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:
79e259e3 109
2acd8ec7
RL
110 On Unix:
111
112 $ ./config --prefix=/opt/openssl --openssldir=/usr/local/ssl
113
114 On OpenVMS:
115
116 $ @config --prefix=PROGRAM:[INSTALLS] --openssldir=SYS$MANAGER:[OPENSSL]

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.
ecabf05e
MC
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
ecabf05e
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
313 no-filenames
314 Don't compile in filename and line number information (e.g.
315 for errors and memory allocation).
316
255af26c
MC
317 enable-fuzz-libfuzzer, enable-fuzz-afl
318 Build with support for fuzzing using either libfuzzer or AFL.
319 These are developer options only. They may not work on all
320 platforms and should never be used in production environments.
321 See the file fuzz/README.md for further details.
fa28bfd6 322
ecabf05e
MC
323 no-gost
324 Don't build support for GOST based ciphersuites. Note that
325 if this feature is enabled then GOST ciphersuites are only
326 available if the GOST algorithms are also available through
327 loading an externally supplied engine.
328
329 enable-heartbeats
330 Build support for DTLS heartbeats.
331
332 no-hw-padlock
333 Don't build the padlock engine.
334
335 no-makedepend
05328815 336 Don't generate dependencies.
ecabf05e
MC
337
338 no-multiblock
339 Don't build support for writing multiple records in one
340 go in libssl (Note: this is a different capability to the
341 pipelining functionality).
342
343 no-nextprotoneg
344 Don't build support for the NPN TLS extension.
345
346 no-ocsp
347 Don't build support for OCSP.
d5957691 348
ecabf05e

357
358 no-rdrand
359 Don't use hardware RDRAND capabilities.
360
361 no-rfc3779

372 no-sock
373 Don't build support for socket BIOs
d5957691 374
ecabf05e

375 no-srp
376 Don't build support for SRP or SRP based ciphersuites.
377
378 no-srtp
379 Don't build SRTP support
d5957691 380
ecabf05e
MC
381 no-sse2
382 Exclude SSE2 code paths. Normally SSE2 extension is
d5957691
MC
383 detected at run-time, but the decision whether or not the
384 machine code will be executed is taken solely on CPU
385 capability vector. This means that if you happen to run OS
386 kernel which does not support SSE2 extension on Intel P4
387 processor, then your application might be exposed to
388 "illegal instruction" exception. There might be a way
389 to enable support in kernel, e.g. FreeBSD kernel can be
390 compiled with CPU_ENABLE_SSE, and there is a way to
f430ba31 391 disengage SSE2 code paths upon application start-up,
d5957691 392 but if you aim for wider "audience" running such kernel,
05328815 393 consider no-sse2. Both the 386 and no-asm options imply
d5957691
MC
394 no-sse2.
395
ecabf05e
MC
396 enable-ssl-trace
397 Build with the SSL Trace capabilities (adds the "-trace"
398 option to s_client and s_server).
399
400 no-static-engine
401 Don't build the statically linked engines. This only
402 has an impact when not built "shared".
403
404 no-stdio
405 Don't use any C "stdio" features. Only libcrypto and libssl
406 can be built in this way. Using this option will suppress
407 building the command line applications. Additionally since
408 the OpenSSL tests also use the command line applications the
409 tests will also be skipped.
410
411 no-threads
412 Don't try to build with support for multi-threaded
413 applications.
414
415 threads
416 Build with support for multi-threaded applications. Most
417 platforms will enable this by default. However if on a
418 platform where this is not the case then this will usually
419 require additional system-dependent options! See "Note on
420 multi-threading" below.
421
422 no-ts
423 Don't build Time Stamping Authority support.
424
fa28bfd6 425 enable-ubsan
f430ba31 426 Build with the Undefined Behaviour sanitiser. This is a
fa28bfd6
MC
427 developer option only. It may not work on all platforms and
428 should never be used in production environments. It will only
429 work when used with gcc or clang and should be used in
430 conjunction with the "-DPEDANTIC" option (or the
431 --strict-warnings option).
432
ecabf05e
MC
433 no-ui
434 Don't build with the "UI" capability (i.e. the set of
435 features enabling text based prompts).
436
437 enable-unit-test
438 Enable additional unit test APIs. This should not typically
439 be used in production deployments.
440
441 enable-weak-ssl-ciphers
442 Build support for SSL/TLS ciphers that are considered "weak"
443 (e.g. RC4 based ciphersuites).
444
445 zlib
446 Build with support for zlib compression/decompression.
447
448 zlib-dynamic
449 Like "zlib", but has OpenSSL load the zlib library
450 dynamically when needed. This is only supported on systems
451 where loading of shared libraries is supported.
452
453 386
454 On Intel hardware, use the 80386 instruction set only
455 (the default x86 code is more efficient, but requires at
456 least a 486). Note: Use compiler flags for any other CPU
457 specific configuration, e.g. "-m32" to build x86 code on
458 an x64 system.
d5957691 459
ecabf05e
MC
460 no-<prot>
461 Don't build support for negotiating the specified SSL/TLS
462 protocol (one of ssl, ssl3, tls, tls1, tls1_1, tls1_2, dtls,
463 dtls1 or dtls1_2). If "no-tls" is selected then all of tls1,
464 tls1_1 and tls1_2 are disabled. Similarly "no-dtls" will
465 disable dtls1 and dtls1_2. The "no-ssl" option is synonymous
466 with "no-ssl3". Note this only affects version negotiation.
467 OpenSSL will still provide the methods for applications to
468 explicitly select the individual protocol versions.
469
470 no-<prot>-method
471 As for no-<prot> but in addition do not build the methods for
472 applications to explicitly select individual protocol
473 versions.
474
475 enable-<alg>
476 Build with support for the specified algorithm, where <alg>
477 is one of: md2 or rc5.
478
479 no-<alg>
480 Build without support for the specified algorithm, where
481 <alg> is one of: bf, blake2, camellia, cast, chacha, cmac,
482 des, dh, dsa, ecdh, ecdsa, idea, md4, md5, mdc2, ocb,
483 ploy1305, rc2, rc4, rmd160, scrypt, seed or whirlpool. The
484 "ripemd" algorithm is deprecated and if used is synonymous
485 with rmd160.
486
487 -Dxxx, -lxxx, -Lxxx, -fxxx, -mXXX, -Kxxx
488 These system specific options will be passed through to the
489 compiler to allow you to define preprocessor symbols, specify
490 additional libraries, library directories or other compiler
d5957691 491 options.

534 Pick a suitable name from the list that matches your system. For most
535 operating systems there is a choice between using "cc" or "gcc". When
536 you have identified your system (and if necessary compiler) use this name
2acd8ec7 537 as the argument to Configure. For example, a "linux-elf" user would
4109b97c 538 run:
79e259e3 539
ea24fe29 540 $ ./Configure linux-elf [[ options ]]
79e259e3 541
5bb9e2b4 542 If your system isn't listed, you will have to create a configuration
ea24fe29 543 file named Configurations/{{ something }}.conf and add the correct
5bb9e2b4

544 configuration for your system. See the available configs as examples
545 and read Configurations/README and Configurations/README.design for
546 more information.

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

556 1c. Configure OpenSSL for building outside of the source tree.
557
558 OpenSSL can be configured to build in a build directory separate from
559 the directory with the source code. It's done by placing yourself in
560 some other directory and invoking the configuration commands from
561 there.
562
563 Unix example:
564
565 $ mkdir /var/tmp/openssl-build
566 $ cd /var/tmp/openssl-build
ea24fe29 567 $ /PATH/TO/OPENSSL/SOURCE/config [[ options ]]

569 or
570
ea24fe29 571 $ /PATH/TO/OPENSSL/SOURCE/Configure {{ target }} [[ options ]]
2acd8ec7
RL
572
573 OpenVMS example:
574
575 $ set default sys$login:
576 $ create/dir [.tmp.openssl-build]
577 $ set default [.tmp.openssl-build]
ea24fe29 578 $ @[PATH.TO.OPENSSL.SOURCE]config [[ options ]]
2acd8ec7
RL

580 or
581
ea24fe29 582 $ @[PATH.TO.OPENSSL.SOURCE]Configure {{ target }} [[ options ]]
2acd8ec7 583
b32b8961
RL
584 Windows example:
585
586 $ C:
587 $ mkdir \temp-openssl
588 $ cd \temp-openssl
ea24fe29 589 $ perl d:\PATH\TO\OPENSSL\SOURCE\Configure {{ target }} [[ options ]]

591 Paths can be relative just as well as absolute. Configure will
592 do its best to translate them to relative paths whenever possible.

462ba4f6 594 2. Build OpenSSL by running:
79e259e3 595
2acd8ec7
RL
596 $ make # Unix
597 $ mms ! (or mmk) OpenVMS
b32b8961 598 $ nmake # Windows
79e259e3 599
2acd8ec7
RL
600 This will build the OpenSSL libraries (libcrypto.a and libssl.a on
601 Unix, corresponding on other platforms) and the OpenSSL binary
602 ("openssl"). The libraries will be built in the top-level directory,
603 and the binary will be in the "apps" subdirectory.
79e259e3 604
2acd8ec7 605 If the build fails, look at the output. There may be reasons for
9020b862 606 the failure that aren't problems in OpenSSL itself (like missing
fa28bfd6
MC
607 standard headers). If you are having problems you can get help by
608 sending an email to the openssl-users email list (see
609 https://www.openssl.org/community/mailinglists.html for details). If it
610 is a bug with OpenSSL itself, please report the problem to
611 <rt@openssl.org> (note that your message will be recorded in the request
612 tracker publicly readable at
2acd8ec7 613 https://www.openssl.org/community/index.html#bugs and will be
d5957691
MC
614 forwarded to a public mailing list). Please check out the request
615 tracker. Maybe the bug was already reported or has already been
616 fixed.

621 Compiling parts of OpenSSL with gcc and others with the system
622 compiler will result in unresolved symbols on some systems.
623
462ba4f6 624 3. After a successful build, the libraries should be tested. Run:
79e259e3 625
2acd8ec7
RL
626 $ make test # Unix
627 $ mms test ! OpenVMS
b32b8961 628 $ nmake test # Windows
79e259e3 629
6616429d 630 NOTE: you MUST run the tests from an unprivileged account (or
f430ba31 631 disable your privileges temporarily if your platform allows it).

RL
633 If some tests fail, look at the output. There may be reasons for
634 the failure that isn't a problem in OpenSSL itself (like a
635 malfunction with Perl). You may want increased verbosity, that
636 can be accomplished like this:
637
be6bdab6 638 $ make VERBOSE=1 test # Unix
2acd8ec7 639
e8173157 640 $ mms /macro=(VERBOSE=1) test ! OpenVMS
2e996acf 641
be6bdab6 642 $ nmake VERBOSE=1 test # Windows
b32b8961 643
2e996acf
RL
644 If you want to run just one or a few specific tests, you can use
645 the make variable TESTS to specify them, like this:
646
2acd8ec7
RL
647 $ make TESTS='test_rsa test_dsa' test # Unix
648 $ mms/macro="TESTS=test_rsa test_dsa" test ! OpenVMS
b32b8961 649 $ nmake TESTS='test_rsa test_dsa' test # Windows
2e996acf 650
2acd8ec7 651 And of course, you can combine (Unix example shown):
2e996acf 652
be6bdab6 653 $ make VERBOSE=1 TESTS='test_rsa test_dsa' test
2e996acf
RL
654
655 You can find the list of available tests like this:
656
2acd8ec7 657 $ make list-tests # Unix
5bb9e2b4 658 $ mms list-tests ! OpenVMS
b32b8961 659 $ nmake list-tests # Windows

661 Have a look at the manual for the perl module Test::Harness to
662 see what other HARNESS_* variables there are.
663
2e996acf 664 If you find a problem with OpenSSL itself, try removing any
2acd8ec7
RL
665 compiler optimization flags from the CFLAGS line in Makefile and
666 run "make clean; make" or corresponding.

745 * COMPILING existing applications
746
fa28bfd6 747 OpenSSL 1.1.0 hides a number of structures that were previously
2acd8ec7
RL
748 open. This includes all internal libssl structures and a number
749 of EVP types. Accessor functions have been added to allow
750 controlled access to the structures' data.
4fd53220 751
2acd8ec7
RL
752 This means that some software needs to be rewritten to adapt to
753 the new ways of doing things. This often amounts to allocating
754 an instance of a structure explicitly where you could previously
755 allocate them on the stack as automatic variables, and using the
756 provided accessor functions where you would previously access a
757 structure's field directly.

762 Environment Variables
763 ---------------------
764
765 A number of environment variables can be used to provide additional control
766 over the build process. Typically these should be defined prior to running
767 config or Configure. Not all environment variables are relevant to all
768 platforms.
769
770 AR
771 The name of the ar executable to use.
772
773 CC
774 The compiler to use. Configure will attempt to pick a default
775 compiler for your platform but this choice can be overridden
776 using this variable. Set it to the compiler executable you wish
777 to use, e.g. "gcc" or "clang".
778
779 CROSS_COMPILE
780 This environment variable has the same meaning as for the
781 "--cross-compile-prefix" Configure flag described above. If both
782 are set then the Configure flag takes precedence.
783
784 NM
785 The name of the nm executable to use.
786
787 OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR
788 OpenSSL comes with a database of information about how it
789 should be built on different platforms. This information is
790 held in ".conf" files in the Configurations directory. See the
791 file Configurations/README for further information about the
792 format of ".conf" files. As well as the standard ".conf" files
793 it is possible to create your own ".conf" files and store them
794 locally, outside the OpenSSL source tree. This environment
795 variable can be set to the directory where these files are held.
796
797 PERL
d513369b
RL
798 The name of the Perl executable to use when building OpenSSL.
799
800 HASHBANGPERL
801 The command string for the Perl executable to insert in the
802 #! line of perl scripts that will be publically installed.
803 Default: /usr/bin/env perl
804 Note: the value of this variable is added to the same scripts
805 on all platforms, but it's only relevant on Unix-like platforms.
fa28bfd6
MC
806
807 RC
808 The name of the rc executable to use. The default will be as
809 defined for the target platform in the ".conf" file. If not
810 defined then "windres" will be used. The WINDRES environment
811 variable is synonymous to this. If both are defined then RC
812 takes precedence.
813
814 RANLIB
815 The name of the ranlib executable to use.
816
817 WINDRES
818 See RC.
819
820 Makefile targets
821 ----------------
822
823 The Configure script generates a Makefile in a format relevant to the specific
824 platform. The Makefiles provide a number of targets that can be used. Not all
825 targets may be available on all platforms. Only the most common targets are
826 described here. Examine the Makefiles themselves for the full list.
827
828 all
829 The default target to build all the software components.
830
831 clean
832 Remove all build artefacts and return the directory to a "clean"
833 state.
834
835 depend
836 Rebuild the dependencies in the Makefiles. This is a legacy
837 option that no longer needs to be used in OpenSSL 1.1.0.
838
839 install
840 Install all OpenSSL components.
841
842 install_sw
843 Only install the OpenSSL software components.
844
845 install_docs
846 Only install the OpenSSL documentation components.
847
848 install_man_docs
849 Only install the OpenSSL man pages (Unix only).
850
851 install_html_docs
852 Only install the OpenSSL html documentation.
853
854 list-tests
855 Prints a list of all the self test names.
856
857 test
858 Build and run the OpenSSL self tests.
859
860 uninstall
861 Uninstall all OpenSSL components.
862
863 update
864 This is a developer option. If you are developing a patch for
865 OpenSSL you may need to use this if you want to update
866 automatically generated files; add new error codes or add new
867 (or change the visibility of) public API functions. (Unix only).

869 Note on multi-threading
870 -----------------------
871
872 For some systems, the OpenSSL Configure script knows what compiler options
873 are needed to generate a library that is suitable for multi-threaded
874 applications. On these systems, support for multi-threading is enabled
875 by default; use the "no-threads" option to disable (this should never be
876 necessary).
877
878 On other systems, to enable support for multi-threading, you will have
33d50ef6 879 to specify at least two options: "threads", and a system-dependent option.
5f8d5c96
BM
880 (The latter is "-D_REENTRANT" on various systems.) The default in this
881 case, obviously, is not to include support for multi-threading (but
882 you can still use "no-threads" to suppress an annoying warning message
883 from the Configure script.)
884
35d8fa56 885 OpenSSL provides built-in support for two threading models: pthreads (found on
8b75603c
MC
886 most UNIX/Linux systems), and Windows threads. No other threading models are
887 supported. If your platform does not provide pthreads or Windows threads then
888 you should Configure with the "no-threads" option.

RL
889
890 Note on shared libraries
891 ------------------------
892
ce942199
MC
893 For most systems the OpenSSL Configure script knows what is needed to
894 build shared libraries for libcrypto and libssl. On these systems
895 the shared libraries will be created by default. This can be suppressed and
896 only static libraries created by using the "no-shared" option. On systems
897 where OpenSSL does not know how to build shared libraries the "no-shared"
898 option will be forced and only static libraries will be created.

LJ
899
900 Note on random number generation
901 --------------------------------
902
903 Availability of cryptographically secure random numbers is required for
904 secret key generation. OpenSSL provides several options to seed the
905 internal PRNG. If not properly seeded, the internal PRNG will refuse
906 to deliver random bytes and a "PRNG not seeded error" will occur.
907 On systems without /dev/urandom (or similar) device, it may be necessary
fa28bfd6 908 to install additional support software to obtain a random seed.

909 Please check out the manual pages for RAND_add(), RAND_bytes(), RAND_egd(),
910 and the FAQ for more information.
