36 There are several options to ./config to customize the build:
37
b1fe6b43
UM
38 --prefix=DIR Install in DIR/bin, DIR/lib, DIR/include/openssl.
39 Configuration files used by OpenSSL will be in DIR/ssl
40 or the directory specified by --openssldir.
462ba4f6
UM
41
42 --openssldir=DIR Directory for OpenSSL files. If no prefix is specified,
43 the library files and binaries are also installed there.
44

45 rsaref Build with RSADSI's RSAREF toolkit (this assumes that
46 librsaref.a is in the library search path).

48 no-threads Don't try to build with support for multi-threaded
49 applications.
50
51 threads Build with support for multi-threaded applications.
52 This will usually require additional system-dependent options!
53 See "Note on multi-threading" below.
54
b1fe6b43 55 no-asm Do not use assembler code.
462ba4f6
UM
56
57 386 Use the 80386 instruction set only (the default x86 code is
58 more efficient, but requires at least a 486).
2613c1fa 59
b1fe6b43
UM
60 no-<cipher> Build without the specified cipher (bf, cast, des, dh, dsa,
61 hmac, md2, md5, mdc2, rc2, rc4, rc5, rsa, sha).

4109b97c 74 1a. Configure OpenSSL for your operation system automatically:
c9f06e7f 75
b1fe6b43 76 $ ./config [options]
c9f06e7f 77
4109b97c 78 This guesses at your operating system (and compiler, if necessary) and
b1fe6b43 79 configures OpenSSL based on this guess. Run ./config -t to see
462ba4f6 80 if it guessed correctly. If it did not get it correct or you want to
4109b97c 81 use a different compiler then go to step 1b. Otherwise go to step 2.

RE
89 OpenSSL knows about a range of different operating system, hardware and
90 compiler combinations. To see the ones it knows about, run

RE
94 Pick a suitable name from the list that matches your system. For most
95 operating systems there is a choice between using "cc" or "gcc". When
96 you have identified your system (and if necessary compiler) use this name
97 as the argument to ./Configure. For example, a "linux-elf" user would
98 run:
79e259e3 99
b1fe6b43 100 $ ./Configure linux-elf [options]
79e259e3
PS
101
102 If your system is not available, you will have to edit the Configure
73bfb9ad
UM
103 program and add the correct configuration for your system. The
104 generic configurations "cc" or "gcc" should usually work.
79e259e3 105
b1fe6b43
UM
106 Configure creates the file Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org and
107 defines various macros in crypto/opensslconf.h (generated from
80611577 108 crypto/opensslconf.h.in).
79e259e3 109
462ba4f6 110 2. Build OpenSSL by running:
79e259e3 111
4109b97c 112 $ make
79e259e3 113
4109b97c
RE
114 This will build the OpenSSL libraries (libcrypto.a and libssl.a) and the
115 OpenSSL binary ("openssl"). The libraries will be built in the top-level
116 directory, and the binary will be in the "apps" directory.
79e259e3 117

122 [If you encounter assembler error messages, try the "no-asm"
123 configuration option as an immediate fix. Note that on Solaris x86
124 (not on Sparcs!) you may have to install the GNU assembler to use
125 OpenSSL assembler code -- /usr/ccs/bin/as won't do.]

127 Compiling parts of OpenSSL with gcc and others with the system
128 compiler will result in unresolved symbols on some systems.
129
462ba4f6 130 3. After a successful build, the libraries should be tested. Run:
79e259e3 131
4109b97c 132 $ make test
79e259e3 133
b1fe6b43
UM
134 If a test fails, try removing any compiler optimization flags from
135 the CFLAGS line in Makefile.ssl and run "make clean; make". Please
136 send a bug report to <openssl-bugs@openssl.org>, including the
137 output of "openssl version -a" and of the failed test.
138
462ba4f6 139 4. If everything tests ok, install OpenSSL with
79e259e3 140
4109b97c 141 $ make install
79e259e3 142
4109b97c 143 This will create the installation directory (if it does not exist) and
33d50ef6 144 then the following subdirectories:

155 bin Contains the openssl binary and a few other
156 utility programs.

161 Package builders who want to configure the library for standard
162 locations, but have the package installed somewhere else so that
163 it can easily be packaged, can use
164
165 $ make INSTALL_PREFIX=/tmp/package-root install
166
7e05db95 167 (or specify "--install_prefix=/tmp/package-root" as a configure
e5f3045f
BM
168 option). The specified prefix will be prepended to all
169 installation target filenames.
170
171
4fd53220
BM
172 NOTE: The header files used to reside directly in the include
173 directory, but have now been moved to include/openssl so that
174 OpenSSL can co-exist with other libraries which use some of the
175 same filenames. This means that applications that use OpenSSL
176 should now use C preprocessor directives of the form
177
178 #include <openssl/ssl.h>
179
180 instead of "#include <ssl.h>", which was used with library versions
181 up to OpenSSL 0.9.2b.
182
183 If you install a new version of OpenSSL over an old library version,
184 you should delete the old header files in the include directory.
185
186 Compatibility issues:
187
188 * COMPILING existing applications
189
190 To compile an application that uses old filenames -- e.g.
191 "#include <ssl.h>" --, it will usually be enough to find
192 the CFLAGS definition in the application's Makefile and
193 add a C option such as
194
195 -I/usr/local/ssl/include/openssl
196
197 to it.
198
199 But don't delete the existing -I option that points to
200 the ..../include directory! Otherwise, OpenSSL header files
201 could not #include each other.
202
203 * WRITING applications
204
205 To write an application that is able to handle both the new
206 and the old directory layout, so that it can still be compiled
207 with library versions up to OpenSSL 0.9.2b without bothering
208 the user, you can proceed as follows:
209
210 - Always use the new filename of OpenSSL header files,
211 e.g. #include <openssl/ssl.h>.
212
213 - Create a directory "incl" that contains only a symbolic
214 link named "openssl", which points to the "include" directory
215 of OpenSSL.
216 For example, your application's Makefile might contain the
217 following rule, if OPENSSLDIR is a pathname (absolute or
218 relative) of the directory where OpenSSL resides:
219
220 incl/openssl:
221 -mkdir incl
222 cd $(OPENSSLDIR) # Check whether the directory really exists
223 -ln -s `cd $(OPENSSLDIR); pwd`/include incl/openssl
224
225 You will have to add "incl/openssl" to the dependencies
226 of those C files that include some OpenSSL header file.
227
228 - Add "-Iincl" to your CFLAGS.
229
230 With these additions, the OpenSSL header files will be available
231 under both name variants if an old library version is used:
232 Your application can reach them under names like <openssl/foo.h>,
233 while the header files still are able to #include each other
234 with names of the form <foo.h>.
235

237 Note on multi-threading
238 -----------------------
239
240 For some systems, the OpenSSL Configure script knows what compiler options
241 are needed to generate a library that is suitable for multi-threaded
242 applications. On these systems, support for multi-threading is enabled
243 by default; use the "no-threads" option to disable (this should never be
244 necessary).
245
246 On other systems, to enable support for multi-threading, you will have
33d50ef6 247 to specify at least two options: "threads", and a system-dependent option.
5f8d5c96
BM
248 (The latter is "-D_REENTRANT" on various systems.) The default in this
249 case, obviously, is not to include support for multi-threading (but
250 you can still use "no-threads" to suppress an annoying warning message
251 from the Configure script.)

304Please remember that all these files are actually copies of the file with
305a .org extention. So if you change crypto/des/des.h, the next time
306you run Configure, it will be runover by a 'configured' version of
307crypto/des/des.org. So to make the changer the default, change the .org
308files. The reason these files have to be edited is because most of
309these modifications change the size of fundamental data types.
310While in theory this stuff is optional, it often makes a big
311difference in performance and when using assember, it is importaint
312for the 'Bignum bits' match those required by the assember code.
313A warning for people using gcc with sparc cpu's. Gcc needs the -mv8
314flag to use the hardware multiply instruction which was not present in
315earlier versions of the sparc CPU. I define it by default. If you
316have an old sparc, and it crashes, try rebuilding with this flag
317removed. I am leaving this flag on by default because it makes
318things run 4 times faster :-)
319

321make clean

323# Do a make depend only if you have the makedepend command installed
324# This is not needed but it does make things nice when developing.

333# test everything

335
336# install the lot
337make install
338
339# It is worth noting that all the applications are built into the one
340# program, ssleay, which is then has links from the other programs
341# names to it.
342# The applicatons can be built by themselves, just don't define the
343# 'MONOLITH' flag. So to build the 'enc' program stand alone,
344gcc -O2 -Iinclude apps/enc.c apps/apps.c libcrypto.a
345
346# Other useful make options are
347make makefile.one
348# which generate a 'makefile.one' file which will build the complete
349# SSLeay distribution with temp. files in './tmp' and 'installable' files
350# in './out'
351
352# Have a look at running
353perl util/mk1mf.pl help
354# this can be used to generate a single makefile and is about the only
355# way to generate makefiles for windows.
356
357# There is actually a final way of building SSLeay.
358gcc -O2 -c -Icrypto -Iinclude crypto/crypto.c
359gcc -O2 -c -Issl -Iinclude ssl/ssl.c
360# and you now have the 2 libraries as single object files :-).
361# If you want to use the assember code for your particular platform
362# (DEC alpha/x86 are the main ones, the other assember is just the
363# output from gcc) you will need to link the assember with the above generated
364# object file and also do the above compile as
365gcc -O2 -DBN_ASM -c -Icrypto -Iinclude crypto/crypto.c
366
367This last option is probably the best way to go when porting to another
368platform or building shared libraries. It is not good for development so
369I don't normally use it.
370
371To build shared libararies under unix, have a look in shlib, basically
372you are on your own, but it is quite easy and all you have to do
373is compile 2 (or 3) files.
374
375For mult-threading, have a read of doc/threads.doc. Again it is quite
376easy and normally only requires some extra callbacks to be defined
377by the application.
