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 Configurations/README and Configurations/README.design for + more information. + + The generic configurations "cc" or "gcc" should usually work on 32 bit + Unix-like systems. + + Configure creates a build file ("Makefile" on Unix, "makefile" on Windows + and "descrip.mms" on OpenVMS) from a suitable template in Configurations, + and defines various macros in include/openssl/configuration.h (generated + from include/openssl/configuration.h.in). + + 1c. Configure OpenSSL for building outside of the source tree. + + OpenSSL can be configured to build in a build directory separate from + the directory with the source code. It's done by placing yourself in + some other directory and invoking the configuration commands from + there. + + Unix example: + + $ mkdir /var/tmp/openssl-build + $ cd /var/tmp/openssl-build + $ /PATH/TO/OPENSSL/SOURCE/config [[ options ]] + + or + + $ /PATH/TO/OPENSSL/SOURCE/Configure {{ target }} [[ options ]] + + OpenVMS |
