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

RE
76 Quick Start
77 -----------
79e259e3 78
4109b97c 79 If you want to just get on with it, do:
79e259e3 80
886c2e61 81 on Unix (again, this includes Mac OS/X):
2acd8ec7
RL
82
83 $ ./config
84 $ make
85 $ make test
86 $ make install
87
88 on OpenVMS:
89
90 $ @config
91 $ mms
92 $ mms test
93 $ mms install
79e259e3 94
b32b8961
RL
95 on Windows (only pick one of the targets for configuration):
96
97 $ perl Configure { VC-WIN32 | VC-WIN64A | VC-WIN64I | VC-CE }
98 $ nmake
99 $ nmake test
8c16829e 100 $ nmake install
b32b8961 101
7c03bb9f
MC
102 Note that in order to perform the install step above you need to have
103 appropriate permissions to write to the installation directory.
104
ea24fe29 105 If any of these steps fails, see section Installation in Detail below.
b1fe6b43 106
2acd8ec7
RL
107 This will build and install OpenSSL in the default location, which is:
108
109 Unix: normal installation directories under /usr/local
110 OpenVMS: SYS$COMMON:[OPENSSL-'version'...], where 'version' is the
667c6bfe
RL
111 OpenSSL version number with underscores instead of periods.
112 Windows: C:\Program Files\OpenSSL or C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenSSL
2acd8ec7 113
7c03bb9f
MC
114 The installation directory should be appropriately protected to ensure
115 unprivileged users cannot make changes to OpenSSL binaries or files, or install
116 engines. If you already have a pre-installed version of OpenSSL as part of
117 your Operating System it is recommended that you do not overwrite the system
118 version and instead install to somewhere else.
119
2acd8ec7 120 If you want to install it anywhere else, run config like this:
79e259e3 121
2acd8ec7
RL
122 On Unix:
123
124 $ ./config --prefix=/opt/openssl --openssldir=/usr/local/ssl
125
126 On OpenVMS:
127
128 $ @config --prefix=PROGRAM:[INSTALLS] --openssldir=SYS$MANAGER:[OPENSSL]
79e259e3 129
62f218cb
RL
130 (Note: if you do add options to the configuration command, please make sure
131 you've read more than just this Quick Start, such as relevant NOTES.* files,
132 the options outline below, as configuration options may change the outcome
133 in otherwise unexpected ways)
134
b1fe6b43
UM
135
136 Configuration Options
137 ---------------------
138
2d99cee7 139 There are several options to ./config (or ./Configure) to customize
8c16829e
RL
140 the build (note that for Windows, the defaults for --prefix and
141 --openssldir depend in what configuration is used and what Windows
142 implementation OpenSSL is built on. More notes on this in NOTES.WIN):
2613c1fa 143
fa28bfd6
MC
144 --api=x.y.z
145 Don't build with support for deprecated APIs below the
146 specified version number. For example "--api=1.1.0" will
147 remove support for all APIS that were deprecated in OpenSSL
bf9d6bb8
DMSP
148 version 1.1.0 or below. This is a rather specialized option
149 for developers. If you just intend to remove all deprecated
150 APIs entirely (up to the current version), it is easier
151 to add the 'no-deprecated' option instead (see below).
462ba4f6 152
fa28bfd6
MC
153 --cross-compile-prefix=PREFIX
154 The PREFIX to include in front of commands for your
85afea67
AP
155 toolchain. It's likely to have to end with dash, e.g.
156 a-b-c- would invoke GNU compiler as a-b-c-gcc, etc.
157 Unfortunately cross-compiling is too case-specific to
158 put together one-size-fits-all instructions. You might
159 have to pass more flags or set up environment variables
160 to actually make it work. Android and iOS cases are
f44d7e8b
AP
161 discussed in corresponding Configurations/15-*.conf
162 files. But there are cases when this option alone is
85afea67
AP
163 sufficient. For example to build the mingw64 target on
164 Linux "--cross-compile-prefix=x86_64-w64-mingw32-"
165 works. Naturally provided that mingw packages are
166 installed. Today Debian and Ubuntu users have option to
167 install a number of prepackaged cross-compilers along
168 with corresponding run-time and development packages for
169 "alien" hardware. To give another example
170 "--cross-compile-prefix=mipsel-linux-gnu-" suffices
171 in such case. Needless to mention that you have to
172 invoke ./Configure, not ./config, and pass your target
f44d7e8b
AP
173 name explicitly. Also, note that --openssldir refers
174 to target's file system, not one you are building on.
fa28bfd6
MC
175
176 --debug
f44d7e8b
AP
177 Build OpenSSL with debugging symbols and zero optimization
178 level.
fa28bfd6
MC
179
180 --libdir=DIR
181 The name of the directory under the top of the installation
182 directory tree (see the --prefix option) where libraries will
183 be installed. By default this is "lib". Note that on Windows
184 only ".lib" files will be stored in this location. dll files
185 will always be installed to the "bin" directory.
2acd8ec7 186
ecabf05e
MC
187 --openssldir=DIR
188 Directory for OpenSSL configuration files, and also the
d5957691
MC
189 default certificate and key store. Defaults are:
190
667c6bfe 191 Unix: /usr/local/ssl
8c16829e
RL
192 Windows: C:\Program Files\Common Files\SSL
193 or C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\SSL
667c6bfe 194 OpenVMS: SYS$COMMON:[OPENSSL-COMMON]
d5957691 195
fa28bfd6
MC
196 --prefix=DIR
197 The top of the installation directory tree. Defaults are:
198
199 Unix: /usr/local
200 Windows: C:\Program Files\OpenSSL
201 or C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenSSL
202 OpenVMS: SYS$COMMON:[OPENSSL-'version']
203
204 --release
205 Build OpenSSL without debugging symbols. This is the default.
206
207 --strict-warnings
208 This is a developer flag that switches on various compiler
209 options recommended for OpenSSL development. It only works
210 when using gcc or clang as the compiler. If you are
211 developing a patch for OpenSSL then it is recommended that
212 you use this option where possible.
213
214 --with-zlib-include=DIR
215 The directory for the location of the zlib include file. This
216 option is only necessary if enable-zlib (see below) is used
217 and the include file is not already on the system include
218 path.
219
220 --with-zlib-lib=LIB
221 On Unix: this is the directory containing the zlib library.
222 If not provided the system library path will be used.
223 On Windows: this is the filename of the zlib library (with or
224 without a path). This flag must be provided if the
225 zlib-dynamic option is not also used. If zlib-dynamic is used
226 then this flag is optional and a default value ("ZLIB1") is
a73d990e 227 used if not provided.
fa28bfd6
MC
228 On VMS: this is the filename of the zlib library (with or
229 without a path). This flag is optional and if not provided
230 then "GNV$LIBZSHR", "GNV$LIBZSHR32" or "GNV$LIBZSHR64" is
231 used by default depending on the pointer size chosen.
d5957691 232
a73d990e
DMSP
233
234 --with-rand-seed=seed1[,seed2,...]
235 A comma separated list of seeding methods which will be tried
236 by OpenSSL in order to obtain random input (a.k.a "entropy")
237 for seeding its cryptographically secure random number
238 generator (CSPRNG). The current seeding methods are:
239
240 os: Use a trusted operating system entropy source.
241 This is the default method if such an entropy
242 source exists.
14879629
KR
243 getrandom: Use the L<getrandom(2)> or equivalent system
244 call.
3c74e77b 245 devrandom: Use the first device from the DEVRANDOM list
a73d990e
DMSP
246 which can be opened to read random bytes. The
247 DEVRANDOM preprocessor constant expands to
248 "/dev/urandom","/dev/random","/dev/srandom" on
249 most unix-ish operating systems.
250 egd: Check for an entropy generating daemon.
251 rdcpu: Use the RDSEED or RDRAND command if provided by
252 the CPU.
253 librandom: Use librandom (not implemented yet).
254 none: Disable automatic seeding. This is the default
255 on some operating systems where no suitable
256 entropy source exists, or no support for it is
257 implemented yet.
258
259 For more information, see the section 'Note on random number
260 generation' at the end of this document.

262 no-afalgeng
263 Don't build the AFALG engine. This option will be forced if
264 on a platform that does not support AFALG.
265
69495e3d
BP
266 enable-ktls
267 Build with Kernel TLS support. This option will enable the
268 use of the Kernel TLS data-path, which can improve
269 performance and allow for the use of sendfile and splice
270 system calls on TLS sockets. The Kernel may use TLS
271 accelerators if any are available on the system.
272 This option will be forced off on systems that do not support
273 the Kernel TLS data-path.
274
fa28bfd6 275 enable-asan
f430ba31 276 Build with the Address sanitiser. This is a developer option
fa28bfd6
MC
277 only. It may not work on all platforms and should never be
278 used in production environments. It will only work when used
279 with gcc or clang and should be used in conjunction with the
280 no-shared option.

ecabf05e 282 no-asm
f529b5cf
AP
283 Do not use assembler code. This should be viewed as

291 no-autoalginit
292 Don't automatically load all supported ciphers and digests.
d5957691
MC
293 Typically OpenSSL will make available all of its supported
294 ciphers and digests. For a statically linked application this
295 may be undesirable if small executable size is an objective.
296 This only affects libcrypto. Ciphers and digests will have to
297 be loaded manually using EVP_add_cipher() and
ecabf05e
MC
298 EVP_add_digest() if this option is used. This option will
299 force a non-shared build.

312 enable-buildtest-c++
313 While testing, generate C++ buildtest files that
314 simply check that the public OpenSSL header files
315 are usable standalone with C++.
316
317 Enabling this option demands extra care. For any
318 compiler flag given directly as configuration
319 option, you must ensure that it's valid for both
320 the C and the C++ compiler. If not, the C++ build
321 test will most likely break. As an alternative,
322 you can use the language specific variables, CFLAGS
284d19c2 323 and CXXFLAGS.

336 Don't build support for SSL/TLS compression. If this option
337 is left enabled (the default), then compression will only
338 work if the zlib or zlib-dynamic options are also chosen.

340 enable-crypto-mdebug
341 Build support for debugging memory allocated via
342 OPENSSL_malloc() or OPENSSL_zalloc().

345 As for crypto-mdebug, but additionally provide backtrace
346 information for allocated memory.
8d054a55
RL
347 TO BE USED WITH CARE: this uses GNU C functionality, and
348 is therefore not usable for non-GNU config targets. If
349 your build complains about the use of '-rdynamic' or the
350 lack of header file execinfo.h, this option is not for you.
351 ALSO NOTE that even though execinfo.h is available on your
352 system (through Gnulib), the functions might just be stubs
353 that do nothing.

458 no-pinshared By default OpenSSL will attempt to stay in memory until the
459 process exits. This is so that libcrypto and libssl can be
460 properly cleaned up automatically via an "atexit()" handler.
461 The handler is registered by libcrypto and cleans up both
462 libraries. On some platforms the atexit() handler will run on
463 unload of libcrypto (if it has been dynamically loaded)
464 rather than at process exit. This option can be used to stop
465 OpenSSL from attempting to stay in memory until the process
466 exits. This could lead to crashes if either libcrypto or
467 libssl have already been unloaded at the point
468 that the atexit handler is invoked, e.g. on a platform which
469 calls atexit() on unload of the library, and libssl is
470 unloaded before libcrypto then a crash is likely to happen.
471 Applications can suppress running of the atexit() handler at
472 run time by using the OPENSSL_INIT_NO_ATEXIT option to
473 OPENSSL_init_crypto(). See the man page for it for further

510 if you happen to run OS kernel which does not support SSE2
511 extension on Intel P4 processor, then your application
512 might be exposed to "illegal instruction" exception.
513 There might be a way to enable support in kernel, e.g.
514 FreeBSD kernel can be compiled with CPU_ENABLE_SSE, and
515 there is a way to disengage SSE2 code paths upon application
516 start-up, but if you aim for wider "audience" running
517 such kernel, consider no-sse2. Both the 386 and
518 no-asm options imply no-sse2.

670 CPP The C/C++ preprocessor.
671 CPPFLAGS Flags for the C/C++ preprocessor.
672 CPPDEFINES List of CPP macro definitions, separated
673 by a platform specific character (':' or
674 space for Unix, ';' for Windows, ',' for
ec4c3891

675 VMS). This can be used instead of using
676 -D (or what corresponds to that on your
677 compiler) in CPPFLAGS.
5b18235a

678 CPPINCLUDES List of CPP inclusion directories, separated
679 the same way as for CPPDEFINES. This can
ec4c3891

683 in public perl scripts (only relevant on
684 Unix).

685 LD The program linker (not used on Unix, $(CC)
686 is used there).

688 program linker.
689 LDLIBS Extra libraries to use when linking.
690 Takes the form of a space separated list
691 of library specifications on Unix and
692 Windows, and as a comma separated list of
693 libraries on VMS.

705 Backward compatibility note:
706
707 To be compatible with older configuration scripts, the
708 environment variables are ignored if compiling / linking
709 flags are given on the command line, except for these:
710
711 AR, CC, CXX, CROSS_COMPILE, HASHBANGPERL, PERL, RANLIB, RC
712 and WINDRES
713
714 For example, the following command will not see -DBAR:
715
716 CPPFLAGS=-DBAR ./config -DCOOKIE

720 CC=gcc CROSS_COMPILE=x86_64-w64-mingw32- \
721 ./config -DCOOKIE
722
284d19c2

723 If CC is set, it is advisable to also set CXX to ensure
724 both C and C++ compilers are in the same "family". This
725 becomes relevant with 'enable-external-tests' and
726 'enable-buildtest-c++'.

728 reconf
729 reconfigure
730 Reconfigure from earlier data. This fetches the previous
731 command line options and environment from data saved in
732 "configdata.pm", and runs the configuration process again,
733 using these options and environment.
734 Note: NO other option is permitted together with "reconf".
735 This means that you also MUST use "./Configure" (or
736 what corresponds to that on non-Unix platforms) directly
737 to invoke this option.
738 Note: The original configuration saves away values for ALL
739 environment variables that were used, and if they weren't
740 defined, they are still saved away with information that
741 they weren't originally defined. This information takes
742 precedence over environment variables that are defined
743 when reconfiguring.

745 Displaying configuration data
746 -----------------------------

801 Pick a suitable name from the list that matches your system. For most

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

823 1c. Configure OpenSSL for building outside of the source tree.
824
825 OpenSSL can be configured to build in a build directory separate from
826 the directory with the source code. It's done by placing yourself in
827 some other directory and invoking the configuration commands from
828 there.
829
830 Unix example:
831
832 $ mkdir /var/tmp/openssl-build

863 $ make # Unix
864 $ mms ! (or mmk) OpenVMS
b32b8961 865 $ nmake # Windows
79e259e3 866
2acd8ec7
RL
867 This will build the OpenSSL libraries (libcrypto.a and libssl.a on
868 Unix, corresponding on other platforms) and the OpenSSL binary
869 ("openssl"). The libraries will be built in the top-level directory,
870 and the binary will be in the "apps" subdirectory.
79e259e3 871

RS
874 If the build fails, look at the output. There may be reasons
875 for the failure that aren't problems in OpenSSL itself (like
1af66bb7 876 missing standard headers).
877
878 If the build succeeded previously, but fails after a source or
879 configuration change, it might be helpful to clean the build tree
880 before attempting another build. Use this command:
881
882 $ make clean # Unix
883 $ mms clean ! (or mmk) OpenVMS
884 $ nmake clean # Windows
885
886 Assembler error messages can sometimes be sidestepped by using the
887 "no-asm" configuration option.
888
889 Compiling parts of OpenSSL with gcc and others with the system
890 compiler will result in unresolved symbols on some systems.
891
892 If you are still having problems you can get help by sending an email
893 to the openssl-users email list (see
1e62cc12
RS
894 https://www.openssl.org/community/mailinglists.html for details). If
895 it is a bug with OpenSSL itself, please open an issue on GitHub, at
896 https://github.com/openssl/openssl/issues. Please review the existing
897 ones first; maybe the bug was already reported or has already been
d5957691 898 fixed.

909 If some tests fail, look at the output. There may be reasons for
910 the failure that isn't a problem in OpenSSL itself (like a
911 malfunction with Perl). You may want increased verbosity, that

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

1036 Starting with version 1.1.0, OpenSSL hides a number of structures
1037 that were previously open. This includes all internal libssl
1038 structures and a number of EVP types. Accessor functions have
1039 been added to allow controlled access to the structures' data.
4fd53220 1040
2acd8ec7
RL
1041 This means that some software needs to be rewritten to adapt to
1042 the new ways of doing things. This often amounts to allocating
1043 an instance of a structure explicitly where you could previously
1044 allocate them on the stack as automatic variables, and using the
1045 provided accessor functions where you would previously access a
1046 structure's field directly.

1051 Environment Variables
1052 ---------------------
1053
1054 A number of environment variables can be used to provide additional control
1055 over the build process. Typically these should be defined prior to running
1056 config or Configure. Not all environment variables are relevant to all
1057 platforms.
1058
1059 AR
1060 The name of the ar executable to use.
1061
ed43fe73
RL
1062 BUILDFILE
1063 Use a different build file name than the platform default
46d08509 1064 ("Makefile" on Unix-like platforms, "makefile" on native Windows,
ed43fe73
RL
1065 "descrip.mms" on OpenVMS). This requires that there is a
1066 corresponding build file template. See Configurations/README
1067 for further information.
1068
fa28bfd6
MC
1069 CC
1070 The compiler to use. Configure will attempt to pick a default
1071 compiler for your platform but this choice can be overridden
1072 using this variable. Set it to the compiler executable you wish
1073 to use, e.g. "gcc" or "clang".
1074
1075 CROSS_COMPILE
1076 This environment variable has the same meaning as for the
1077 "--cross-compile-prefix" Configure flag described above. If both
1078 are set then the Configure flag takes precedence.
1079
1080 NM
1081 The name of the nm executable to use.
1082
1083 OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR
1084 OpenSSL comes with a database of information about how it
bf98d9da
RL
1085 should be built on different platforms as well as build file
1086 templates for those platforms. The database is comprised of
1087 ".conf" files in the Configurations directory. The build
1088 file templates reside there as well as ".tmpl" files. See the
fa28bfd6 1089 file Configurations/README for further information about the
bf98d9da
RL
1090 format of ".conf" files as well as information on the ".tmpl"
1091 files.
1092 In addition to the standard ".conf" and ".tmpl" files, it is
1093 possible to create your own ".conf" and ".tmpl" files and store
1094 them locally, outside the OpenSSL source tree. This environment
1095 variable can be set to the directory where these files are held
b509b6d7
BK
1096 and will be considered by Configure before it looks in the
1097 standard directories.
fa28bfd6
MC
1098
1099 PERL
d513369b 1100 The name of the Perl executable to use when building OpenSSL.
758baa3d
AP
1101 This variable is used in config script only. Configure on the
1102 other hand imposes the interpreter by which it itself was
1103 executed on the whole build procedure.
d513369b
RL
1104
1105 HASHBANGPERL
1106 The command string for the Perl executable to insert in the
1107 #! line of perl scripts that will be publically installed.
1108 Default: /usr/bin/env perl
1109 Note: the value of this variable is added to the same scripts
1110 on all platforms, but it's only relevant on Unix-like platforms.
fa28bfd6
MC
1111
1112 RC
1113 The name of the rc executable to use. The default will be as
1114 defined for the target platform in the ".conf" file. If not
1115 defined then "windres" will be used. The WINDRES environment
1116 variable is synonymous to this. If both are defined then RC
1117 takes precedence.
1118
1119 RANLIB
1120 The name of the ranlib executable to use.
1121
1122 WINDRES
1123 See RC.
1124
1125 Makefile targets
1126 ----------------
1127
1128 The Configure script generates a Makefile in a format relevant to the specific
1129 platform. The Makefiles provide a number of targets that can be used. Not all
1130 targets may be available on all platforms. Only the most common targets are
1131 described here. Examine the Makefiles themselves for the full list.
1132
1133 all
1134 The default target to build all the software components.
1135
1136 clean
1137 Remove all build artefacts and return the directory to a "clean"
1138 state.
1139
1140 depend
1141 Rebuild the dependencies in the Makefiles. This is a legacy
62b563b9 1142 option that no longer needs to be used since OpenSSL 1.1.0.

1179 TESTS in Detail
1180 ---------------
1181
1182 The make variable TESTS supports a versatile set of space separated tokens
1183 with which you can specify a set of tests to be performed. With a "current
1184 set of tests" in mind, initially being empty, here are the possible tokens:
1185
1186 alltests The current set of tests becomes the whole set of available
1187 tests (as listed when you do 'make list-tests' or similar).
1188 xxx Adds the test 'xxx' to the current set of tests.
1189 -xxx Removes 'xxx' from the current set of tests. If this is the
1190 first token in the list, the current set of tests is first
1191 assigned the whole set of available tests, effectively making
d0631327
RL
1192 this token equivalent to TESTS="alltests -xxx".
1193 nn Adds the test group 'nn' (which is a number) to the current
1194 set of tests.
1195 -nn Removes the test group 'nn' from the current set of tests.
1196 If this is the first token in the list, the current set of
1197 tests is first assigned the whole set of available tests,
1198 effectively making this token equivalent to
1199 TESTS="alltests -xxx".
b3e718e2
RL
1200
1201 Also, all tokens except for "alltests" may have wildcards, such as *.
1202 (on Unix and Windows, BSD style wildcards are supported, while on VMS,
1203 it's VMS style wildcards)
1204
1205 Example: All tests except for the fuzz tests:
1206
1207 $ make TESTS=-test_fuzz test
1208
1209 or (if you want to be explicit)
1210
1211 $ make TESTS='alltests -test_fuzz' test
1212
1213 Example: All tests that have a name starting with "test_ssl" but not those
1214 starting with "test_ssl_":
1215
1216 $ make TESTS='test_ssl* -test_ssl_*' test
1217
d0631327
RL
1218 Example: Only test group 10:
1219
1220 $ make TESTS='10'
1221
1222 Example: All tests except the slow group (group 99):
1223
1224 $ make TESTS='-99'
1225
1226 Example: All tests in test groups 80 to 99 except for tests in group 90:
1227
1228 $ make TESTS='[89]? -90'

1235 Note on multi-threading
1236 -----------------------
1237
1238 For some systems, the OpenSSL Configure script knows what compiler options
1239 are needed to generate a library that is suitable for multi-threaded
1240 applications. On these systems, support for multi-threading is enabled
1241 by default; use the "no-threads" option to disable (this should never be
1242 necessary).
1243
1244 On other systems, to enable support for multi-threading, you will have
33d50ef6 1245 to specify at least two options: "threads", and a system-dependent option.
5f8d5c96
BM
1246 (The latter is "-D_REENTRANT" on various systems.) The default in this
1247 case, obviously, is not to include support for multi-threading (but
1248 you can still use "no-threads" to suppress an annoying warning message
1249 from the Configure script.)
1250
35d8fa56 1251 OpenSSL provides built-in support for two threading models: pthreads (found on
8b75603c
MC
1252 most UNIX/Linux systems), and Windows threads. No other threading models are
1253 supported. If your platform does not provide pthreads or Windows threads then
1254 you should Configure with the "no-threads" option.

1256 Notes on shared libraries
1257 -------------------------
fcc6a1c4 1258
ce942199
MC
1259 For most systems the OpenSSL Configure script knows what is needed to
1260 build shared libraries for libcrypto and libssl. On these systems
1261 the shared libraries will be created by default. This can be suppressed and
1262 only static libraries created by using the "no-shared" option. On systems
1263 where OpenSSL does not know how to build shared libraries the "no-shared"
1264 option will be forced and only static libraries will be created.
96c930dd 1265
4fa3f08f
RL
1266 Shared libraries are named a little differently on different platforms.
1267 One way or another, they all have the major OpenSSL version number as
1268 part of the file name, i.e. for OpenSSL 1.1.x, 1.1 is somehow part of
1269 the name.
1270
46d08509 1271 On most POSIX platforms, shared libraries are named libcrypto.so.1.1
4fa3f08f
RL
1272 and libssl.so.1.1.
1273
1274 on Cygwin, shared libraries are named cygcrypto-1.1.dll and cygssl-1.1.dll
1275 with import libraries libcrypto.dll.a and libssl.dll.a.
1276
1277 On Windows build with MSVC or using MingW, shared libraries are named
1278 libcrypto-1_1.dll and libssl-1_1.dll for 32-bit Windows, libcrypto-1_1-x64.dll
1279 and libssl-1_1-x64.dll for 64-bit x86_64 Windows, and libcrypto-1_1-ia64.dll
1280 and libssl-1_1-ia64.dll for IA64 Windows. With MSVC, the import libraries
1281 are named libcrypto.lib and libssl.lib, while with MingW, they are named
b77b6127 1282 libcrypto.dll.a and libssl.dll.a.
4fa3f08f
RL
1283
1284 On VMS, shareable images (VMS speak for shared libraries) are named
1285 ossl$libcrypto0101_shr.exe and ossl$libssl0101_shr.exe. However, when
1286 OpenSSL is specifically built for 32-bit pointers, the shareable images
1287 are named ossl$libcrypto0101_shr32.exe and ossl$libssl0101_shr32.exe
1288 instead, and when built for 64-bit pointers, they are named
1289 ossl$libcrypto0101_shr64.exe and ossl$libssl0101_shr64.exe.

LJ
1291 Note on random number generation
1292 --------------------------------
1293
1294 Availability of cryptographically secure random numbers is required for
1295 secret key generation. OpenSSL provides several options to seed the
a73d990e 1296 internal CSPRNG. If not properly seeded, the internal CSPRNG will refuse
96c930dd 1297 to deliver random bytes and a "PRNG not seeded error" will occur.
4a9476dd 1298
a73d990e
DMSP
1299 The seeding method can be configured using the --with-rand-seed option,
1300 which can be used to specify a comma separated list of seed methods.
1301 However in most cases OpenSSL will choose a suitable default method,
46d08509 1302 so it is not necessary to explicitly provide this option. Note also
a73d990e
DMSP
1303 that not all methods are available on all platforms.
1304
1305 I) On operating systems which provide a suitable randomness source (in
1306 form of a system call or system device), OpenSSL will use the optimal
1307 available method to seed the CSPRNG from the operating system's
1308 randomness sources. This corresponds to the option --with-rand-seed=os.
1309
1310 II) On systems without such a suitable randomness source, automatic seeding
1311 and reseeding is disabled (--with-rand-seed=none) and it may be necessary
1312 to install additional support software to obtain a random seed and reseed
1313 the CSPRNG manually. Please check out the manual pages for RAND_add(),
1314 RAND_bytes(), RAND_egd(), and the FAQ for more information.
