/openssl-build
|
|
$ cd /var/tmp/openssl-build
|
|
$ /PATH/TO/OPENSSL/SOURCE/config [[ options ]]
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
$ /PATH/TO/OPENSSL/SOURCE/Configure {{ target }} [[ options ]]
|
|
|
|
OpenVMS example:
|
|
|
|
$ set default sys$login:
|
|
$ create/dir [.tmp.openssl-build]
|
|
$ set default [.tmp.openssl-build]
|
|
$ @[PATH.TO.OPENSSL.SOURCE]config [[ options ]]
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
$ @[PATH.TO.OPENSSL.SOURCE]Configure {{ target }} [[ options ]]
|
|
|
|
Windows example:
|
|
|
|
$ C:
|
|
$ mkdir \temp-openssl
|
|
$ cd \temp-openssl
|
|
$ perl d:\PATH\TO\OPENSSL\SOURCE\Configure {{ target }} [[ options ]]
|
|
|
|
Paths can be relative just as well as absolute. Configure will
|
|
do its best to translate them to relative paths whenever possible.
|
|
|
|
2. Build OpenSSL by running:
|
|
|
|
$ make # Unix
|
|
$ mms ! (or mmk) OpenVMS
|
|
$ nmake # Windows
|
|
|
|
This will build the OpenSSL libraries (libcrypto.a and libssl.a on
|
|
Unix, corresponding on other platforms) and the OpenSSL binary
|
|
("openssl"). The libraries will be built in the top-level directory,
|
|
and the binary will be in the "apps" subdirectory.
|
|
|
|
Troubleshooting:
|
|
|
|
If the build fails, look at the output. There may be reasons
|
|
for the failure that aren't problems in OpenSSL itself (like
|
|
missing standard headers).
|
|
|
|
If the build succeeded previously, but fails after a source or
|
|
configuration change, it might be helpful to clean the build tree
|
|
before attempting another build. Use this command:
|
|
|
|
$ make clean # Unix
|
|
$ mms clean ! (or mmk) OpenVMS
|
|
$ nmake clean # Windows
|
|
|
|
Assembler error messages can sometimes be sidestepped by using the
|
|
"no-asm" configuration option.
|
|
|
|
Compiling parts of OpenSSL with gcc and others with the system
|
|
compiler will result in unresolved symbols on some systems.
|
|
|
|
If you are still having problems you can get help by sending an email
|
|
to the openssl-users email list (see
|
|
https://www.openssl.org/community/mailinglists.html for details). If
|
|
it is a bug with OpenSSL itself, please open an issue on GitHub, at
|
|
https://github.com/openssl/openssl/issues. Please review the existing
|
|
ones first; maybe the bug was already reported or has already been
|
|
fixed.
|
|
|
|
3. After a successful build, the libraries should be tested. Run:
|
|
|
|
$ make test # Unix
|
|
$ mms test ! OpenVMS
|
|
$ nmake test # Windows
|
|
|
|
NOTE: you MUST run the tests from an unprivileged account (or
|
|
disable your privileges temporarily if your platform allows it).
|
|
|
|
If some tests fail, look at the output. There may be reasons for
|
|
the failure that isn't a problem in OpenSSL itself (like a
|
|
malfunction with Perl). You may want increased verbosity, that
|
|
can be accomplished like this:
|
|
|
|
Verbosity on failure only (make macro VERBOSE_FAILURE or VF):
|
|
|
|
$ make VF=1 test # Unix
|
|
$ mms /macro=(VF=1) test ! OpenVMS
|
|
$ nmake VF=1 test # Windows
|
|
|
|
Full verbosity (make macro VERBOSE or V):
|
|
|
|
$ make V=1 test # Unix
|
|
$ mms /macro=(V=1) test ! OpenVMS
|
|
$ nmake V=1 test # Windows
|
|
|
|
If you want to run just one or a few specific tests, you can use
|
|
the make variable TESTS to specify them, like this:
|
|
|
|
$ make TESTS='test_rsa test_dsa' test # Unix
|
|
$ mms/macro="TESTS=test_rsa test_dsa" test ! OpenVMS
|
|
$ nmake TESTS='test_rsa test_dsa' test # Windows
|
|
|
|
And of course, you can combine (Unix example shown):
|
|
|
|
$ make VF=1 TESTS='test_rsa test_dsa' test
|
|
|
|
You can find the list of available tests like this:
|
|
|
|
$ make list-tests # Unix
|
|
$ mms list-tests ! OpenVMS
|
|
$ nmake list-tests # Windows
|
|
|
|
Have a look at the manual for the perl module Test::Harness to
|
|
see what other HARNESS_* variables there are.
|
|
|
|
If you find a problem with OpenSSL itself, try removing any
|
|
compiler optimization flags from the CFLAGS line in Makefile and
|
|
run "make clean; make" or corresponding.
|
|
|
|
To report a bug please open an issue on GitHub, at
|
|
https://github.com/openssl/openssl/issues.
|
|
|
|
For more details on how the make variables TESTS can be used,
|
|
see section TESTS in Detail below.
|
|
|
|
4. If everything tests ok, install OpenSSL with
|
|
|
|
$ make install # Unix
|
|
$ mms install ! OpenVMS
|
|
$ nmake install # Windows
|
|
|
|
Note that in order to perform the install step above you need to have
|
|
appropriate permissions to write to the installation directory.
|
|
|
|
The above commands will install all the software components in this
|
|
directory tree under PREFIX (the directory given with --prefix or its
|
|
default):
|
|
|
|
Unix:
|
|
|
|
bin/ Contains the openssl binary and a few other
|
|
utility scripts.
|
|
include/openssl
|
|
Contains the header files needed if you want
|
|
to build your own programs that use libcrypto
|
|
or libssl.
|
|
lib Contains the OpenSSL library files.
|
|
lib/engines Contains the OpenSSL dynamically loadable engines.
|
|
|
|
share/man/man1 Contains the OpenSSL command line man-pages.
|
|
share/man/man3 Contains the OpenSSL library calls man-pages.
|
|
share/man/man5 Contains the OpenSSL configuration format man-pages.
|
|
share/man/man7 Contains the OpenSSL other misc man-pages.
|
|
|
|
share/doc/openssl/html/man1
|
|
share/doc/openssl/html/man3
|
|
share/doc/openssl/html/man5
|
|
share/doc/openssl/html/man7
|
|
Contains the HTML rendition of the man-pages.
|
|
|
|
OpenVMS ('arch' is replaced with the architecture name, "Alpha"
|
|
or "ia64", 'sover' is replaced with the shared library version
|
|
(0101 for 1.1), and 'pz' is replaced with the pointer size
|
|
OpenSSL was built with):
|
|
|
|
[.EXE.'arch'] Contains the openssl binary.
|
|
[.EXE] Contains a few utility scripts.
|
|
[.include.openssl]
|
|
Contains the header files needed if you want
|
|
to build your own programs that use libcrypto
|
|
or libssl.
|
|
[.LIB.'arch'] Contains the OpenSSL library files.
|
|
[.ENGINES'sover''pz'.'arch']
|
|
Contains the OpenSSL dynamically loadable engines.
|
|
[.SYS$STARTUP] Contains startup, login and shutdown scripts.
|
|
These define appropriate logical names and
|
|
command symbols.
|
|
[.SYSTEST] Contains the installation verification procedure.
|
|
[.HTML] Contains the HTML rendition of the manual pages.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Additionally, install will add the following directories under
|
|
OPENSSLDIR (the directory given with --openssldir or its default)
|
|
for you convenience:
|
|
|
|
certs Initially empty, this is the default location
|
|
for certificate files.
|
|
private Initially empty, this is the default location
|
|
for private key files.
|
|
misc Various scripts.
|
|
|
|
The installation directory should be appropriately protected to ensure
|
|
unprivileged users cannot make changes to OpenSSL binaries or files, or
|
|
install engines. If you already have a pre-installed version of OpenSSL as
|
|
part of your Operating System it is recommended that you do not overwrite
|
|
the system version and instead install to somewhere else.
|
|
|
|
Package builders who want to configure the library for standard
|
|
locations, but have the package installed somewhere else so that
|
|
it can easily be packaged, can use
|
|
|
|
$ make DESTDIR=/tmp/package-root install # Unix
|
|
$ mms/macro="DESTDIR=TMP:[PACKAGE-ROOT]" install ! OpenVMS
|
|
|
|
The specified destination directory will be prepended to all
|
|
installation target paths.
|
|
|
|
Compatibility issues with previous OpenSSL versions:
|
|
|
|
* COMPILING existing applications
|
|
|
|
Starting with version 1.1.0, OpenSSL hides a number of structures
|
|
that were previously open. This includes all internal libssl
|
|
structures and a number of EVP types. Accessor functions have
|
|
been added to allow controlled access to the structures' data.
|
|
|
|
This means that some software needs to be rewritten to adapt to
|
|
the new ways of doing things. This often amounts to allocating
|
|
an instance of a structure explicitly where you could previously
|
|
allocate them on the stack as automatic variables, and using the
|
|
provided accessor functions where you would previously access a
|
|
structure's field directly.
|
|
|
|
Some APIs have changed as well. However, older APIs have been
|
|
preserved when possible.

|
|
|
A number of environment variables can be used to provide additional control
|
|
over the build process. Typically these should be defined prior to running
|
|
config or Configure. Not all environment variables are relevant to all
|
|
platforms.
|
|
|
|
AR
|
|
The name of the ar executable to use.
|
|
|
|
BUILDFILE
|
|
Use a different build file name than the platform default
|
|
("Makefile" on Unix-like platforms, "makefile" on native Windows,
|
|
"descrip.mms" on OpenVMS). This requires that there is a
|
|
corresponding build file template. See Configurations/README
|
|
for further information.
|
|
|
|
CC
|
|
The compiler to use. Configure will attempt to pick a default
|
|
compiler for your platform but this choice can be overridden
|
|
using this variable. Set it to the compiler executable you wish
|
|
to use, e.g. "gcc" or "clang".
|
|
|
|
CROSS_COMPILE
|
|
This environment variable has the same meaning as for the
|
|
"--cross-compile-prefix" Configure flag described above. If both
|
|
are set then the Configure flag takes precedence.
|
|
|
|
NM
|
|
The name of the nm executable to use.
|
|
|
|
OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR
|
|
OpenSSL comes with a database of information about how it
|
|
should be built on different platforms as well as build file
|
|
templates for those platforms. The database is comprised of
|
|
".conf" files in the Configurations directory. The build
|
|
file templates reside there as well as ".tmpl" files. See the
|
|
file Configurations/README for further information about the
|
|
format of ".conf" files as well as information on the ".tmpl"
|
|
files.
|
|
In addition to the standard ".conf" and ".tmpl" files, it is
|
|
possible to create your own ".conf" and ".tmpl" files and store
|
|
them locally, outside the OpenSSL source tree. This environment
|
|
variable can be set to the directory where these files are held
|
|
and will be considered by Configure before it looks in the
|
|
standard directories.
|
|
|
|
PERL
|
|
The name of the Perl executable to use when building OpenSSL.
|
|
This variable is used in config script only. Configure on the
|
|
other hand imposes the interpreter by which it itself was
|
|
executed on the whole build procedure.
|
|
|
|
HASHBANGPERL
|
|
The command string for the Perl executable to insert in the
|
|
#! line of perl scripts that will be publically installed.
|
|
Default: /usr/bin/env perl
|
|
Note: the value of this variable is added to the same scripts
|
|
on all platforms, but it's only relevant on Unix-like platforms.
|
|
|
|
RC
|
|
The name of the rc executable to use. The default will be as
|
|
defined for the target platform in the ".conf" file. If not
|
|
defined then "windres" will be used. The WINDRES environment
|
|
variable is synonymous to this. If both are defined then RC
|
|
takes precedence.
|
|
|
|
RANLIB
|
|
The name of the ranlib executable to use.
|
|
|
|
WINDRES
|
|
See RC.
|
|
|
|
Makefile targets
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
The Configure script generates a Makefile in a format relevant to the specific
|
|
platform. The Makefiles provide a number of targets that can be used. Not all
|
|
targets may be available on all platforms. Only the most common targets are
|
|
described here. Examine the Makefiles themselves for the full list.
|
|
|
|
all
|
|
The default target to build all the software components.
|
|
|
|
clean
|
|
Remove all build artefacts and return the directory to a "clean"
|
|
state.
|
|
|
|
depend
|
|
Rebuild the dependencies in the Makefiles. This is a legacy
|
|
option that no longer needs to be used since OpenSSL 1.1.0.
|
|
|
|
install
|
|
Install all OpenSSL components.
|
|
|
|
install_sw
|
|
Only install the OpenSSL software components.
|
|
|
|
install_docs
|
|
Only install the OpenSSL documentation components.
|
|
|
|
install_man_docs
|
|
Only install the OpenSSL man pages (Unix only).
|
|
|
|
install_html_docs
|
|
Only install the OpenSSL html documentation.
|
|
|
|
list-tests
|
|
Prints a list of all the self test names.
|
|
|
|
test
|
|
Build and run the OpenSSL self tests.
|
|
|
|
uninstall
|
|
Uninstall all OpenSSL components.
|
|
|
|
reconfigure
|
|
reconf
|
|
Re-run the configuration process, as exactly as the last time
|
|
as possible.
|
|
|
|
update
|
|
This is a developer option. If you are developing a patch for
|
|
OpenSSL you may need to use this if you want to update
|
|
automatically generated files; add new error codes or add new
|
|
(or change the visibility of) public API functions. (Unix only).
|
|
|
|
TESTS in Detail
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
The make variable TESTS supports a versatile set of space separated tokens
|
|
with which you can specify a set of tests to be performed. With a "current
|
|
set of tests" in mind, initially being empty, here are the possible tokens:
|
|
|
|
alltests The current set of tests becomes the whole set of available
|
|
tests (as listed when you do 'make list-tests' or similar).
|
|
xxx Adds the test 'xxx' to the current set of tests.
|
|
-xxx Removes 'xxx' from the current set of tests. If this is the
|
|
first token in the list, the current set of tests is first
|
|
assigned the whole set of available tests, effectively making
|
|
this token equivalent to TESTS="alltests -xxx".
|
|
nn Adds the test group 'nn' (which is a number) to the current
|
|
set of tests.
|
|
-nn Removes the test group 'nn' from the current set of tests.
|
|
If this is the first token in the list, the current set of
|
|
tests is first assigned the whole set of available tests,
|
|
effectively making this token equivalent to
|
|
TESTS="alltests -xxx".
|
|
|
|
Also, all tokens except for "alltests" may have wildcards, such as *.
|
|
(on Unix and Windows, BSD style wildcards are supported, while on VMS,
|
|
it's VMS style wildcards)
|
|
|
|
Example: All tests except for the fuzz tests:
|
|
|
|
$ make TESTS=-test_fuzz test
|
|
|
|
or (if you want to be explicit)
|
|
|
|
$ make TESTS='alltests -test_fuzz' test
|
|
|
|
Example: All tests that have a name starting with "test_ssl" but not those
|
|
starting with "test_ssl_":
|
|
|
|
$ make TESTS='test_ssl* -test_ssl_*' test
|
|
|
|
Example: Only test group 10:
|
|
|
|
$ make TESTS='10'
|
|
|
|
Example: All tests except the slow group (group 99):
|
|
|
|
$ make TESTS='-99'
|
|
|
|
Example: All tests in test groups 80 to 99 except for tests in group 90:
|
|
|
|
$ make TESTS='[89]? -90'
|
|
|
|
To stochastically verify that the algorithm that produces uniformly distributed
|
|
random numbers is operating correctly (with a false positive rate of 0.01%):
|
|
|
|
$ ./util/shlib_wrap.sh test/bntest -stochastic
|
|
|
|
Note on multi-threading
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
For some systems, the OpenSSL Configure script knows what compiler options
|
|
are needed to generate a library that is suitable for multi-threaded
|
|
applications. On these systems, support for multi-threading is enabled
|
|
by default; use the "no-threads" option to disable (this should never be
|
|
necessary).
|
|
|
|
On other systems, to enable support for multi-threading, you will have
|
|
to specify at least two options: "threads", and a system-dependent option.
|
|
(The latter is "-D_REENTRANT" on various systems.) The default in this
|
|
case, obviously, is not to include support for multi-threading (but
|
|
you can still use "no-threads" to suppress an annoying warning message
|
|
from the Configure script.)
|
|
|
|
OpenSSL provides built-in support for two threading models: pthreads (found on
|
|
most UNIX/Linux systems), and Windows threads. No other threading models are
|
|
supported. If your platform does not provide pthreads or Windows threads then
|
|
you should Configure with the "no-threads" option.
|
|
|
|
Notes on shared libraries
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
For most systems the OpenSSL Configure script knows what is needed to
|
|
build shared libraries for libcrypto and libssl. On these systems
|
|
the shared libraries will be created by default. This can be suppressed and
|
|
only static libraries created by using the "no-shared" option. On systems
|
|
where OpenSSL does not know how to build shared libraries the "no-shared"
|
|
option will be forced and only static libraries will be created.
|
|
|
|
Shared libraries are named a little differently on different platforms.
|
|
One way or another, they all have the major OpenSSL version number as
|
|
part of the file name, i.e. for OpenSSL 1.1.x, 1.1 is somehow part of
|
|
the name.
|
|
|
|
On most POSIX platforms, shared libraries are named libcrypto.so.1.1
|
|
and libssl.so.1.1.
|
|
|
|
on Cygwin, shared libraries are named cygcrypto-1.1.dll and cygssl-1.1.dll
|
|
with import libraries libcrypto.dll.a and libssl.dll.a.
|
|
|
|
On Windows build with MSVC or using MingW, shared libraries are named
|
|
libcrypto-1_1.dll and libssl-1_1.dll for 32-bit Windows, libcrypto-1_1-x64.dll
|
|
and libssl-1_1-x64.dll for 64-bit x86_64 Windows, and libcrypto-1_1-ia64.dll
|
|
and libssl-1_1-ia64.dll for IA64 Windows. With MSVC, the import libraries
|
|
are named libcrypto.lib and libssl.lib, while with MingW, they are named
|
|
libcrypto.dll.a and libssl.dll.a.
|
|
|
|
On VMS, shareable images (VMS speak for shared libraries) are named
|
|
ossl$libcrypto0101_shr.exe and ossl$libssl0101_shr.exe. However, when
|
|
OpenSSL is specifically built for 32-bit pointers, the shareable images
|
|
are named ossl$libcrypto0101_shr32.exe and ossl$libssl0101_shr32.exe
|
|
instead, and when built for 64-bit pointers, they are named
|
|
ossl$libcrypto0101_shr64.exe and ossl$libssl0101_shr64.exe.
|
|
|
|
Note on random number generation
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Availability of cryptographically secure random numbers is required for
|
|
secret key generation. OpenSSL provides several options to seed the
|
|
internal CSPRNG. If not properly seeded, the internal CSPRNG will refuse
|
|
to deliver random bytes and a "PRNG not seeded error" will occur.
|
|
|
|
The seeding method can be configured using the --with-rand-seed option,
|
|
which can be used to specify a comma separated list of seed methods.
|
|
However in most cases OpenSSL will choose a suitable default method,
|
|
so it is not necessary to explicitly provide this option. Note also
|
|
that not all methods are available on all platforms.
|
|
|
|
I) On operating systems which provide a suitable randomness source (in
|
|
form of a system call or system device), OpenSSL will use the optimal
|
|
available method to seed the CSPRNG from the operating system's
|
|
randomness sources. This corresponds to the option --with-rand-seed=os.
|
|
|
|
II) On systems without such a suitable randomness source, automatic seeding
|
|
and reseeding is disabled (--with-rand-seed=none) and it may be necessary
|
|
to install additional support software to obtain a random seed and reseed
|
|
the CSPRNG manually. Please check out the manual pages for RAND_add(),
|
|
RAND_bytes(), RAND_egd(), and the FAQ for more information.
