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

101 This will build and install OpenSSL in the default location, which is:
102
103 Unix: normal installation directories under /usr/local
104 OpenVMS: SYS$COMMON:[OPENSSL-'version'...], where 'version' is the
667c6bfe
RL
105 OpenSSL version number with underscores instead of periods.
106 Windows: C:\Program Files\OpenSSL or C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenSSL
2acd8ec7
RL
107
108 If you want to install it anywhere else, run config like this:

RL
110 On Unix:
111
112 $ ./config --prefix=/opt/openssl --openssldir=/usr/local/ssl
113

118
119 Configuration Options
120 ---------------------
121
2d99cee7 122 There are several options to ./config (or ./Configure) to customize
8c16829e
RL
123 the build (note that for Windows, the defaults for --prefix and
124 --openssldir depend in what configuration is used and what Windows
125 implementation OpenSSL is built on. More notes on this in NOTES.WIN):
2613c1fa 126
fa28bfd6
MC
127 --api=x.y.z
128 Don't build with support for deprecated APIs below the
129 specified version number. For example "--api=1.1.0" will
130 remove support for all APIS that were deprecated in OpenSSL
131 version 1.1.0 or below.
462ba4f6 132
fa28bfd6
MC
133 --cross-compile-prefix=PREFIX
134 The PREFIX to include in front of commands for your
85afea67
AP
135 toolchain. It's likely to have to end with dash, e.g.
136 a-b-c- would invoke GNU compiler as a-b-c-gcc, etc.
137 Unfortunately cross-compiling is too case-specific to
138 put together one-size-fits-all instructions. You might
139 have to pass more flags or set up environment variables
140 to actually make it work. Android and iOS cases are
141 discussed in corresponding Configurations/10-main.cf
142 sections. But there are cases when this option alone is
143 sufficient. For example to build the mingw64 target on
144 Linux "--cross-compile-prefix=x86_64-w64-mingw32-"
145 works. Naturally provided that mingw packages are
146 installed. Today Debian and Ubuntu users have option to
147 install a number of prepackaged cross-compilers along
148 with corresponding run-time and development packages for
149 "alien" hardware. To give another example
150 "--cross-compile-prefix=mipsel-linux-gnu-" suffices
151 in such case. Needless to mention that you have to
152 invoke ./Configure, not ./config, and pass your target
153 name explicitly.
fa28bfd6
MC
154
155 --debug
156 Build OpenSSL with debugging symbols.
157
158 --libdir=DIR
159 The name of the directory under the top of the installation
160 directory tree (see the --prefix option) where libraries will
161 be installed. By default this is "lib". Note that on Windows
162 only ".lib" files will be stored in this location. dll files
163 will always be installed to the "bin" directory.
2acd8ec7 164
ecabf05e
MC
165 --openssldir=DIR
166 Directory for OpenSSL configuration files, and also the
d5957691
MC
167 default certificate and key store. Defaults are:
168
667c6bfe 169 Unix: /usr/local/ssl
8c16829e
RL
170 Windows: C:\Program Files\Common Files\SSL
171 or C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\SSL
667c6bfe 172 OpenVMS: SYS$COMMON:[OPENSSL-COMMON]
d5957691 173
fa28bfd6
MC
174 --prefix=DIR
175 The top of the installation directory tree. Defaults are:
176
177 Unix: /usr/local
178 Windows: C:\Program Files\OpenSSL
179 or C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenSSL
180 OpenVMS: SYS$COMMON:[OPENSSL-'version']
181
182 --release
183 Build OpenSSL without debugging symbols. This is the default.
184
185 --strict-warnings
186 This is a developer flag that switches on various compiler
187 options recommended for OpenSSL development. It only works
188 when using gcc or clang as the compiler. If you are
189 developing a patch for OpenSSL then it is recommended that
190 you use this option where possible.
191
192 --with-zlib-include=DIR
193 The directory for the location of the zlib include file. This
194 option is only necessary if enable-zlib (see below) is used
195 and the include file is not already on the system include
196 path.
197
198 --with-zlib-lib=LIB
199 On Unix: this is the directory containing the zlib library.
200 If not provided the system library path will be used.
201 On Windows: this is the filename of the zlib library (with or
202 without a path). This flag must be provided if the
203 zlib-dynamic option is not also used. If zlib-dynamic is used
204 then this flag is optional and a default value ("ZLIB1") is
205 used if not provided.
206 On VMS: this is the filename of the zlib library (with or
207 without a path). This flag is optional and if not provided
208 then "GNV$LIBZSHR", "GNV$LIBZSHR32" or "GNV$LIBZSHR64" is
209 used by default depending on the pointer size chosen.
d5957691 210
ecabf05e
MC
211 no-afalgeng
212 Don't build the AFALG engine. This option will be forced if
213 on a platform that does not support AFALG.
214
fa28bfd6 215 enable-asan
f430ba31 216 Build with the Address sanitiser. This is a developer option
fa28bfd6
MC
217 only. It may not work on all platforms and should never be
218 used in production environments. It will only work when used
219 with gcc or clang and should be used in conjunction with the
220 no-shared option.
221
ecabf05e 222 no-asm
05328815
MC
223 Do not use assembler code. On some platforms a small amount
224 of assembler code may still be used.

225
226 no-async
227 Do not build support for async operations.
d5957691 228
ecabf05e
MC
229 no-autoalginit
230 Don't automatically load all supported ciphers and digests.
d5957691
MC
231 Typically OpenSSL will make available all of its supported
232 ciphers and digests. For a statically linked application this
233 may be undesirable if small executable size is an objective.
234 This only affects libcrypto. Ciphers and digests will have to
235 be loaded manually using EVP_add_cipher() and
ecabf05e
MC
236 EVP_add_digest() if this option is used. This option will
237 force a non-shared build.
d5957691 238
ecabf05e
MC
239 no-autoerrinit
240 Don't automatically load all libcrypto/libssl error strings.
d5957691
MC
241 Typically OpenSSL will automatically load human readable
242 error strings. For a statically linked application this may
243 be undesirable if small executable size is an objective.
244
d5957691 245
ecabf05e
MC
246 no-capieng
247 Don't build the CAPI engine. This option will be forced if
248 on a platform that does not support CAPI.
d5957691 249

MC
250 no-cms
251 Don't build support for CMS features
d5957691 252
ecabf05e
MC
253 no-comp
254 Don't build support for SSL/TLS compression. If this option
255 is left enabled (the default), then compression will only
256 work if the zlib or zlib-dynamic options are also chosen.
d5957691 257
ecabf05e
MC
258 enable-crypto-mdebug
259 Build support for debugging memory allocated via
260 OPENSSL_malloc() or OPENSSL_zalloc().
261
262 enable-crypto-mdebug-backtrace
263 As for crypto-mdebug, but additionally provide backtrace
264 information for allocated memory.
8d054a55
RL
265 TO BE USED WITH CARE: this uses GNU C functionality, and
266 is therefore not usable for non-GNU config targets. If
267 your build complains about the use of '-rdynamic' or the
268 lack of header file execinfo.h, this option is not for you.
269 ALSO NOTE that even though execinfo.h is available on your
270 system (through Gnulib), the functions might just be stubs
271 that do nothing.
ecabf05e
MC
272
273 no-ct
274 Don't build support for Certificate Transparency.
275
276 no-deprecated
277 Don't build with support for any deprecated APIs. This is the
278 same as using "--api" and supplying the latest version
279 number.
280
281 no-dgram
282 Don't build support for datagram based BIOs. Selecting this
283 option will also force the disabling of DTLS.
284
285 no-dso
286 Don't build support for loading Dynamic Shared Objects.
287
288 no-dynamic-engine
289 Don't build the dynamically loaded engines. This only has an
290 effect in a "shared" build
291
292 no-ec
293 Don't build support for Elliptic Curves.
294
295 no-ec2m
296 Don't build support for binary Elliptic Curves
297
298 enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128
299 Enable support for optimised implementations of some commonly
300 used NIST elliptic curves. This is only supported on some
301 platforms.
302
303 enable-egd
304 Build support for gathering entropy from EGD (Entropy
305 Gathering Daemon).
306
307 no-engine
308 Don't build support for loading engines.
309
310 no-err
311 Don't compile in any error strings.
312
ce2596d4
MC
313 enable-external-tests
314 Enable building of integration with external test suites.
315 This is a developer option and may not work on all platforms.
316 The only supported external test suite at the current time is
5227337a
MC
317 the BoringSSL test suite. See the file test/README.external
318 for further details.
ce2596d4 319
ecabf05e
MC
320 no-filenames
321 Don't compile in filename and line number information (e.g.
322 for errors and memory allocation).
323
255af26c
MC
324 enable-fuzz-libfuzzer, enable-fuzz-afl
325 Build with support for fuzzing using either libfuzzer or AFL.
326 These are developer options only. They may not work on all
327 platforms and should never be used in production environments.
328 See the file fuzz/README.md for further details.
fa28bfd6 329
ecabf05e
MC
330 no-gost
331 Don't build support for GOST based ciphersuites. Note that
332 if this feature is enabled then GOST ciphersuites are only
333 available if the GOST algorithms are also available through
334 loading an externally supplied engine.
335
336 enable-heartbeats
337 Build support for DTLS heartbeats.
338
339 no-hw-padlock
340 Don't build the padlock engine.

342 no-makedepend
05328815 343 Don't generate dependencies.
ecabf05e
MC
344
345 no-multiblock
346 Don't build support for writing multiple records in one
347 go in libssl (Note: this is a different capability to the
348 pipelining functionality).
349
350 no-nextprotoneg
351 Don't build support for the NPN TLS extension.

d5957691 387
ecabf05e
MC
388 no-sse2
389 Exclude SSE2 code paths. Normally SSE2 extension is
d5957691
MC
390 detected at run-time, but the decision whether or not the
391 machine code will be executed is taken solely on CPU
392 capability vector. This means that if you happen to run OS
393 kernel which does not support SSE2 extension on Intel P4
394 processor, then your application might be exposed to
395 "illegal instruction" exception. There might be a way
396 to enable support in kernel, e.g. FreeBSD kernel can be
397 compiled with CPU_ENABLE_SSE, and there is a way to
f430ba31 398 disengage SSE2 code paths upon application start-up,
d5957691 399 but if you aim for wider "audience" running such kernel,
05328815 400 consider no-sse2. Both the 386 and no-asm options imply
d5957691
MC
401 no-sse2.
402
ecabf05e
MC
403 enable-ssl-trace
404 Build with the SSL Trace capabilities (adds the "-trace"
405 option to s_client and s_server).
406
407 no-static-engine
408 Don't build the statically linked engines. This only
409 has an impact when not built "shared".
410
411 no-stdio
412 Don't use any C "stdio" features. Only libcrypto and libssl
413 can be built in this way. Using this option will suppress
414 building the command line applications. Additionally since
415 the OpenSSL tests also use the command line applications the
416 tests will also be skipped.
417
418 no-threads
419 Don't try to build with support for multi-threaded
420 applications.
421
422 threads
423 Build with support for multi-threaded applications. Most
424 platforms will enable this by default. However if on a
425 platform where this is not the case then this will usually
426 require additional system-dependent options! See "Note on
427 multi-threading" below.
428
429 no-ts
430 Don't build Time Stamping Authority support.
431
fa28bfd6 432 enable-ubsan
f430ba31 433 Build with the Undefined Behaviour sanitiser. This is a
fa28bfd6
MC
434 developer option only. It may not work on all platforms and
435 should never be used in production environments. It will only
436 work when used with gcc or clang and should be used in
437 conjunction with the "-DPEDANTIC" option (or the
438 --strict-warnings option).
439
ecabf05e
MC
440 no-ui
441 Don't build with the "UI" capability (i.e. the set of
442 features enabling text based prompts).
443
444 enable-unit-test
445 Enable additional unit test APIs. This should not typically
446 be used in production deployments.
447
448 enable-weak-ssl-ciphers
449 Build support for SSL/TLS ciphers that are considered "weak"
450 (e.g. RC4 based ciphersuites).
451
452 zlib
453 Build with support for zlib compression/decompression.
454
455 zlib-dynamic
456 Like "zlib", but has OpenSSL load the zlib library
457 dynamically when needed. This is only supported on systems
458 where loading of shared libraries is supported.
459
460 386
461 On Intel hardware, use the 80386 instruction set only
462 (the default x86 code is more efficient, but requires at
463 least a 486). Note: Use compiler flags for any other CPU
464 specific configuration, e.g. "-m32" to build x86 code on
465 an x64 system.
d5957691 466
84a68336
MC
467 enable-tls1_3
468 TODO(TLS1.3): Make this enabled by default
469 Build support for TLS1.3. Note: This is a WIP feature and
470 does not currently interoperate with other TLS1.3
471 implementations! Use with caution!!
472
ecabf05e
MC
473 no-<prot>
474 Don't build support for negotiating the specified SSL/TLS
475 protocol (one of ssl, ssl3, tls, tls1, tls1_1, tls1_2, dtls,
476 dtls1 or dtls1_2). If "no-tls" is selected then all of tls1,
477 tls1_1 and tls1_2 are disabled. Similarly "no-dtls" will
478 disable dtls1 and dtls1_2. The "no-ssl" option is synonymous
479 with "no-ssl3". Note this only affects version negotiation.
480 OpenSSL will still provide the methods for applications to
481 explicitly select the individual protocol versions.
482
483 no-<prot>-method
484 As for no-<prot> but in addition do not build the methods for
485 applications to explicitly select individual protocol
486 versions.
487
488 enable-<alg>
489 Build with support for the specified algorithm, where <alg>
42e22c7c 490 is one of: md2 or rc5.
ecabf05e
MC
491
492 no-<alg>
493 Build without support for the specified algorithm, where
494 <alg> is one of: bf, blake2, camellia, cast, chacha, cmac,
42e22c7c 495 des, dh, dsa, ecdh, ecdsa, idea, md4, mdc2, ocb, poly1305,
e2562bbb

496 rc2, rc4, rmd160, scrypt, seed or whirlpool. The "ripemd"
497 algorithm is deprecated and if used is synonymous with rmd160.

502 additional libraries, library directories or other compiler
d5957691 503 options.

568 1c. Configure OpenSSL for building outside of the source tree.
569
570 OpenSSL can be configured to build in a build directory separate from
571 the directory with the source code. It's done by placing yourself in
572 some other directory and invoking the configuration commands from
573 there.
574
575 Unix example:
576
577 $ mkdir /var/tmp/openssl-build

608 $ make # Unix
609 $ mms ! (or mmk) OpenVMS
b32b8961 610 $ nmake # Windows
79e259e3 611
2acd8ec7
RL
612 This will build the OpenSSL libraries (libcrypto.a and libssl.a on
613 Unix, corresponding on other platforms) and the OpenSSL binary
614 ("openssl"). The libraries will be built in the top-level directory,
615 and the binary will be in the "apps" subdirectory.
79e259e3 616
2acd8ec7 617 If the build fails, look at the output. There may be reasons for
9020b862 618 the failure that aren't problems in OpenSSL itself (like missing
fa28bfd6
MC
619 standard headers). If you are having problems you can get help by
620 sending an email to the openssl-users email list (see
621 https://www.openssl.org/community/mailinglists.html for details). If it
622 is a bug with OpenSSL itself, please report the problem to
623 <rt@openssl.org> (note that your message will be recorded in the request
624 tracker publicly readable at
2acd8ec7 625 https://www.openssl.org/community/index.html#bugs and will be

645 If some tests fail, look at the output. There may be reasons for
646 the failure that isn't a problem in OpenSSL itself (like a
647 malfunction with Perl). You may want increased verbosity, that
648 can be accomplished like this:

656 If you want to run just one or a few specific tests, you can use
657 the make variable TESTS to specify them, like this:

4fd53220 766
2acd8ec7

767 This means that some software needs to be rewritten to adapt to
768 the new ways of doing things. This often amounts to allocating

771 provided accessor functions where you would previously access a
772 structure's field directly.

777 Environment Variables
778 ---------------------
779
780 A number of environment variables can be used to provide additional control
781 over the build process. Typically these should be defined prior to running
782 config or Configure. Not all environment variables are relevant to all
783 platforms.
784
785 AR
786 The name of the ar executable to use.
787

RL
788 BUILDFILE
789 Use a different build file name than the platform default
790 ("Makefile" on Unixly platforms, "makefile" on native Windows,
791 "descrip.mms" on OpenVMS). This requires that there is a
792 corresponding build file template. See Configurations/README
793 for further information.
794
fa28bfd6
MC
795 CC
796 The compiler to use. Configure will attempt to pick a default
797 compiler for your platform but this choice can be overridden
798 using this variable. Set it to the compiler executable you wish
799 to use, e.g. "gcc" or "clang".
800
801 CROSS_COMPILE
802 This environment variable has the same meaning as for the
803 "--cross-compile-prefix" Configure flag described above. If both
804 are set then the Configure flag takes precedence.
805
806 NM
807 The name of the nm executable to use.
808
809 OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR
810 OpenSSL comes with a database of information about how it
bf98d9da
RL
811 should be built on different platforms as well as build file
812 templates for those platforms. The database is comprised of
813 ".conf" files in the Configurations directory. The build
814 file templates reside there as well as ".tmpl" files. See the
fa28bfd6 815 file Configurations/README for further information about the
bf98d9da
RL
816 format of ".conf" files as well as information on the ".tmpl"
817 files.
818 In addition to the standard ".conf" and ".tmpl" files, it is
819 possible to create your own ".conf" and ".tmpl" files and store
820 them locally, outside the OpenSSL source tree. This environment
821 variable can be set to the directory where these files are held
b509b6d7
BK
822 and will be considered by Configure before it looks in the
823 standard directories.
fa28bfd6
MC
824
825 PERL
d513369b 826 The name of the Perl executable to use when building OpenSSL.
758baa3d
AP
827 This variable is used in config script only. Configure on the
828 other hand imposes the interpreter by which it itself was
829 executed on the whole build procedure.
d513369b
RL
830
831 HASHBANGPERL
832 The command string for the Perl executable to insert in the
833 #! line of perl scripts that will be publically installed.
834 Default: /usr/bin/env perl
835 Note: the value of this variable is added to the same scripts
836 on all platforms, but it's only relevant on Unix-like platforms.
fa28bfd6
MC
837
838 RC
839 The name of the rc executable to use. The default will be as
840 defined for the target platform in the ".conf" file. If not
841 defined then "windres" will be used. The WINDRES environment
842 variable is synonymous to this. If both are defined then RC
843 takes precedence.
844
845 RANLIB
846 The name of the ranlib executable to use.
847
848 WINDRES
849 See RC.
850
851 Makefile targets
852 ----------------
853
854 The Configure script generates a Makefile in a format relevant to the specific
855 platform. The Makefiles provide a number of targets that can be used. Not all
856 targets may be available on all platforms. Only the most common targets are
857 described here. Examine the Makefiles themselves for the full list.
858
859 all
860 The default target to build all the software components.
861
862 clean
863 Remove all build artefacts and return the directory to a "clean"
864 state.
865
866 depend
867 Rebuild the dependencies in the Makefiles. This is a legacy
868 option that no longer needs to be used in OpenSSL 1.1.0.
869
870 install
871 Install all OpenSSL components.
872
873 install_sw
874 Only install the OpenSSL software components.
875
876 install_docs
877 Only install the OpenSSL documentation components.
878
879 install_man_docs
880 Only install the OpenSSL man pages (Unix only).
881
882 install_html_docs
883 Only install the OpenSSL html documentation.
884
885 list-tests
886 Prints a list of all the self test names.
887
888 test
889 Build and run the OpenSSL self tests.
890
891 uninstall
892 Uninstall all OpenSSL components.
893
894 update
895 This is a developer option. If you are developing a patch for
896 OpenSSL you may need to use this if you want to update
897 automatically generated files; add new error codes or add new
898 (or change the visibility of) public API functions. (Unix only).

900 TESTS in Detail
901 ---------------
902
903 The make variable TESTS supports a versatile set of space separated tokens
904 with which you can specify a set of tests to be performed. With a "current
905 set of tests" in mind, initially being empty, here are the possible tokens:
906
907 alltests The current set of tests becomes the whole set of available
908 tests (as listed when you do 'make list-tests' or similar).
909 xxx Adds the test 'xxx' to the current set of tests.
910 -xxx Removes 'xxx' from the current set of tests. If this is the
911 first token in the list, the current set of tests is first
912 assigned the whole set of available tests, effectively making
913 this token equivalent to TESTS="alltests -xxx"
914
915 Also, all tokens except for "alltests" may have wildcards, such as *.
916 (on Unix and Windows, BSD style wildcards are supported, while on VMS,
917 it's VMS style wildcards)
918
919 Example: All tests except for the fuzz tests:
920
921 $ make TESTS=-test_fuzz test
922
923 or (if you want to be explicit)
924
925 $ make TESTS='alltests -test_fuzz' test
926
927 Example: All tests that have a name starting with "test_ssl" but not those
928 starting with "test_ssl_":
929
930 $ make TESTS='test_ssl* -test_ssl_*' test

932 Note on multi-threading
933 -----------------------
934
935 For some systems, the OpenSSL Configure script knows what compiler options
936 are needed to generate a library that is suitable for multi-threaded
937 applications. On these systems, support for multi-threading is enabled
938 by default; use the "no-threads" option to disable (this should never be
939 necessary).
940
941 On other systems, to enable support for multi-threading, you will have
33d50ef6 942 to specify at least two options: "threads", and a system-dependent option.
5f8d5c96
BM
943 (The latter is "-D_REENTRANT" on various systems.) The default in this
944 case, obviously, is not to include support for multi-threading (but
945 you can still use "no-threads" to suppress an annoying warning message
946 from the Configure script.)
947
35d8fa56 948 OpenSSL provides built-in support for two threading models: pthreads (found on
8b75603c
MC
949 most UNIX/Linux systems), and Windows threads. No other threading models are
950 supported. If your platform does not provide pthreads or Windows threads then
951 you should Configure with the "no-threads" option.

953 Notes on shared libraries
954 -------------------------
fcc6a1c4 955
ce942199
MC
956 For most systems the OpenSSL Configure script knows what is needed to
957 build shared libraries for libcrypto and libssl. On these systems
958 the shared libraries will be created by default. This can be suppressed and
959 only static libraries created by using the "no-shared" option. On systems
960 where OpenSSL does not know how to build shared libraries the "no-shared"
961 option will be forced and only static libraries will be created.
96c930dd 962
4fa3f08f
RL
963 Shared libraries are named a little differently on different platforms.
964 One way or another, they all have the major OpenSSL version number as
965 part of the file name, i.e. for OpenSSL 1.1.x, 1.1 is somehow part of
966 the name.
967
968 On most POSIXly platforms, shared libraries are named libcrypto.so.1.1
969 and libssl.so.1.1.
970
971 on Cygwin, shared libraries are named cygcrypto-1.1.dll and cygssl-1.1.dll
972 with import libraries libcrypto.dll.a and libssl.dll.a.
973
974 On Windows build with MSVC or using MingW, shared libraries are named
975 libcrypto-1_1.dll and libssl-1_1.dll for 32-bit Windows, libcrypto-1_1-x64.dll
976 and libssl-1_1-x64.dll for 64-bit x86_64 Windows, and libcrypto-1_1-ia64.dll
977 and libssl-1_1-ia64.dll for IA64 Windows. With MSVC, the import libraries
978 are named libcrypto.lib and libssl.lib, while with MingW, they are named
979 libcrypto.dll.a and libddl.dll.a.
980
981 On VMS, shareable images (VMS speak for shared libraries) are named
982 ossl$libcrypto0101_shr.exe and ossl$libssl0101_shr.exe. However, when
983 OpenSSL is specifically built for 32-bit pointers, the shareable images
984 are named ossl$libcrypto0101_shr32.exe and ossl$libssl0101_shr32.exe
985 instead, and when built for 64-bit pointers, they are named
986 ossl$libcrypto0101_shr64.exe and ossl$libssl0101_shr64.exe.

LJ
988 Note on random number generation
989 --------------------------------
990
991 Availability of cryptographically secure random numbers is required for
992 secret key generation. OpenSSL provides several options to seed the
993 internal PRNG. If not properly seeded, the internal PRNG will refuse
994 to deliver random bytes and a "PRNG not seeded error" will occur.
995 On systems without /dev/urandom (or similar) device, it may be necessary
fa28bfd6 996 to install additional support software to obtain a random seed.
