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. | |
75 | ||
4109b97c 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. | |
261 | ||
ecabf05e MC |
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. | |
281 | ||
ecabf05e | 282 | no-asm |
f529b5cf AP |
283 | Do not use assembler code. This should be viewed as |
284 | debugging/trouble-shooting option rather than production. | |
285 | On some platforms a small amount of assembler code may | |
286 | still be used even with this option. | |
ecabf05e MC |
287 | |
288 | no-async | |
289 | Do not build support for async operations. | |
d5957691 | 290 | |
ecabf05e MC |
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. | |
d5957691 | 300 | |
ecabf05e MC |
301 | no-autoerrinit |
302 | Don't automatically load all libcrypto/libssl error strings. | |
d5957691 MC |
303 | Typically OpenSSL will automatically load human readable |
304 | error strings. For a statically linked application this may | |
305 | be undesirable if small executable size is an objective. | |
306 | ||
dbabc862 BE |
307 | no-autoload-config |
308 | Don't automatically load the default openssl.cnf file. | |
309 | Typically OpenSSL will automatically load a system config | |
310 | file which configures default ssl options. | |
d5957691 | 311 | |
ac4033d6 RL |
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. |
ac4033d6 | 324 | |
ecabf05e MC |
325 | no-capieng |
326 | Don't build the CAPI engine. This option will be forced if | |
327 | on a platform that does not support CAPI. | |
d5957691 | 328 | |
8869ad4a AK |
329 | no-cmp |
330 | Don't build support for CMP features | |
331 | ||
ecabf05e MC |
332 | no-cms |
333 | Don't build support for CMS features | |
d5957691 | 334 | |
ecabf05e MC |
335 | no-comp |
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. | |
d5957691 | 339 | |
ecabf05e MC |
340 | enable-crypto-mdebug |
341 | Build support for debugging memory allocated via | |
342 | OPENSSL_malloc() or OPENSSL_zalloc(). | |
343 | ||
344 | enable-crypto-mdebug-backtrace | |
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. | |
ecabf05e MC |
354 | |
355 | no-ct | |
356 | Don't build support for Certificate Transparency. | |
357 | ||
358 | no-deprecated | |
359 | Don't build with support for any deprecated APIs. This is the | |
360 | same as using "--api" and supplying the latest version | |
361 | number. | |
362 | ||
363 | no-dgram | |
364 | Don't build support for datagram based BIOs. Selecting this | |
365 | option will also force the disabling of DTLS. | |
366 | ||
eb3fe0ee EQ |
367 | enable-devcryptoeng |
368 | Build the /dev/crypto engine. It is automatically selected | |
369 | on BSD implementations, in which case it can be disabled with | |
370 | no-devcryptoeng. | |
371 | ||
ecabf05e MC |
372 | no-dynamic-engine |
373 | Don't build the dynamically loaded engines. This only has an | |
374 | effect in a "shared" build | |
375 | ||
376 | no-ec | |
377 | Don't build support for Elliptic Curves. | |
378 | ||
379 | no-ec2m | |
380 | Don't build support for binary Elliptic Curves | |
381 | ||
382 | enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128 | |
383 | Enable support for optimised implementations of some commonly | |
b501ab6b RL |
384 | used NIST elliptic curves. |
385 | This is only supported on platforms: | |
386 | - with little-endian storage of non-byte types | |
387 | - that tolerate misaligned memory references | |
388 | - where the compiler: | |
389 | - supports the non-standard type __uint128_t | |
390 | - defines the built-in macro __SIZEOF_INT128__ | |
ecabf05e MC |
391 | |
392 | enable-egd | |
393 | Build support for gathering entropy from EGD (Entropy | |
394 | Gathering Daemon). | |
395 | ||
396 | no-engine | |
397 | Don't build support for loading engines. | |
398 | ||
399 | no-err | |
400 | Don't compile in any error strings. | |
401 | ||
ce2596d4 MC |
402 | enable-external-tests |
403 | Enable building of integration with external test suites. | |
404 | This is a developer option and may not work on all platforms. | |
405 | The only supported external test suite at the current time is | |
5227337a MC |
406 | the BoringSSL test suite. See the file test/README.external |
407 | for further details. | |
ce2596d4 | 408 | |
ecabf05e MC |
409 | no-filenames |
410 | Don't compile in filename and line number information (e.g. | |
411 | for errors and memory allocation). | |
412 | ||
e7545517 MC |
413 | no-fips |
414 | Don't compile the FIPS module | |
415 | ||
255af26c MC |
416 | enable-fuzz-libfuzzer, enable-fuzz-afl |
417 | Build with support for fuzzing using either libfuzzer or AFL. | |
418 | These are developer options only. They may not work on all | |
419 | platforms and should never be used in production environments. | |
420 | See the file fuzz/README.md for further details. | |
fa28bfd6 | 421 | |
ecabf05e MC |
422 | no-gost |
423 | Don't build support for GOST based ciphersuites. Note that | |
424 | if this feature is enabled then GOST ciphersuites are only | |
425 | available if the GOST algorithms are also available through | |
426 | loading an externally supplied engine. | |
427 | ||
d0308923 MC |
428 | no-legacy |
429 | Don't build the legacy provider. Disabling this also disables | |
430 | the legacy algorithms: MD2 (already disabled by default). | |
431 | ||
ecabf05e | 432 | no-makedepend |
05328815 | 433 | Don't generate dependencies. |
ecabf05e | 434 | |
706b6333 RL |
435 | no-module |
436 | Don't build any dynamically loadable engines. This also | |
437 | implies 'no-dynamic-engine'. | |
438 | ||
ecabf05e MC |

41999e7d MC |
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 | |
474 | details. | |

5ae5dc96 AP |
506 | Exclude SSE2 code paths from 32-bit x86 assembly modules. |
507 | Normally SSE2 extension is detected at run-time, but the | |
508 | decision whether or not the machine code will be executed | |
509 | is taken solely on CPU capability vector. This means that | |
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. | |

600 | all of tls1, tls1_1, tls1_2 and tls1_3 are disabled. | |
601 | Similarly "no-dtls" will disable dtls1 and dtls1_2. The | |
602 | "no-ssl" option is synonymous with "no-ssl3". Note this only | |

657 | The following variables are used as "make variables" and |

660 | The following variables are supported: | |
661 | ||
662 | AR The static library archiver. | |
663 | ARFLAGS Flags for the static library archiver. | |
664 | AS The assembler compiler. | |
665 | ASFLAGS Flags for the assembler compiler. | |
666 | CC The C compiler. | |
667 | CFLAGS Flags for the C compiler. | |
668 | CXX The C++ compiler. | |
669 | CXXFLAGS Flags for the C++ compiler. | |
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 RL |
675 | VMS). This can be used instead of using |
676 | -D (or what corresponds to that on your | |
677 | compiler) in CPPFLAGS. | |
5b18235a RL |
678 | CPPINCLUDES List of CPP inclusion directories, separated |
679 | the same way as for CPPDEFINES. This can | |
ec4c3891 RL |
680 | be used instead of -I (or what corresponds |
681 | to that on your compiler) in CPPFLAGS. | |
5b18235a | 682 | HASHBANGPERL Perl invocation to be inserted after '#!' |
ec4c3891 RL |
683 | in public perl scripts (only relevant on |
684 | Unix). | |
5b18235a RL |
685 | LD The program linker (not used on Unix, $(CC) |
686 | is used there). | |
687 | LDFLAGS Flags for the shared library, DSO and | |
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. | |
694 | RANLIB The library archive indexer. | |
46d08509 | 695 | RC The Windows resource compiler. |
696 | RCFLAGS Flags for the Windows resource compiler. | |
5b18235a RL |
697 | RM The command to remove files and directories. |
698 | ||
b9201360 RL |
699 | These cannot be mixed with compiling / linking flags given |
700 | on the command line. In other words, something like this | |
701 | isn't permitted. | |
5b18235a RL |
702 | |
703 | ./config -DFOO CPPFLAGS=-DBAR -DCOOKIE | |
704 | ||
80f27877 RL |
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 | |
717 | ||
718 | However, the following will see both set variables: | |
719 | ||
720 | CC=gcc CROSS_COMPILE=x86_64-w64-mingw32- \ | |
721 | ./config -DCOOKIE | |
722 | ||
284d19c2 RL |
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++'. | |
727 | ||
e7a20669 RL |
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 | ----------------------------- | |
747 | ||
748 | The configuration script itself will say very little, and finishes by | |
749 | creating "configdata.pm". This perl module can be loaded by other scripts | |
750 | to find all the configuration data, and it can also be used as a script to | |
751 | display all sorts of configuration data in a human readable form. | |

c9f06e7f | 776 | |
4109b97c | 777 | This guesses at your operating system (and compiler, if necessary) and |
b1fe6b43 | 778 | configures OpenSSL based on this guess. Run ./config -t to see |

779 | if it guessed correctly. If you want to use a different compiler, you |
780 | are cross-compiling for another platform, or the ./config guess was | |

4109b97c RE |
801 | Pick a suitable name from the list that matches your system. For most |
802 | operating systems there is a choice between using "cc" or "gcc". When | |
803 | you have identified your system (and if necessary compiler) use this name | |
2acd8ec7 | 804 | as the argument to Configure. For example, a "linux-elf" user would |
4109b97c | 805 | run: |
79e259e3 | 806 | |
ea24fe29 | 807 | $ ./Configure linux-elf [[ options ]] |
79e259e3 | 808 | |
5bb9e2b4 | 809 | If your system isn't listed, you will have to create a configuration |
ea24fe29 | 810 | file named Configurations/{{ something }}.conf and add the correct |
5bb9e2b4 RL |
811 | configuration for your system. See the available configs as examples |
812 | and read Configurations/README and Configurations/README.design for | |
813 | more information. | |
79e259e3 | 814 | |
5bb9e2b4 RL |
815 | The generic configurations "cc" or "gcc" should usually work on 32 bit |
816 | Unix-like systems. | |
817 | ||
fa28bfd6 MC |
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 | |
821 | include/openssl/opensslconf.h.in). | |

2acd8ec7 RL |
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 | |
833 | $ cd /var/tmp/openssl-build | |
ea24fe29 | 834 | $ /PATH/TO/OPENSSL/SOURCE/config [[ options ]] |
2acd8ec7 RL |
835 | |
836 | or | |
837 | ||
ea24fe29 | 838 | $ /PATH/TO/OPENSSL/SOURCE/Configure {{ target }} [[ options ]] |
2acd8ec7 RL |
839 | |
840 | OpenVMS example: | |
841 | ||
842 | $ set default sys$login: | |
843 | $ create/dir [.tmp.openssl-build] | |
844 | $ set default [.tmp.openssl-build] | |
ea24fe29 | 845 | $ @[PATH.TO.OPENSSL.SOURCE]config [[ options ]] |
2acd8ec7 RL |
846 | |
847 | or | |
848 | ||
ea24fe29 | 849 | $ @[PATH.TO.OPENSSL.SOURCE]Configure {{ target }} [[ options ]] |
2acd8ec7 | 850 | |
b32b8961 RL |
851 | Windows example: |
852 | ||
853 | $ C: | |
854 | $ mkdir \temp-openssl | |
855 | $ cd \temp-openssl | |

b32b8961 | 857 | |

859 | do its best to translate them to relative paths whenever possible. | |

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 | |
1af66bb7 | 872 | Troubleshooting: |
873 | ||
1e62cc12 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. |
b1fe6b43 | 899 | |
462ba4f6 | 900 | 3. After a successful build, the libraries should be tested. Run: |
79e259e3 | 901 | |
2acd8ec7 RL |
902 | $ make test # Unix |
903 | $ mms test ! OpenVMS | |
b32b8961 | 904 | $ nmake test # Windows |
79e259e3 | 905 | |
6616429d | 906 | NOTE: you MUST run the tests from an unprivileged account (or |
f430ba31 | 907 | disable your privileges temporarily if your platform allows it). |
6616429d | 908 | |
2e996acf RL |
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 | |
912 | can be accomplished like this: | |
913 | ||
be6bdab6 | 914 | $ make VERBOSE=1 test # Unix |
2acd8ec7 | 915 | |
e8173157 | 916 | $ mms /macro=(VERBOSE=1) test ! OpenVMS |
2e996acf | 917 | |
be6bdab6 | 918 | $ nmake VERBOSE=1 test # Windows |
b32b8961 | 919 | |
2e996acf RL |
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: | |
922 | ||
2acd8ec7 RL |
923 | $ make TESTS='test_rsa test_dsa' test # Unix |
924 | $ mms/macro="TESTS=test_rsa test_dsa" test ! OpenVMS | |
b32b8961 | 925 | $ nmake TESTS='test_rsa test_dsa' test # Windows |
2e996acf | 926 | |
2acd8ec7 | 927 | And of course, you can combine (Unix example shown): |
a73d990e | 928 | |
be6bdab6 | 929 | $ make VERBOSE=1 TESTS='test_rsa test_dsa' test |
2e996acf RL |
930 | |
931 | You can find the list of available tests like this: | |
932 | ||
2acd8ec7 | 933 | $ make list-tests # Unix |
5bb9e2b4 | 934 | $ mms list-tests ! OpenVMS |
b32b8961 | 935 | $ nmake list-tests # Windows |
2e996acf | 936 | |
d40b0622 RL |
937 | Have a look at the manual for the perl module Test::Harness to |
938 | see what other HARNESS_* variables there are. | |
939 | ||
2e996acf | 940 | If you find a problem with OpenSSL itself, try removing any |
2acd8ec7 RL |
941 | compiler optimization flags from the CFLAGS line in Makefile and |
942 | run "make clean; make" or corresponding. | |

1005 | |
1006 | Additionally, install will add the following directories under | |
1007 | OPENSSLDIR (the directory given with --openssldir or its default) | |
1008 | for you convenience: | |
1009 | ||
1010 | certs Initially empty, this is the default location | |
1011 | for certificate files. | |
1012 | private Initially empty, this is the default location | |
1013 | for private key files. | |
1014 | misc Various scripts. | |

7c03bb9f MC |
1016 | The installation directory should be appropriately protected to ensure |
1017 | unprivileged users cannot make changes to OpenSSL binaries or files, or | |
1018 | install engines. If you already have a pre-installed version of OpenSSL as | |
1019 | part of your Operating System it is recommended that you do not overwrite | |
1020 | the system version and instead install to somewhere else. | |
1021 | ||
e5f3045f BM |
1022 | Package builders who want to configure the library for standard |
1023 | locations, but have the package installed somewhere else so that | |
1024 | it can easily be packaged, can use | |

4fd53220 BM |
1033 | |
1034 | * COMPILING existing applications | |
1035 | ||
62b563b9 RL |
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. | |
4fd53220 | 1047 | |
2acd8ec7 RL |
1048 | Some APIs have changed as well. However, older APIs have been |
1049 | preserved when possible. | |

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. |
fa28bfd6 MC |
1143 | |
1144 | install | |
1145 | Install all OpenSSL components. | |
1146 | ||
1147 | install_sw | |
1148 | Only install the OpenSSL software components. | |
1149 | ||
1150 | install_docs | |
1151 | Only install the OpenSSL documentation components. | |
1152 | ||
1153 | install_man_docs | |
1154 | Only install the OpenSSL man pages (Unix only). | |

1159 | list-tests | |
1160 | Prints a list of all the self test names. | |
1161 | ||
1162 | test | |
1163 | Build and run the OpenSSL self tests. | |
1164 | ||
1165 | uninstall | |
1166 | Uninstall all OpenSSL components. | |

fa28bfd6 MC |
1173 | update |
1174 | This is a developer option. If you are developing a patch for | |
1175 | OpenSSL you may need to use this if you want to update | |
1176 | automatically generated files; add new error codes or add new | |
1177 | (or change the visibility of) public API functions. (Unix only). | |

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' | |
1229 | ||
5d2f3e4a P |
1230 | To stochastically verify that the algorithm that produces uniformly distributed |
1231 | random numbers is operating correctly (with a false positive rate of 0.01%): | |
1232 | ||
1233 | $ ./util/shlib_wrap.sh test/bntest -stochastic | |
1234 | ||
5f8d5c96 BM |
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. |

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. | |

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. |
