To install OpenSSL, you will need:

+ For additional platform specific requirements, solutions to specific
+ issues and other details, please read one of these:
* NOTES.VMS (OpenVMS)
* NOTES.WIN (any supported Windows)
* NOTES.DJGPP (DOS platform with DJGPP)
+ 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
-----------
$ nmake test
$ nmake install

This will build and install OpenSSL in the default location, which is:
--cross-compile-prefix=PREFIX
The PREFIX to include in front of commands for your
- toolchain. For example to build the mingw64 target on Linux
- you might use "--cross-compile-prefix=x86_64-w64-mingw32-".
- If the compiler is gcc, then this will attempt to run
- x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc when compiling.
+ 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/10-main.cf
+ sections. 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.

+
CC

compiler for your platform but this choice can be overridden

PERL

RC
The name of the rc executable to use. The default will be as
automatically generated files; add new error codes or add new

+ TESTS in Detail
+ ---------------
+
+ The make variable TESTS supports a versatile set of space separated tokens
+ with which you can specify a set of tests to be performed. With a "current
+ set of tests" in mind, initially being empty, here are the possible tokens:
+
+ alltests The current set of tests becomes the whole set of available
+ tests (as listed when you do 'make list-tests' or similar).
+ xxx Adds the test 'xxx' to the current set of tests.
+ -xxx Removes 'xxx' from the current set of tests. If this is the
+ first token in the list, the current set of tests is first
+ assigned the whole set of available tests, effectively making
+ this token equivalent to TESTS="alltests -xxx"
+
+ Also, all tokens except for "alltests" may have wildcards, such as *.
+ (on Unix and Windows, BSD style wildcards are supported, while on VMS,
+ it's VMS style wildcards)
+
+ Example: All tests except for the fuzz tests:
+
+ $ make TESTS=-test_fuzz test
+
+ or (if you want to be explicit)
+
+ $ make TESTS='alltests -test_fuzz' test
+
+ Example: All tests that have a name starting with "test_ssl" but not those
+ starting with "test_ssl_":
+
+ $ make TESTS='test_ssl* -test_ssl_*' test
+
Note on multi-threading
-----------------------
supported. If your platform does not provide pthreads or Windows threads then
you should Configure with the "no-threads" option.
- Note on shared libraries
- ------------------------
+ Notes on shared libraries
+ -------------------------
For most systems the OpenSSL Configure script knows what is needed to
build shared libraries for libcrypto and libssl. On these systems
where OpenSSL does not know how to build shared libraries the "no-shared"
option will be forced and only static libraries will be created.
+ Shared libraries are named a little differently on different platforms.
+ One way or another, they all have the major OpenSSL version number as
+ part of the file name, i.e. for OpenSSL 1.1.x, 1.1 is somehow part of
+ the name.
+
+ On most POSIXly platforms, shared libraries are named libcrypto.so.1.1
+ and libssl.so.1.1.
+
+ on Cygwin, shared libraries are named cygcrypto-1.1.dll and cygssl-1.1.dll
+ with import libraries libcrypto.dll.a and libssl.dll.a.
+
+ On Windows build with MSVC or using MingW, shared libraries are named
+ libcrypto-1_1.dll and libssl-1_1.dll for 32-bit Windows, libcrypto-1_1-x64.dll
+ and libssl-1_1-x64.dll for 64-bit x86_64 Windows, and libcrypto-1_1-ia64.dll
+ and libssl-1_1-ia64.dll for IA64 Windows. With MSVC, the import libraries
+ are named libcrypto.lib and libssl.lib, while with MingW, they are named
+ libcrypto.dll.a and libssl.dll.a.
+
+ On VMS, shareable images (VMS speak for shared libraries) are named
+ ossl$libcrypto0101_shr.exe and ossl$libssl0101_shr.exe. However, when
+ OpenSSL is specifically built for 32-bit pointers, the shareable images
+ are named ossl$libcrypto0101_shr32.exe and ossl$libssl0101_shr32.exe
+ instead, and when built for 64-bit pointers, they are named
+ ossl$libcrypto0101_shr64.exe and ossl$libssl0101_shr64.exe.
+
