OPENSSL INSTALLATION
--------------------
- [This document describes installation on all supported operating
- systems (currently mainly the Linux/Unix family, OpenVMS and
- Windows)]
+ This document describes installation on all supported operating
+ systems (the Linux/Unix family, OpenVMS and Windows)
To install OpenSSL, you will need:
header files
* a supported operating system
- For additional platform specific requirements and other details,
- please read one of these:
+ 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
- [If any of these steps fails, see section Installation in Detail below.]
+ If any of these steps fails, see section Installation in Detail below.
This will build and install OpenSSL in the default location, which is:
NOTE: This is not available on Windows.
- $ ./config [options] # Unix
+ $ ./config [[ options ]] # Unix
or
- $ @config [options] ! OpenVMS
+ $ @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.
On some systems, you can include debugging information as follows:
- $ ./config -d [options]
+ $ ./config -d [[ options ]]
1b. Configure OpenSSL for your operating system manually
as the argument to Configure. For example, a "linux-elf" user would
run:
- $ ./Configure linux-elf [options]
+ $ ./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
+ 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.
$ mkdir /var/tmp/openssl-build
$ cd /var/tmp/openssl-build
- $ /PATH/TO/OPENSSL/SOURCE/config [options]
+ $ /PATH/TO/OPENSSL/SOURCE/config [[ options ]]
or
- $ /PATH/TO/OPENSSL/SOURCE/Configure [target] [options]
+ $ /PATH/TO/OPENSSL/SOURCE/Configure {{ target }} [[ options ]]
OpenVMS example:
$ set default sys$login:
$ create/dir [.tmp.openssl-build]
$ set default [.tmp.openssl-build]
- $ @[PATH.TO.OPENSSL.SOURCE]config {options}
+ $ @[PATH.TO.OPENSSL.SOURCE]config [[ options ]]
or
- $ @[PATH.TO.OPENSSL.SOURCE]Configure {target} {options}
+ $ @[PATH.TO.OPENSSL.SOURCE]Configure {{ target }} [[ options ]]
Windows example:
$ C:
$ mkdir \temp-openssl
$ cd \temp-openssl
- $ perl d:\PATH\TO\OPENSSL\SOURCE\Configure {target} {options}
+ $ perl d:\PATH\TO\OPENSSL\SOURCE\Configure {{ target }} [[ options ]]
Paths can be relative just as well as absolute. Configure will
do its best to translate them to relative paths whenever possible.
