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])
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
--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 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.
|
|
|
|
no-capieng
|
|
Don't build the CAPI engine. This option will be forced if
|
|
on a platform that does not support CAPI.
|
|
|
|
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-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 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).
|
|
|
|
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-hw-padlock
|
|
Don't build the padlock engine.
|
|
|
|
no-makedepend
|
|
Don't generate dependencies.
|
|
|
|
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-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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
$ make VERBOSE=1 test # Unix
|
|
|
|
$ mms /macro=(VERBOSE=1) test ! OpenVMS
|
|
|
|
$ nmake VERBOSE=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 VERBOSE=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
|
|
|
|
This 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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Environment Variables
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
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.

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'
|
|
|
|
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.
