If you want to install it anywhere else, - run config like this: - - $ ./config --prefix=/usr/local --openssldir=/usr/local/openssl - - - Configuration Options - --------------------- - - There are several options to ./config (or ./Configure) to customize - the build: - - --prefix=DIR Install in DIR/bin, DIR/lib, DIR/include/openssl. - Configuration files used by OpenSSL will be in DIR/ssl - or the directory specified by --openssldir. - - --openssldir=DIR Directory for OpenSSL files. If no prefix is specified, - the library files and binaries are also installed there. - - rsaref Build with RSADSI's RSAREF toolkit (this assumes that - librsaref.a is in the library search path). - - no-threads Don't try to build with support for multi-threaded - applications. - - threads Build with support for multi-threaded applications. - This will usually require additional system-dependent options! - See "Note on multi-threading" below. - - no-shared Don't try to create shared libraries. - - shared In addition to the usual static libraries, create shared - libraries on platforms where it's supported. See "Note on - shared libraries" below. - - no-asm Do not use assembler code. - - 386 Use the 80386 instruction set only (the default x86 code is - more efficient, but requires at least a 486). - - no-<cipher> Build without the specified cipher (bf, cast, des, dh, dsa, - hmac, md2, md5, mdc2, rc2, rc4, rc5, rsa, sha). - The crypto/<cipher> directory can be removed after running - "make depend". - - -Dxxx, -lxxx, -Lxxx, -fxxx, -Kxxx These system specific options will - be passed through to the compiler to allow you to - define preprocessor symbols, specify additional libraries, - library directories or other compiler options. - - - Installation in Detail - ---------------------- - - 1a. Configure OpenSSL for your operation system automatically: - - $ ./config [options] - - 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 - - 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 is not available, you will have to edit the Configure - program and add the correct configuration for your system. The - generic configurations "cc" or "gcc" should usually work on 32 bit - systems. - - Configure creates the file Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org and - defines various macros in crypto/opensslconf.h (generated from - crypto/opensslconf.h.in). - - 2. Build OpenSSL by running: - - $ make - - This will build the OpenSSL libraries (libcrypto.a and libssl.a) and the - OpenSSL binary ("openssl"). The libraries will be built in the top-level - directory, and the binary will be in the "apps" directory. - - If "make" fails, look at the output. There may be reasons for - the failure that isn't a problem in OpenSSL itself (like missing - standard headers). If it is a problem with OpenSSL itself, please - report the problem to <openssl-bugs@openssl.org> (note that your - message will be forwarded to a public mailing list). Include the - output of "make report" in your message. - - [If you encounter assembler error messages, try the "no-asm" - configuration option as an immediate fix.] - - Compiling parts of OpenSSL with gcc and others with the system - compiler will result in unresolved symbols on some systems. - - 3. After a successful build, the libraries should be tested. Run: - - $ make test - - If a test fails, look at the output. There may be reasons for - the failure that isn't a problem in OpenSSL itself (like a missing - or malfunctioning bc). If it is a problem with OpenSSL itself, - try removing any compiler optimization flags from the CFLAGS line - in Makefile.ssl and run "make clean; make". Please send a bug - report to <openssl-bugs@openssl.org>, including the output of - "make report". - - 4. If everything tests ok, install OpenSSL with - - $ make install - - This will create the installation directory (if it does not exist) and - then the following subdirectories: - - certs Initially empty, this is the default location - for certificate files. - man/man1 Manual pages for the 'openssl' command line tool - man/man3 Manual pages for the libraries (very incomplete) - misc Various scripts. - private Initially empty, this is the default location - for private key files. - - If you didn't choose a different installation prefix, the - following additional subdirectories will be created: - - bin Contains the openssl binary and a few other - utility programs. - include/openssl Contains the header files needed if you want to - compile programs with libcrypto or libssl. - lib Contains the OpenSSL library files themselves. - - Package builders who want to configure the library for standard - locations, but have the package installed somewhere else so that - it can easily be packaged, can use - - $ make INSTALL_PREFIX=/tmp/package-root install - - (or specify "--install_prefix=/tmp/package-root" as a configure - option). The specified prefix will be prepended to all - installation target filenames. - - - NOTE: The header files used to reside directly in the include - directory, but have now been moved to include/openssl so that - OpenSSL can co-exist with other libraries which use some of the - same filenames. This means that applications that use OpenSSL - should now use C preprocessor directives of the form - - #include <openssl/ssl.h> - - instead of "#include <ssl.h>", which was used with library versions - up to OpenSSL 0.9.2b. - - If you install a new version of OpenSSL over an old library version, - you should delete the old header files in the include directory. - - Compatibility issues: - - * COMPILING existing applications - - To compile an application that uses old filenames -- e.g. - "#include <ssl.h>" --, it will usually be enough to find - the CFLAGS definition in the application's Makefile and - add a C option such as - - -I/usr/local/ssl/include/openssl - - to it. - - But don't delete the existing -I option that points to - the ..../include directory! Otherwise, OpenSSL header files - could not #include each other. - - * WRITING applications - - To write an application that is able to handle both the new - and the old directory layout, so that it can still be compiled - with library versions up to OpenSSL 0.9.2b without bothering - the user, you can proceed as follows: - - - Always use the new filename of OpenSSL header files, - e.g. #include <openssl/ssl.h>. - - - Create a directory "incl" that contains only a symbolic - link named "openssl", which points to the "include" directory - of OpenSSL. - For example, your application's Makefile might contain the - following rule, if OPENSSLDIR is a pathname (absolute or - relative) of the directory where OpenSSL resides: - - incl/openssl: - -mkdir incl - cd $(OPENSSLDIR) # Check whether the directory really exists - -ln -s `cd $(OPENSSLDIR); pwd`/include incl/openssl - - You will have to add "incl/openssl" to the dependencies - of those C files that include some OpenSSL header file. - - - Add "-Iincl" to your CFLAGS. - - With these additions, the OpenSSL header files will be available - under both name variants if an old library version is used: - Your application can reach them under names like <openssl/foo.h>, - while the header files still are able to #include each other - with names of the form <foo.h>. - - - Note on multi-threading - ----------------------- - - For some systems, the OpenSSL Configure script knows what compiler options - are needed to generate a library that is suitable for multi-threaded - applications. On these systems, support for multi-threading is enabled - by default; use the "no-threads" option to disable (this should never be - necessary). - - On other systems, to enable support for multi-threading, you will have - to specify at least two options: "threads", and a system-dependent option. - (The latter is "-D_REENTRANT" on various systems.) The default in this - case, obviously, is not to include support for multi-threading (but - you can still use "no-threads" to suppress an annoying warning message - from the Configure script.) - - - Note on shared libraries - ------------------------ - - For some systems, the OpenSSL Configure script knows what is needed to - build shared libraries for libcrypto and libssl. On these systems, - the shared libraries are currently not created by default, but giving - the option "shared" will get them created. This method supports Makefile - targets for shared library creation, like linux-shared. Those targets - can currently be used on their own just as well, but this is expected - to change in future versions of OpenSSL. |
