26 Notational conventions in this document
27 ---------------------------------------
28
29 Throughout this document, we use the following conventions in command
30 examples:
31
32 $ command Any line starting with a dollar sign
33 ($) is a command line.
34
35 { word1 | word2 | word3 } This denotes a mandatory choice, to be
36 replaced with one of the given words.
37 A simple example would be this:
38
39 $ echo { FOO | BAR | COOKIE }
40
41 which is to be understood as one of
42 these:
43
44 $ echo FOO
45 - or -
46 $ echo BAR
47 - or -
48 $ echo COOKIE
49
50 [ word1 | word2 | word3 ] Similar to { word1 | word2 | word3 }
51 except it's optional to give any of
52 those. In addition to the examples
53 above, this would also be valid:
54
55 $ echo
56
57 {{ target }} This denotes a mandatory word or
58 sequence of words of some sort. A
59 simple example would be this:
60
61 $ type {{ filename }}
62
63 which is to be understood to use the
64 command 'type' on some file name
65 determined by the user.
66
67 [[ options ]] Similar to {{ target }}, but is
68 optional.
69
70 Note that the notation assumes spaces around {, }, [, ], {{, }} and
71 [[, ]]. This is to differentiate from OpenVMS directory
72 specifications, which also use [ and ], but without spaces.

74 Quick Start
75 -----------
79e259e3 76
4109b97c 77 If you want to just get on with it, do:
79e259e3 78
2acd8ec7
RL
79 on Unix:
80
81 $ ./config
82 $ make
83 $ make test
84 $ make install
85
86 on OpenVMS:
87
88 $ @config
89 $ mms
90 $ mms test
91 $ mms install
79e259e3 92
b32b8961
RL
93 on Windows (only pick one of the targets for configuration):
94
95 $ perl Configure { VC-WIN32 | VC-WIN64A | VC-WIN64I | VC-CE }
96 $ nmake
97 $ nmake test
8c16829e 98 $ nmake install
b32b8961 99
ea24fe29 100 If any of these steps fails, see section Installation in Detail below.
b1fe6b43 101
2acd8ec7
RL
102 This will build and install OpenSSL in the default location, which is:
103
104 Unix: normal installation directories under /usr/local
105 OpenVMS: SYS$COMMON:[OPENSSL-'version'...], where 'version' is the
667c6bfe
RL
106 OpenSSL version number with underscores instead of periods.
107 Windows: C:\Program Files\OpenSSL or C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenSSL
2acd8ec7
RL
108
109 If you want to install it anywhere else, run config like this:
79e259e3 110
2acd8ec7
RL
111 On Unix:
112
113 $ ./config --prefix=/opt/openssl --openssldir=/usr/local/ssl
114
115 On OpenVMS:
116
117 $ @config --prefix=PROGRAM:[INSTALLS] --openssldir=SYS$MANAGER:[OPENSSL]
79e259e3 118
62f218cb
RL
119 (Note: if you do add options to the configuration command, please make sure
120 you've read more than just this Quick Start, such as relevant NOTES.* files,
121 the options outline below, as configuration options may change the outcome
122 in otherwise unexpected ways)
123

UM
124
125 Configuration Options
126 ---------------------
127
2d99cee7 128 There are several options to ./config (or ./Configure) to customize
8c16829e
RL
129 the build (note that for Windows, the defaults for --prefix and
130 --openssldir depend in what configuration is used and what Windows
131 implementation OpenSSL is built on. More notes on this in NOTES.WIN):
2613c1fa 132
fa28bfd6
MC
133 --api=x.y.z
134 Don't build with support for deprecated APIs below the
135 specified version number. For example "--api=1.1.0" will
136 remove support for all APIS that were deprecated in OpenSSL
137 version 1.1.0 or below.
462ba4f6 138
fa28bfd6
MC
139 --cross-compile-prefix=PREFIX
140 The PREFIX to include in front of commands for your
85afea67
AP
141 toolchain. It's likely to have to end with dash, e.g.
142 a-b-c- would invoke GNU compiler as a-b-c-gcc, etc.
143 Unfortunately cross-compiling is too case-specific to
144 put together one-size-fits-all instructions. You might
145 have to pass more flags or set up environment variables
146 to actually make it work. Android and iOS cases are
147 discussed in corresponding Configurations/10-main.cf
148 sections. But there are cases when this option alone is
149 sufficient. For example to build the mingw64 target on
150 Linux "--cross-compile-prefix=x86_64-w64-mingw32-"
151 works. Naturally provided that mingw packages are
152 installed. Today Debian and Ubuntu users have option to
153 install a number of prepackaged cross-compilers along
154 with corresponding run-time and development packages for
155 "alien" hardware. To give another example
156 "--cross-compile-prefix=mipsel-linux-gnu-" suffices
157 in such case. Needless to mention that you have to
158 invoke ./Configure, not ./config, and pass your target
159 name explicitly.
fa28bfd6
MC
160
161 --debug
162 Build OpenSSL with debugging symbols.
163
164 --libdir=DIR
165 The name of the directory under the top of the installation
166 directory tree (see the --prefix option) where libraries will
167 be installed. By default this is "lib". Note that on Windows
168 only ".lib" files will be stored in this location. dll files
169 will always be installed to the "bin" directory.
2acd8ec7 170
ecabf05e
MC
171 --openssldir=DIR
172 Directory for OpenSSL configuration files, and also the
d5957691
MC
173 default certificate and key store. Defaults are:
174
667c6bfe 175 Unix: /usr/local/ssl
8c16829e
RL
176 Windows: C:\Program Files\Common Files\SSL
177 or C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\SSL
667c6bfe 178 OpenVMS: SYS$COMMON:[OPENSSL-COMMON]
d5957691 179
fa28bfd6
MC
180 --prefix=DIR
181 The top of the installation directory tree. Defaults are:
182
183 Unix: /usr/local
184 Windows: C:\Program Files\OpenSSL
185 or C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenSSL
186 OpenVMS: SYS$COMMON:[OPENSSL-'version']
187
188 --release
189 Build OpenSSL without debugging symbols. This is the default.
190
191 --strict-warnings
192 This is a developer flag that switches on various compiler
193 options recommended for OpenSSL development. It only works
194 when using gcc or clang as the compiler. If you are
195 developing a patch for OpenSSL then it is recommended that
196 you use this option where possible.
197
198 --with-zlib-include=DIR
199 The directory for the location of the zlib include file. This
200 option is only necessary if enable-zlib (see below) is used
201 and the include file is not already on the system include
202 path.
203
204 --with-zlib-lib=LIB
205 On Unix: this is the directory containing the zlib library.
206 If not provided the system library path will be used.
207 On Windows: this is the filename of the zlib library (with or
208 without a path). This flag must be provided if the
209 zlib-dynamic option is not also used. If zlib-dynamic is used
210 then this flag is optional and a default value ("ZLIB1") is
a73d990e 211 used if not provided.
fa28bfd6
MC
212 On VMS: this is the filename of the zlib library (with or
213 without a path). This flag is optional and if not provided
214 then "GNV$LIBZSHR", "GNV$LIBZSHR32" or "GNV$LIBZSHR64" is
215 used by default depending on the pointer size chosen.
d5957691 216
a73d990e
DMSP
217
218 --with-rand-seed=seed1[,seed2,...]
219 A comma separated list of seeding methods which will be tried
220 by OpenSSL in order to obtain random input (a.k.a "entropy")
221 for seeding its cryptographically secure random number
222 generator (CSPRNG). The current seeding methods are:
223
224 os: Use a trusted operating system entropy source.
225 This is the default method if such an entropy
226 source exists.
227 getrandom: Use the L<getrandom(2)> system call if available.
228 devrandom: Use the the first device from the DEVRANDOM list
229 which can be opened to read random bytes. The
230 DEVRANDOM preprocessor constant expands to
231 "/dev/urandom","/dev/random","/dev/srandom" on
232 most unix-ish operating systems.
233 egd: Check for an entropy generating daemon.
234 rdcpu: Use the RDSEED or RDRAND command if provided by
235 the CPU.
236 librandom: Use librandom (not implemented yet).
237 none: Disable automatic seeding. This is the default
238 on some operating systems where no suitable
239 entropy source exists, or no support for it is
240 implemented yet.
241
242 For more information, see the section 'Note on random number
243 generation' at the end of this document.

ecabf05e
MC
245 no-afalgeng
246 Don't build the AFALG engine. This option will be forced if
247 on a platform that does not support AFALG.
248
fa28bfd6 249 enable-asan
f430ba31 250 Build with the Address sanitiser. This is a developer option
fa28bfd6
MC
251 only. It may not work on all platforms and should never be
252 used in production environments. It will only work when used
253 with gcc or clang and should be used in conjunction with the
254 no-shared option.
255
ecabf05e 256 no-asm

257 Do not use assembler code. On some platforms a small amount
258 of assembler code may still be used.

261 Do not build support for async operations.
d5957691 262
ecabf05e
MC
263 no-autoalginit
264 Don't automatically load all supported ciphers and digests.
d5957691
MC
265 Typically OpenSSL will make available all of its supported
266 ciphers and digests. For a statically linked application this
267 may be undesirable if small executable size is an objective.
268 This only affects libcrypto. Ciphers and digests will have to
269 be loaded manually using EVP_add_cipher() and
ecabf05e
MC
270 EVP_add_digest() if this option is used. This option will
271 force a non-shared build.
d5957691 272
ecabf05e
MC
273 no-autoerrinit
274 Don't automatically load all libcrypto/libssl error strings.
d5957691
MC
275 Typically OpenSSL will automatically load human readable
276 error strings. For a statically linked application this may
277 be undesirable if small executable size is an objective.
278
d5957691 279
ecabf05e
MC
280 no-capieng
281 Don't build the CAPI engine. This option will be forced if
282 on a platform that does not support CAPI.
d5957691 283
ecabf05e
MC
284 no-cms
285 Don't build support for CMS features
d5957691 286
ecabf05e
MC
287 no-comp
288 Don't build support for SSL/TLS compression. If this option
289 is left enabled (the default), then compression will only
290 work if the zlib or zlib-dynamic options are also chosen.
d5957691 291
ecabf05e
MC
292 enable-crypto-mdebug
293 Build support for debugging memory allocated via
294 OPENSSL_malloc() or OPENSSL_zalloc().
295
296 enable-crypto-mdebug-backtrace
297 As for crypto-mdebug, but additionally provide backtrace
298 information for allocated memory.
8d054a55
RL
299 TO BE USED WITH CARE: this uses GNU C functionality, and
300 is therefore not usable for non-GNU config targets. If
301 your build complains about the use of '-rdynamic' or the
302 lack of header file execinfo.h, this option is not for you.
303 ALSO NOTE that even though execinfo.h is available on your
304 system (through Gnulib), the functions might just be stubs
305 that do nothing.
ecabf05e
MC
306
307 no-ct
308 Don't build support for Certificate Transparency.
309
310 no-deprecated
311 Don't build with support for any deprecated APIs. This is the
312 same as using "--api" and supplying the latest version
313 number.
314
315 no-dgram
316 Don't build support for datagram based BIOs. Selecting this
317 option will also force the disabling of DTLS.

319 no-dso
320 Don't build support for loading Dynamic Shared Objects.
321
322 no-dynamic-engine
323 Don't build the dynamically loaded engines. This only has an
324 effect in a "shared" build
325
326 no-ec

331
332 enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128
333 Enable support for optimised implementations of some commonly
334 used NIST elliptic curves. This is only supported on some
335 platforms.

338 Build support for gathering entropy from EGD (Entropy
339 Gathering Daemon).

358 enable-fuzz-libfuzzer, enable-fuzz-afl
359 Build with support for fuzzing using either libfuzzer or AFL.

361 platforms and should never be used in production environments.
362 See the file fuzz/README.md for further details.
fa28bfd6 363
ecabf05e

364 no-gost
365 Don't build support for GOST based ciphersuites. Note that
366 if this feature is enabled then GOST ciphersuites are only
367 available if the GOST algorithms are also available through
368 loading an externally supplied engine.

d5957691 418
ecabf05e 419 no-sse2
5ae5dc96
AP
420 Exclude SSE2 code paths from 32-bit x86 assembly modules.
421 Normally SSE2 extension is detected at run-time, but the
422 decision whether or not the machine code will be executed
423 is taken solely on CPU capability vector. This means that
424 if you happen to run OS kernel which does not support SSE2
425 extension on Intel P4 processor, then your application
426 might be exposed to "illegal instruction" exception.
427 There might be a way to enable support in kernel, e.g.
428 FreeBSD kernel can be compiled with CPU_ENABLE_SSE, and
429 there is a way to disengage SSE2 code paths upon application
430 start-up, but if you aim for wider "audience" running
431 such kernel, consider no-sse2. Both the 386 and
432 no-asm options imply no-sse2.
d5957691 433
ecabf05e
MC
434 enable-ssl-trace
435 Build with the SSL Trace capabilities (adds the "-trace"
436 option to s_client and s_server).

440 has an impact when not built "shared".
441
442 no-stdio
219b4643
MC
443 Don't use anything from the C header file "stdio.h" that
444 makes use of the "FILE" type. Only libcrypto and libssl can
445 be built in this way. Using this option will suppress
ecabf05e
MC
446 building the command line applications. Additionally since
447 the OpenSSL tests also use the command line applications the
448 tests will also be skipped.

ecabf05e
MC
453 no-threads
454 Don't try to build with support for multi-threaded
455 applications.
456
457 threads
458 Build with support for multi-threaded applications. Most
459 platforms will enable this by default. However if on a
460 platform where this is not the case then this will usually
461 require additional system-dependent options! See "Note on
462 multi-threading" below.

MC
464 enable-tls13downgrade
465 TODO(TLS1.3): Make this enabled by default and remove the
466 option when TLSv1.3 is out of draft
467 TLSv1.3 offers a downgrade protection mechanism. This is
468 implemented but disabled by default. It should not typically
469 be enabled except for testing purposes. Otherwise this could
470 cause problems if a pre-RFC version of OpenSSL talks to an
471 RFC implementation (it will erroneously be detected as a
472 downgrade).

fa28bfd6 477 enable-ubsan
f430ba31 478 Build with the Undefined Behaviour sanitiser. This is a
fa28bfd6
MC
479 developer option only. It may not work on all platforms and
480 should never be used in production environments. It will only
481 work when used with gcc or clang and should be used in
482 conjunction with the "-DPEDANTIC" option (or the
483 --strict-warnings option).
484
ecabf05e

485 no-ui
486 Don't build with the "UI" capability (i.e. the set of
487 features enabling text based prompts).

489 enable-unit-test
490 Enable additional unit test APIs. This should not typically
491 be used in production deployments.

494 Build support for SSL/TLS ciphers that are considered "weak"
495 (e.g. RC4 based ciphersuites).

500 zlib-dynamic
501 Like "zlib", but has OpenSSL load the zlib library
502 dynamically when needed. This is only supported on systems
503 where loading of shared libraries is supported.

AP
506 In 32-bit x86 builds, when generating assembly modules,
507 use the 80386 instruction set only (the default x86 code
508 is more efficient, but requires at least a 486). Note:
509 This doesn't affect code generated by compiler, you're
510 likely to complement configuration command line with
511 suitable compiler-specific option.

f518cef4
MC
515 protocol (one of ssl, ssl3, tls, tls1, tls1_1, tls1_2,
516 tls1_3, dtls, dtls1 or dtls1_2). If "no-tls" is selected then
517 all of tls1, tls1_1, tls1_2 and tls1_3 are disabled.
518 Similarly "no-dtls" will disable dtls1 and dtls1_2. The
519 "no-ssl" option is synonymous with "no-ssl3". Note this only
520 affects version negotiation. OpenSSL will still provide the
521 methods for applications to explicitly select the individual
522 protocol versions.

586 CXXFLAGS Flags for the C++ compiler.
587 CPP The C/C++ preprocessor.
588 CPPFLAGS Flags for the C/C++ preprocessor.
589 CPPDEFINES List of CPP macro definitions, separated
590 by a platform specific character (':' or
591 space for Unix, ';' for Windows, ',' for
ec4c3891

592 VMS). This can be used instead of using
593 -D (or what corresponds to that on your
594 compiler) in CPPFLAGS.
5b18235a
RL
595 CPPINCLUDES List of CPP inclusion directories, separated
596 the same way as for CPPDEFINES. This can
ec4c3891

597 be used instead of -I (or what corresponds
598 to that on your compiler) in CPPFLAGS.

600 in public perl scripts (only relevant on
601 Unix).

602 LD The program linker (not used on Unix, $(CC)
603 is used there).
604 LDFLAGS Flags for the shared library, DSO and
605 program linker.
606 LDLIBS Extra libraries to use when linking.

608 of library specifications on Unix and
609 Windows, and as a comma separated list of

640 reconf
641 reconfigure
642 Reconfigure from earlier data. This fetches the previous
643 command line options and environment from data saved in
644 "configdata.pm", and runs the configuration process again,
645 using these options and environment.
646 Note: NO other option is permitted together with "reconf".
647 This means that you also MUST use "./Configure" (or
648 what corresponds to that on non-Unix platforms) directly
649 to invoke this option.
650 Note: The original configuration saves away values for ALL
651 environment variables that were used, and if they weren't
652 defined, they are still saved away with information that
653 they weren't originally defined. This information takes
654 precedence over environment variables that are defined
655 when reconfiguring.

657 Displaying configuration data
658 -----------------------------

730 Configure creates a build file ("Makefile" on Unix, "makefile" on Windows
731 and "descrip.mms" on OpenVMS) from a suitable template in Configurations,
732 and defines various macros in include/openssl/opensslconf.h (generated from
733 include/openssl/opensslconf.h.in).

RL
735 1c. Configure OpenSSL for building outside of the source tree.
736
737 OpenSSL can be configured to build in a build directory separate from
738 the directory with the source code. It's done by placing yourself in
739 some other directory and invoking the configuration commands from
740 there.
741
742 Unix example:
743
744 $ mkdir /var/tmp/openssl-build
745 $ cd /var/tmp/openssl-build
ea24fe29 746 $ /PATH/TO/OPENSSL/SOURCE/config [[ options ]]

756 $ set default [.tmp.openssl-build]
ea24fe29 757 $ @[PATH.TO.OPENSSL.SOURCE]config [[ options ]]

763 Windows example:

765 $ C:
766 $ mkdir \temp-openssl
767 $ cd \temp-openssl
ea24fe29 768 $ perl d:\PATH\TO\OPENSSL\SOURCE\Configure {{ target }} [[ options ]]
b32b8961 769
2acd8ec7
RL
770 Paths can be relative just as well as absolute. Configure will
771 do its best to translate them to relative paths whenever possible.
772
462ba4f6 773 2. Build OpenSSL by running:
79e259e3 774
2acd8ec7
RL
775 $ make # Unix
776 $ mms ! (or mmk) OpenVMS
b32b8961 777 $ nmake # Windows
79e259e3 778
2acd8ec7
RL
779 This will build the OpenSSL libraries (libcrypto.a and libssl.a on
780 Unix, corresponding on other platforms) and the OpenSSL binary
781 ("openssl"). The libraries will be built in the top-level directory,
782 and the binary will be in the "apps" subdirectory.
79e259e3 783
1af66bb7 784 Troubleshooting:
785
1e62cc12
RS
786 If the build fails, look at the output. There may be reasons
787 for the failure that aren't problems in OpenSSL itself (like
1af66bb7 788 missing standard headers).
789
790 If the build succeeded previously, but fails after a source or
791 configuration change, it might be helpful to clean the build tree
792 before attempting another build. Use this command:
793
794 $ make clean # Unix
795 $ mms clean ! (or mmk) OpenVMS
796 $ nmake clean # Windows
797
798 Assembler error messages can sometimes be sidestepped by using the
799 "no-asm" configuration option.
800
801 Compiling parts of OpenSSL with gcc and others with the system
802 compiler will result in unresolved symbols on some systems.
803
804 If you are still having problems you can get help by sending an email
805 to the openssl-users email list (see
1e62cc12
RS
806 https://www.openssl.org/community/mailinglists.html for details). If
807 it is a bug with OpenSSL itself, please open an issue on GitHub, at
808 https://github.com/openssl/openssl/issues. Please review the existing
809 ones first; maybe the bug was already reported or has already been
d5957691 810 fixed.

815 $ mms test ! OpenVMS
b32b8961 816 $ nmake test # Windows

821 If some tests fail, look at the output. There may be reasons for
822 the failure that isn't a problem in OpenSSL itself (like a
823 malfunction with Perl). You may want increased verbosity, that
824 can be accomplished like this:
825
be6bdab6 826 $ make VERBOSE=1 test # Unix
2acd8ec7 827
e8173157 828 $ mms /macro=(VERBOSE=1) test ! OpenVMS

be6bdab6 830 $ nmake VERBOSE=1 test # Windows
b32b8961 831
2e996acf
RL
832 If you want to run just one or a few specific tests, you can use
833 the make variable TESTS to specify them, like this:
834
2acd8ec7
RL
835 $ make TESTS='test_rsa test_dsa' test # Unix
836 $ mms/macro="TESTS=test_rsa test_dsa" test ! OpenVMS
b32b8961 837 $ nmake TESTS='test_rsa test_dsa' test # Windows
2e996acf 838
2acd8ec7 839 And of course, you can combine (Unix example shown):
a73d990e 840
be6bdab6 841 $ make VERBOSE=1 TESTS='test_rsa test_dsa' test
2e996acf
RL
842
843 You can find the list of available tests like this:

944 This means that some software needs to be rewritten to adapt to
945 the new ways of doing things. This often amounts to allocating
946 an instance of a structure explicitly where you could previously
947 allocate them on the stack as automatic variables, and using the
948 provided accessor functions where you would previously access a
949 structure's field directly.

954 Environment Variables
955 ---------------------
956
957 A number of environment variables can be used to provide additional control
958 over the build process. Typically these should be defined prior to running
959 config or Configure. Not all environment variables are relevant to all
960 platforms.
961
962 AR
963 The name of the ar executable to use.
964
ed43fe73
RL
965 BUILDFILE
966 Use a different build file name than the platform default
967 ("Makefile" on Unixly platforms, "makefile" on native Windows,
968 "descrip.mms" on OpenVMS). This requires that there is a
969 corresponding build file template. See Configurations/README
970 for further information.
971
fa28bfd6
MC
972 CC
973 The compiler to use. Configure will attempt to pick a default
974 compiler for your platform but this choice can be overridden
975 using this variable. Set it to the compiler executable you wish
976 to use, e.g. "gcc" or "clang".
977
978 CROSS_COMPILE
979 This environment variable has the same meaning as for the
980 "--cross-compile-prefix" Configure flag described above. If both
981 are set then the Configure flag takes precedence.
982
983 NM
984 The name of the nm executable to use.
985
986 OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR
987 OpenSSL comes with a database of information about how it
bf98d9da
RL
988 should be built on different platforms as well as build file
989 templates for those platforms. The database is comprised of
990 ".conf" files in the Configurations directory. The build
991 file templates reside there as well as ".tmpl" files. See the
fa28bfd6 992 file Configurations/README for further information about the
bf98d9da
RL
993 format of ".conf" files as well as information on the ".tmpl"
994 files.
995 In addition to the standard ".conf" and ".tmpl" files, it is
996 possible to create your own ".conf" and ".tmpl" files and store
997 them locally, outside the OpenSSL source tree. This environment
998 variable can be set to the directory where these files are held
b509b6d7
BK
999 and will be considered by Configure before it looks in the
1000 standard directories.

1001
1002 PERL
d513369b 1003 The name of the Perl executable to use when building OpenSSL.

1009 The command string for the Perl executable to insert in the
1010 #! line of perl scripts that will be publically installed.
1011 Default: /usr/bin/env perl
1012 Note: the value of this variable is added to the same scripts
1013 on all platforms, but it's only relevant on Unix-like platforms.

1015 RC
1016 The name of the rc executable to use. The default will be as
1017 defined for the target platform in the ".conf" file. If not
1018 defined then "windres" will be used. The WINDRES environment
1019 variable is synonymous to this. If both are defined then RC
1020 takes precedence.

1028 Makefile targets
1029 ----------------
1030
1031 The Configure script generates a Makefile in a format relevant to the specific
1032 platform. The Makefiles provide a number of targets that can be used. Not all
1033 targets may be available on all platforms. Only the most common targets are
1034 described here. Examine the Makefiles themselves for the full list.
1035

1039 clean
1040 Remove all build artefacts and return the directory to a "clean"
1041 state.
1042
1043 depend
1044 Rebuild the dependencies in the Makefiles. This is a legacy
1045 option that no longer needs to be used in OpenSSL 1.1.0.

1082 TESTS in Detail
1083 ---------------
1084
1085 The make variable TESTS supports a versatile set of space separated tokens
1086 with which you can specify a set of tests to be performed. With a "current
1087 set of tests" in mind, initially being empty, here are the possible tokens:
1088
1089 alltests The current set of tests becomes the whole set of available
1090 tests (as listed when you do 'make list-tests' or similar).
1091 xxx Adds the test 'xxx' to the current set of tests.
1092 -xxx Removes 'xxx' from the current set of tests. If this is the
1093 first token in the list, the current set of tests is first
1094 assigned the whole set of available tests, effectively making
d0631327
RL
1095 this token equivalent to TESTS="alltests -xxx".
1096 nn Adds the test group 'nn' (which is a number) to the current
1097 set of tests.
1098 -nn Removes the test group 'nn' from the current set of tests.
1099 If this is the first token in the list, the current set of
1100 tests is first assigned the whole set of available tests,
1101 effectively making this token equivalent to
1102 TESTS="alltests -xxx".
b3e718e2
RL
1103
1104 Also, all tokens except for "alltests" may have wildcards, such as *.
1105 (on Unix and Windows, BSD style wildcards are supported, while on VMS,
1106 it's VMS style wildcards)
1107
1108 Example: All tests except for the fuzz tests:
1109
1110 $ make TESTS=-test_fuzz test
1111
1112 or (if you want to be explicit)
1113
1114 $ make TESTS='alltests -test_fuzz' test
1115
1116 Example: All tests that have a name starting with "test_ssl" but not those
1117 starting with "test_ssl_":
1118
1119 $ make TESTS='test_ssl* -test_ssl_*' test
1120
d0631327
RL
1121 Example: Only test group 10:
1122
1123 $ make TESTS='10'
1124
1125 Example: All tests except the slow group (group 99):
1126
1127 $ make TESTS='-99'
1128
1129 Example: All tests in test groups 80 to 99 except for tests in group 90:
1130
1131 $ make TESTS='[89]? -90'

1133 Note on multi-threading
1134 -----------------------
1135
1136 For some systems, the OpenSSL Configure script knows what compiler options
1137 are needed to generate a library that is suitable for multi-threaded
1138 applications. On these systems, support for multi-threading is enabled
1139 by default; use the "no-threads" option to disable (this should never be
1140 necessary).
1141
1142 On other systems, to enable support for multi-threading, you will have
33d50ef6 1143 to specify at least two options: "threads", and a system-dependent option.
5f8d5c96
BM
1144 (The latter is "-D_REENTRANT" on various systems.) The default in this
1145 case, obviously, is not to include support for multi-threading (but
1146 you can still use "no-threads" to suppress an annoying warning message
1147 from the Configure script.)
1148
35d8fa56 1149 OpenSSL provides built-in support for two threading models: pthreads (found on
8b75603c
MC
1150 most UNIX/Linux systems), and Windows threads. No other threading models are
1151 supported. If your platform does not provide pthreads or Windows threads then
1152 you should Configure with the "no-threads" option.

1154 Notes on shared libraries
1155 -------------------------
fcc6a1c4 1156
ce942199
MC
1157 For most systems the OpenSSL Configure script knows what is needed to
1158 build shared libraries for libcrypto and libssl. On these systems
1159 the shared libraries will be created by default. This can be suppressed and
1160 only static libraries created by using the "no-shared" option. On systems
1161 where OpenSSL does not know how to build shared libraries the "no-shared"
1162 option will be forced and only static libraries will be created.
96c930dd 1163
4fa3f08f
RL
1164 Shared libraries are named a little differently on different platforms.
1165 One way or another, they all have the major OpenSSL version number as
1166 part of the file name, i.e. for OpenSSL 1.1.x, 1.1 is somehow part of
1167 the name.
1168
1169 On most POSIXly platforms, shared libraries are named libcrypto.so.1.1
1170 and libssl.so.1.1.
1171
1172 on Cygwin, shared libraries are named cygcrypto-1.1.dll and cygssl-1.1.dll
1173 with import libraries libcrypto.dll.a and libssl.dll.a.
1174
1175 On Windows build with MSVC or using MingW, shared libraries are named
1176 libcrypto-1_1.dll and libssl-1_1.dll for 32-bit Windows, libcrypto-1_1-x64.dll
1177 and libssl-1_1-x64.dll for 64-bit x86_64 Windows, and libcrypto-1_1-ia64.dll
1178 and libssl-1_1-ia64.dll for IA64 Windows. With MSVC, the import libraries
1179 are named libcrypto.lib and libssl.lib, while with MingW, they are named
b77b6127 1180 libcrypto.dll.a and libssl.dll.a.
4fa3f08f
RL
1181
1182 On VMS, shareable images (VMS speak for shared libraries) are named
1183 ossl$libcrypto0101_shr.exe and ossl$libssl0101_shr.exe. However, when
1184 OpenSSL is specifically built for 32-bit pointers, the shareable images
1185 are named ossl$libcrypto0101_shr32.exe and ossl$libssl0101_shr32.exe
1186 instead, and when built for 64-bit pointers, they are named
1187 ossl$libcrypto0101_shr64.exe and ossl$libssl0101_shr64.exe.

1189 Note on random number generation
1190 --------------------------------
1191
1192 Availability of cryptographically secure random numbers is required for
1193 secret key generation. OpenSSL provides several options to seed the
a73d990e 1194 internal CSPRNG. If not properly seeded, the internal CSPRNG will refuse
96c930dd 1195 to deliver random bytes and a "PRNG not seeded error" will occur.
4a9476dd 1196
a73d990e
DMSP
1197 The seeding method can be configured using the --with-rand-seed option,
1198 which can be used to specify a comma separated list of seed methods.
1199 However in most cases OpenSSL will choose a suitable default method,
1200 so it is not necessary to explicitely provide this option. Note also
1201 that not all methods are available on all platforms.
1202
1203 I) On operating systems which provide a suitable randomness source (in
1204 form of a system call or system device), OpenSSL will use the optimal
1205 available method to seed the CSPRNG from the operating system's
1206 randomness sources. This corresponds to the option --with-rand-seed=os.
1207
1208 II) On systems without such a suitable randomness source, automatic seeding
1209 and reseeding is disabled (--with-rand-seed=none) and it may be necessary
1210 to install additional support software to obtain a random seed and reseed
1211 the CSPRNG manually. Please check out the manual pages for RAND_add(),
1212 RAND_bytes(), RAND_egd(), and the FAQ for more information.
