+ OPENSSL INSTALLATION
+ --------------------
+
+ This document describes installation on all supported operating
+ systems (the Unix/Linux family (which includes Mac OS/X), OpenVMS,
+ and Windows).
+
+ To install OpenSSL, you will need:
+
+ * A make implementation
+ * Perl 5 with core modules (please read NOTES.PERL)
+ * The perl module Text::Template (please read NOTES.PERL)
+ * an ANSI C compiler
+ * a development environment in the form of development libraries and C
+ header files
+ * a supported operating system
+
+ For additional platform specific requirements, solutions to specific
+ issues and other details, please read one of these:
+
+ * NOTES.UNIX (any supported Unix like system)
+ * NOTES.VMS (OpenVMS)
+ * NOTES.WIN (any supported Windows)
+ * NOTES.DJGPP (DOS platform with DJGPP)
+ * NOTES.ANDROID (obviously Android [NDK])
+ * NOTES.VALGRIND (testing with Valgrind)
+
+ Notational conventions in this document
+ ---------------------------------------
+
+ Throughout this document, we use the following conventions in command
+ examples:
+
+ $ command Any line starting with a dollar sign
+ ($) is a command line.
+
+ { word1 | word2 | word3 } This denotes a mandatory choice, to be
+ replaced with one of the given words.
+ A simple example would be this:
+
+ $ echo { FOO | BAR | COOKIE }
+
+ which is to be understood as one of
+ these:
+
+ $ echo FOO
+ - or -
+ $ echo BAR
+ - or -
+ $ echo COOKIE
+
+ [ word1 | word2 | word3 ] Similar to { word1 | word2 | word3 }
+ except it's optional to give any of
+ those. In addition to the examples
+ above, this would also be valid:
+
+ $ echo
+
+ {{ target }} This denotes a mandatory word or
+ sequence of words of some sort. A
+ simple example would be this:
+
+ $ type {{ filename }}
+
+ which is to be understood to use the
+ command 'type' on some file name
+ determined by the user.
+
+ [[ options ]] Similar to {{ target }}, but is
+ optional.
+
+ Note that the notation assumes spaces around {, }, [, ], {{, }} and
+ [[, ]]. This is to differentiate from OpenVMS directory
+ specifications, which also use [ and ], but without spaces.
+
+ Quick Start
+ -----------
+
+ If you want to just get on with it, do:
+
+ on Unix (again, this includes Mac OS/X):
+
+ $ ./config
+ $ make
+ $ make test
+ $ make install
+
+ on OpenVMS:
+
+ $ @config
+ $ mms
+ $ mms test
+ $ mms install
+
+ on Windows (only pick one of the targets for configuration):
+
+ $ perl Configure { VC-WIN32 | VC-WIN64A | VC-WIN64I | VC-CE }
+ $ nmake
+ $ nmake test
+ $ nmake install
+
+ Note that in order to perform the install step above you need to have
+ appropriate permissions to write to the installation directory.
+
+ If any of these steps fails, see section Installation in Detail below.
+
+ This will build and install OpenSSL in the default location, which is:
+
+ Unix: normal installation directories under /usr/local
+ OpenVMS: SYS$COMMON:[OPENSSL-'version'...], where 'version' is the
+ OpenSSL version number with underscores instead of periods.
+ Windows: C:\Program Files\OpenSSL or C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenSSL
+
+ The installation directory should be appropriately protected to ensure
+ unprivileged users cannot make changes to OpenSSL binaries or files, or install
+ engines. If you already have a pre-installed version of OpenSSL as part of
+ your Operating System it is recommended that you do not overwrite the system
+ version and instead install to somewhere else.
+
+ If you want to install it anywhere else, run config like this:
+
+ On Unix:
+
+ $ ./config --prefix=/opt/openssl --openssldir=/usr/local/ssl
+
+ On OpenVMS:
+
+ $ @config --prefix=PROGRAM:[INSTALLS] --openssldir=SYS$MANAGER:[OPENSSL]
+
+ (Note: if you do add options to the configuration command, please make sure
+ you've read more than just this Quick Start, such as relevant NOTES.* files,
+ the options outline below, as configuration options may change the outcome
+ in otherwise unexpected ways)
+
+
+ Configuration Options
+ ---------------------
+
+ There are several options to ./config (or ./Configure) to customize
+ the build (note that for Windows, the defaults for --prefix and
+ --openssldir depend in what configuration is used and what Windows
+ implementation OpenSSL is built on. More notes on this in NOTES.WIN):
+
+ --api=x.y[.z]
+ Build the OpenSSL libraries to support the API for
+ the specified version. If "no-deprecated" is also
+ given, don't build with support for deprecated APIs
+ in or below the specified version number. For example
+ "--api=1.1.0" with "no-deprecated" will remove
+ support for all APIS that were deprecated in
+ OpenSSL version 1.1.0 or below.
+ This is a rather specialized option for developers.
+ If you just intend to remove all deprecated APIs
+ entirely (up to the current version), only specify
+ "-no-deprecated" (see below).
+ If "--api" isn't given, it defaults to the current
+ OpenSSL minor version.
+
+ --cross-compile-prefix=PREFIX
+ The PREFIX to include in front of commands for your
+ toolchain. It's likely to have to end with dash, e.g.
+ a-b-c- would invoke GNU compiler as a-b-c-gcc, etc.
+ Unfortunately cross-compiling is too case-specific to
+ put together one-size-fits-all instructions. You might
+ have to pass more flags or set up environment variables
+ to actually make it work. Android and iOS cases are
+ discussed in corresponding Configurations/15-*.conf
+ files. But there are cases when this option alone is
+ sufficient. For example to build the mingw64 target on
+ Linux "--cross-compile-prefix=x86_64-w64-mingw32-"
+ works. Naturally provided that mingw packages are
+ installed. Today Debian and Ubuntu users have option to
+ install a number of prepackaged cross-compilers along
+ with corresponding run-time and development packages for
+ "alien" hardware. To give another example
+ "--cross-compile-prefix=mipsel-linux-gnu-" suffices
+ in such case. Needless to mention that you have to
+ invoke ./Configure, not ./config, and pass your target
+ name explicitly. Also, note that --openssldir refers
+ to target's file system, not one you are building on.
+
+ --debug
+ Build OpenSSL with debugging symbols and zero optimization
+ level.
+
+ --libdir=DIR
+ The name of the directory under the top of the installation
+ directory tree (see the --prefix option) where libraries will
+ be installed. By default this is "lib". Note that on Windows
+ only ".lib" files will be stored in this location. dll files
+ will always be installed to the "bin" directory.
+
+ --openssldir=DIR
+ Directory for OpenSSL configuration files, and also the
+ default certificate and key store. Defaults are:
+
+ Unix: /usr/local/ssl
+ Windows: C:\Program Files\Common Files\SSL
+ or C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\SSL
+ OpenVMS: SYS$COMMON:[OPENSSL-COMMON]
+
+ --prefix=DIR
+ The top of the installation directory tree. Defaults are:
+
+ Unix: /usr/local
+ Windows: C:\Program Files\OpenSSL
+ or C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenSSL
+ OpenVMS: SYS$COMMON:[OPENSSL-'version']
+
+ --release
+ Build OpenSSL without debugging symbols. This is the default.
+
+ --strict-warnings
+ This is a developer flag that switches on various compiler
+ options recommended for OpenSSL development. It only works
+ when using gcc or clang as the compiler. If you are
+ developing a patch for OpenSSL then it is recommended that
+ you use this option where possible.
+
+ --with-zlib-include=DIR
+ The directory for the location of the zlib include file. This
+ option is only necessary if enable-zlib (see below) is used
+ and the include file is not already on the system include
+ path.
+
+ --with-zlib-lib=LIB
+ On Unix: this is the directory containing the zlib library.
+ If not provided the system library path will be used.
+ On Windows: this is the filename of the zlib library (with or
+ without a path). This flag must be provided if the
+ zlib-dynamic option is not also used. If zlib-dynamic is used
+ then this flag is optional and a default value ("ZLIB1") is
+ used if not provided.
+ On VMS: this is the filename of the zlib library (with or
+ without a path). This flag is optional and if not provided
+ then "GNV$LIBZSHR", "GNV$LIBZSHR32" or "GNV$LIBZSHR64" is
+ used by default depending on the pointer size chosen.
+
+
+ --with-rand-seed=seed1[,seed2,...]
+ A comma separated list of seeding methods which will be tried
+ by OpenSSL in order to obtain random input (a.k.a "entropy")
+ for seeding its cryptographically secure random number
+ generator (CSPRNG). The current seeding methods are:
+
+ os: Use a trusted operating system entropy source.
+ This is the default method if such an entropy
+ source exists.
+ getrandom: Use the L<getrandom(2)> or equivalent system
+ call.
+ devrandom: Use the first device from the DEVRANDOM list
+ which can be opened to read random bytes. The
+ DEVRANDOM preprocessor constant expands to
+ "/dev/urandom","/dev/random","/dev/srandom" on
+ most unix-ish operating systems.
+ egd: Check for an entropy generating daemon.
+ rdcpu: Use the RDSEED or RDRAND command if provided by
+ the CPU.
+ librandom: Use librandom (not implemented yet).
+ none: Disable automatic seeding. This is the default
+ on some operating systems where no suitable
+ entropy source exists, or no support for it is
+ implemented yet.
+
+ For more information, see the section 'Note on random number
+ generation' at the end of this document.
+
+ no-afalgeng
+ Don't build the AFALG engine. This option will be forced if
+ on a platform that does not support AFALG.
+
+ enable-ktls
+ Build with Kernel TLS support. This option will enable the
+ use of the Kernel TLS data-path, which can improve
+ performance and allow for the use of sendfile and splice
+ system calls on TLS sockets. The Kernel may use TLS
+ accelerators if any are available on the system.
+ This option will be forced off on systems that do not support
+ the Kernel TLS data-path.
+
+ enable-asan
+ Build with the Address sanitiser. This is a developer option
+ only. It may not work on all platforms and should never be
+ used in production environments. It will only work when used
+ with gcc or clang and should be used in conjunction with the
+ no-shared option.
+
+ no-asm
+ Do not use assembler code. This should be viewed as
+ debugging/trouble-shooting option rather than production.
+ On some platforms a small amount of assembler code may
+ still be used even with this option.
+
+ no-async
+ Do not build support for async operations.
+
+ no-autoalginit
+ Don't automatically load all supported ciphers and digests.
+ Typically OpenSSL will make available all of its supported
+ ciphers and digests. For a statically linked application this
+ may be undesirable if small executable size is an objective.
+ This only affects libcrypto. Ciphers and digests will have to
+ be loaded manually using EVP_add_cipher() and
+ EVP_add_digest() if this option is used. This option will
+ force a non-shared build.
+
+ no-autoerrinit
+ Don't automatically load all libcrypto/libssl error strings.
+ Typically OpenSSL will automatically load human readable
+ error strings. For a statically linked application this may
+ be undesirable if small executable size is an objective.
+
+ no-autoload-config
+ Don't automatically load the default openssl.cnf file.
+ Typically OpenSSL will automatically load a system config
+ file which configures default ssl options.
+
+ enable-buildtest-c++
+ While testing, generate C++ buildtest files that
+ simply check that the public OpenSSL header files
+ are usable standalone with C++.
+
+ Enabling this option demands extra care. For any
+ compiler flag given directly as configuration
+ option, you must ensure that it's valid for both
+ the C and the C++ compiler. If not, the C++ build
+ test will most likely break. As an alternative,
+ you can use the language specific variables, CFLAGS
+ and CXXFLAGS.
+
+ no-capieng
+ Don't build the CAPI engine. This option will be forced if
+ on a platform that does not support CAPI.
+
+ no-cmp
+ Don't build support for CMP features
+
+ no-cms
+ Don't build support for CMS features
+
+ no-comp
+ Don't build support for SSL/TLS compression. If this option
+ is left enabled (the default), then compression will only
+ work if the zlib or zlib-dynamic options are also chosen.
+
+ enable-crypto-mdebug
+ This now only enables the failed-malloc feature.
+
+ enable-crypto-mdebug-backtrace
+ This is a no-op; the project uses the compiler's
+ address/leak sanitizer instead.
+
+ no-ct
+ Don't build support for Certificate Transparency.
+
+ no-deprecated
+ Don't build with support for deprecated APIs up
+ until and including the version given with
+ "--api" (or the current version of "--api" wasn't
+ given).
+
+ no-dgram
+ Don't build support for datagram based BIOs. Selecting this
+ option will also force the disabling of DTLS.
+
+ no-dso
+ Don't build support for loading Dynamic Shared Objects.
+
+ enable-devcryptoeng
+ Build the /dev/crypto engine. It is automatically selected
+ on BSD implementations, in which case it can be disabled with
+ no-devcryptoeng.
+
+ no-dynamic-engine
+ Don't build the dynamically loaded engines. This only has an
+ effect in a "shared" build
+
+ no-ec
+ Don't build support for Elliptic Curves.
+
+ no-ec2m
+ Don't build support for binary Elliptic Curves
+
+ enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128
+ Enable support for optimised implementations of some commonly
+ used NIST elliptic curves.
+ This is only supported on platforms:
+ - with little-endian storage of non-byte types
+ - that tolerate misaligned memory references
+ - where the compiler:
+ - supports the non-standard type __uint128_t
+ - defines the built-in macro __SIZEOF_INT128__
+
+ enable-egd
+ Build support for gathering entropy from EGD (Entropy
+ Gathering Daemon).
+
+ no-engine
+ Don't build support for loading engines.
+
+ no-err
+ Don't compile in any error strings.
+
+ enable-external-tests
+ Enable building of integration with external test suites.
+ This is a developer option and may not work on all platforms.
+ The only supported external test suite at the current time is
+ the BoringSSL test suite. See the file test/README.external
+ for further details.
+
+ no-filenames
+ Don't compile in filename and line number information (e.g.
+ for errors and memory allocation).
+
+ no-fips
+ Don't compile the FIPS module
+
+ enable-fuzz-libfuzzer, enable-fuzz-afl
+ Build with support for fuzzing using either libfuzzer or AFL.
+ These are developer options only. They may not work on all
+ platforms and should never be used in production environments.
+ See the file fuzz/README.md for further details.
+
+ no-gost
+ Don't build support for GOST based ciphersuites. Note that
+ if this feature is enabled then GOST ciphersuites are only
+ available if the GOST algorithms are also available through
+ loading an externally supplied engine.
+
+ no-legacy
+ Don't build the legacy provider. Disabling this also disables
+ the legacy algorithms: MD2 (already disabled by default).
+
+ no-makedepend
+ Don't generate dependencies.
+
+ no-module
+ Don't build any dynamically loadable engines. This also
+ implies 'no-dynamic-engine'.
+
+ no-multiblock
+ Don't build support for writing multiple records in one
+ go in libssl (Note: this is a different capability to the
+ pipelining functionality).
+
+ no-nextprotoneg
+ Don't build support for the NPN TLS extension.
+
+ no-ocsp
+ Don't build support for OCSP.
+
+ no-padlockeng
+ no-hw-padlock
+ Don't build the padlock engine.
+ ('no-hw-padlock' is deprecated and should not be used)
+
+ no-pic
+ Don't build with support for Position Independent Code.
+
+ no-pinshared By default OpenSSL will attempt to stay in memory until the
+ process exits. This is so that libcrypto and libssl can be
+ properly cleaned up automatically via an "atexit()" handler.
+ The handler is registered by libcrypto and cleans up both
+ libraries. On some platforms the atexit() handler will run on
+ unload of libcrypto (if it has been dynamically loaded)
+ rather than at process exit. This option can be used to stop
+ OpenSSL from attempting to stay in memory until the process
+ exits. This could lead to crashes if either libcrypto or
+ libssl have already been unloaded at the point
+ that the atexit handler is invoked, e.g. on a platform which
+ calls atexit() on unload of the library, and libssl is
+ unloaded before libcrypto then a crash is likely to happen.
+ Applications can suppress running of the atexit() handler at
+ run time by using the OPENSSL_INIT_NO_ATEXIT option to
+ OPENSSL_init_crypto(). See the man page for it for further
+ details.
+
+ no-posix-io
+ Don't use POSIX IO capabilities.
+
+ no-psk
+ Don't build support for Pre-Shared Key based ciphersuites.
+
+ no-rdrand
+ Don't use hardware RDRAND capabilities.
+
+ no-rfc3779
+ Don't build support for RFC3779 ("X.509 Extensions for IP
+ Addresses and AS Identifiers")
+
+ sctp
+ Build support for SCTP
+
+ no-shared
+ Do not create shared libraries, only static ones. See "Note
+ on shared libraries" below.
+
+ no-sock
+ Don't build support for socket BIOs
+
+ no-srp
+ Don't build support for SRP or SRP based ciphersuites.
+
+ no-srtp
+ Don't build SRTP support
+
+ no-sse2
+ Exclude SSE2 code paths from 32-bit x86 assembly modules.
+ Normally SSE2 extension is detected at run-time, but the
+ decision whether or not the machine code will be executed
+ is taken solely on CPU capability vector. This means that
+ if you happen to run OS kernel which does not support SSE2
+ extension on Intel P4 processor, then your application
+ might be exposed to "illegal instruction" exception.
+ There might be a way to enable support in kernel, e.g.
+ FreeBSD kernel can be compiled with CPU_ENABLE_SSE, and
+ there is a way to disengage SSE2 code paths upon application
+ start-up, but if you aim for wider "audience" running
+ such kernel, consider no-sse2. Both the 386 and
+ no-asm options imply no-sse2.
+
+ enable-ssl-trace
+ Build with the SSL Trace capabilities (adds the "-trace"
+ option to s_client and s_server).
+
+ no-static-engine
+ Don't build the statically linked engines. This only
+ has an impact when not built "shared".
+
+ no-stdio
+ Don't use anything from the C header file "stdio.h" that
+ makes use of the "FILE" type. Only libcrypto and libssl can
+ be built in this way. Using this option will suppress
+ building the command line applications. Additionally since
+ the OpenSSL tests also use the command line applications the
+ tests will also be skipped.
+
+ no-tests
+ Don't build test programs or run any test.
+
+ no-threads
+ Don't try to build with support for multi-threaded
+ applications.
+
+ threads
+ Build with support for multi-threaded applications. Most
+ platforms will enable this by default. However if on a
+ platform where this is not the case then this will usually
+ require additional system-dependent options! See "Note on
+ multi-threading" below.
+
+ enable-trace
+ Build with support for the integrated tracing api. See manual pages
+ OSSL_trace_set_channel(3) and OSSL_trace_enabled(3) for details.
+
+ no-ts
+ Don't build Time Stamping Authority support.
+
+ enable-ubsan
+ Build with the Undefined Behaviour sanitiser. This is a
+ developer option only. It may not work on all platforms and
+ should never be used in production environments. It will only
+ work when used with gcc or clang and should be used in
+ conjunction with the "-DPEDANTIC" option (or the
+ --strict-warnings option).
+
+ no-ui
+ Don't build with the "UI" capability (i.e. the set of
+ features enabling text based prompts).
+
+ enable-unit-test
+ Enable additional unit test APIs. This should not typically
+ be used in production deployments.
+
+ no-uplink
+ Don't build support for UPLINK interface.
+
+ enable-weak-ssl-ciphers
+ Build support for SSL/TLS ciphers that are considered "weak"
+ (e.g. RC4 based ciphersuites).
+
+ zlib
+ Build with support for zlib compression/decompression.
+
+ zlib-dynamic
+ Like "zlib", but has OpenSSL load the zlib library
+ dynamically when needed. This is only supported on systems
+ where loading of shared libraries is supported.
+
+ 386
+ In 32-bit x86 builds, when generating assembly modules,
+ use the 80386 instruction set only (the default x86 code
+ is more efficient, but requires at least a 486). Note:
+ This doesn't affect code generated by compiler, you're
+ likely to complement configuration command line with
+ suitable compiler-specific option.
+
+ no-<prot>
+ Don't build support for negotiating the specified SSL/TLS
+ protocol (one of ssl, ssl3, tls, tls1, tls1_1, tls1_2,
+ tls1_3, dtls, dtls1 or dtls1_2). If "no-tls" is selected then
+ all of tls1, tls1_1, tls1_2 and tls1_3 are disabled.
+ Similarly "no-dtls" will disable dtls1 and dtls1_2. The
+ "no-ssl" option is synonymous with "no-ssl3". Note this only
+ affects version negotiation. OpenSSL will still provide the
+ methods for applications to explicitly select the individual
+ protocol versions.
+
+ no-<prot>-method
+ As for no-<prot> but in addition do not build the methods for
+ applications to explicitly select individual protocol
+ versions. Note that there is no "no-tls1_3-method" option
+ because there is no application method for TLSv1.3. Using
+ individual protocol methods directly is deprecated.
+ Applications should use TLS_method() instead.
+
+ enable-<alg>
+ Build with support for the specified algorithm, where <alg>
+ is one of: md2 or rc5.
+
+ no-<alg>
+ Build without support for the specified algorithm, where
+ <alg> is one of: aria, bf, blake2, camellia, cast, chacha,
+ cmac, des, dh, dsa, ecdh, ecdsa, idea, md4, mdc2, ocb,
+ poly1305, rc2, rc4, rmd160, scrypt, seed, siphash, siv, sm2,
+ sm3, sm4 or whirlpool. The "ripemd" algorithm is deprecated
+ and if used is synonymous with rmd160.
+
+ -Dxxx, -Ixxx, -Wp, -lxxx, -Lxxx, -Wl, -rpath, -R, -framework, -static
+ These system specific options will be recognised and
+ passed through to the compiler to allow you to define
+ preprocessor symbols, specify additional libraries, library
+ directories or other compiler options. It might be worth
+ noting that some compilers generate code specifically for
+ processor the compiler currently executes on. This is not
+ necessarily what you might have in mind, since it might be
+ unsuitable for execution on other, typically older,
+ processor. Consult your compiler documentation.
+
+ Take note of the VAR=value documentation below and how
+ these flags interact with those variables.
+
+ -xxx, +xxx, /xxx
+ Additional options that are not otherwise recognised are
+ passed through as they are to the compiler as well.
+ Unix-style options beginning with a '-' or '+' and
+ Windows-style options beginning with a '/' are recognized.
+ Again, consult your compiler documentation.
+
+ If the option contains arguments separated by spaces,
+ then the URL-style notation %20 can be used for the space
+ character in order to avoid having to quote the option.
+ For example, -opt%20arg gets expanded to -opt arg.
+ In fact, any ASCII character can be encoded as %xx using its
+ hexadecimal encoding.
+
+ Take note of the VAR=value documentation below and how
+ these flags interact with those variables.
+
+ VAR=value
+ Assignment of environment variable for Configure. These
+ work just like normal environment variable assignments,
+ but are supported on all platforms and are confined to
+ the configuration scripts only. These assignments override
+ the corresponding value in the inherited environment, if
+ there is one.
+
+ The following variables are used as "make variables" and
+ can be used as an alternative to giving preprocessor,
+ compiler and linker options directly as configuration.
+ The following variables are supported:
+
+ AR The static library archiver.
+ ARFLAGS Flags for the static library archiver.
+ AS The assembler compiler.
+ ASFLAGS Flags for the assembler compiler.
+ CC The C compiler.
+ CFLAGS Flags for the C compiler.
+ CXX The C++ compiler.
+ CXXFLAGS Flags for the C++ compiler.
+ CPP The C/C++ preprocessor.
+ CPPFLAGS Flags for the C/C++ preprocessor.
+ CPPDEFINES List of CPP macro definitions, separated
+ by a platform specific character (':' or
+ space for Unix, ';' for Windows, ',' for
+ VMS). This can be used instead of using
+ -D (or what corresponds to that on your
+ compiler) in CPPFLAGS.
+ CPPINCLUDES List of CPP inclusion directories, separated
+ the same way as for CPPDEFINES. This can
+ be used instead of -I (or what corresponds
+ to that on your compiler) in CPPFLAGS.
+ HASHBANGPERL Perl invocation to be inserted after '#!'
+ in public perl scripts (only relevant on
+ Unix).
+ LD The program linker (not used on Unix, $(CC)
+ is used there).
+ LDFLAGS Flags for the shared library, DSO and
+ program linker.
+ LDLIBS Extra libraries to use when linking.
+ Takes the form of a space separated list
+ of library specifications on Unix and
+ Windows, and as a comma separated list of
+ libraries on VMS.
+ RANLIB The library archive indexer.
+ RC The Windows resource compiler.
+ RCFLAGS Flags for the Windows resource compiler.
+ RM The command to remove files and directories.
+
+ These cannot be mixed with compiling / linking flags given
+ on the command line. In other words, something like this
+ isn't permitted.
+
+ ./config -DFOO CPPFLAGS=-DBAR -DCOOKIE
+
+ Backward compatibility note:
+
+ To be compatible with older configuration scripts, the
+ environment variables are ignored if compiling / linking
+ flags are given on the command line, except for these:
+
+ AR, CC, CXX, CROSS_COMPILE, HASHBANGPERL, PERL, RANLIB, RC
+ and WINDRES
+
+ For example, the following command will not see -DBAR:
+
+ CPPFLAGS=-DBAR ./config -DCOOKIE
+
+ However, the following will see both set variables:
+
+ CC=gcc CROSS_COMPILE=x86_64-w64-mingw32- \
+ ./config -DCOOKIE
+
+ If CC is set, it is advisable to also set CXX to ensure
+ both C and C++ compilers are in the same "family". This
+ becomes relevant with 'enable-external-tests' and
+ 'enable-buildtest-c++'.
+
+ reconf
+ reconfigure
+ Reconfigure from earlier data. This fetches the previous
+ command line options and environment from data saved in
+ "configdata.pm", and runs the configuration process again,
+ using these options and environment.
+ Note: NO other option is permitted together with "reconf".
+ This means that you also MUST use "./Configure" (or
+ what corresponds to that on non-Unix platforms) directly
+ to invoke this option.
+ Note: The original configuration saves away values for ALL
+ environment variables that were used, and if they weren't
+ defined, they are still saved away with information that
+ they weren't originally defined. This information takes
+ precedence over environment variables that are defined
+ when reconfiguring.
+
+ Displaying configuration data
+ -----------------------------
+
+ The configuration script itself will say very little, and finishes by
+ creating "configdata.pm". This perl module can be loaded by other scripts
+ to find all the configuration data, and it can also be used as a script to
+ display all sorts of configuration data in a human readable form.
+
+ For more information, please do:
+
+ $ ./configdata.pm --help # Unix
+
+ or
+
+ $ perl configdata.pm --help # Windows and VMS
+
+ Installation in Detail
+ ----------------------
+
+ 1a. Configure OpenSSL for your operation system automatically:
+
+ NOTE: This is not available on Windows.
+
+ $ ./config [[ options ]] # Unix
+
+ or
+
+ $ @config [[ options ]] ! OpenVMS
+
+ For the remainder of this text, the Unix form will be used in all
+ examples, please use the appropriate form for your platform.
+
+ This guesses at your operating system (and compiler, if necessary) and
+ configures OpenSSL based on this guess. Run ./config -t to see
+ if it guessed correctly. If you want to use a different compiler, you
+ are cross-compiling for another platform, or the ./config guess was
+ wrong for other reasons, go to step 1b. Otherwise go to step 2.
+
+ On some systems, you can include debugging information as follows:
+
+ $ ./config -d [[ options ]]
+
+ 1b. Configure OpenSSL for your operating system manually
+
+ OpenSSL knows about a range of different operating system, hardware and
+ compiler combinations. To see the ones it knows about, run
+
+ $ ./Configure # Unix
+
+ or
+
+ $ perl Configure # All other platforms
+
+ For the remainder of this text, the Unix form will be used in all
+ examples, please use the appropriate form for your platform.
+
+ Pick a suitable name from the list that matches your system. For most
+ operating systems there is a choice between using "cc" or "gcc". When
+ you have identified your system (and if necessary compiler) use this name
+ as the argument to Configure. For example, a "linux-elf" user would
+ run:
+
+ $ ./Configure linux-elf [[ options ]]
+
+ If your system isn't listed, you will have to create a configuration
+ file named Configurations/{{ something }}.conf and add the correct
+ configuration for your system. See the available configs as examples
+ and read Con
