INSTALLATION ON THE UNIX PLATFORM
---------------------------------
- [For instructions for compiling OpenSSL on Windows systems, see INSTALL.W32].
+ [Installation on Windows, OpenVMS and MacOS (before MacOS X) is described
+ in INSTALL.W32, INSTALL.VMS and INSTALL.MacOS.]
To install OpenSSL, you will need:
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
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 it did not get it correct or you want to
- use a different compiler then go to step 1b. Otherwise go to step 2.
+ 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:
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.
+ 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
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, please report the problem to <openssl-bugs@openssl.org>.
- Include the output of "./config -t" and the OpenSSL version
- number in your message.
+ If "make" fails, 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:
If a test fails, 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 "openssl version -a" and of the failed test.
+ 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 create the following subdirectories:
+ 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 chose a different installation prefix, lib also contains
- the library files themselves, and the following additional subdirectories
- will be created:
+ 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
necessary).
On other systems, to enable support for multi-threading, you will have
- to specifiy at least two options: "threads", and a system-dependent option.
+ 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.)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-The orignal Unix build instructions from SSLeay follow.
-Note: some of this may be out of date and no longer applicable
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-# When bringing the SSLeay distribution back from the evil intel world
-# of Windows NT, do the following to make it nice again under unix :-)
-# You don't normally need to run this.
-sh util/fixNT.sh # This only works for NT now - eay - 21-Jun-1996
-
-# If you have perl, and it is not in /usr/local/bin, you can run
-perl util/perlpath.pl /new/path
-# and this will fix the paths in all the scripts. DO NOT put
-# /new/path/perl, just /new/path. The build
-# environment always run scripts as 'perl perlscript.pl' but some of the
-# 'applications' are easier to usr with the path fixed.
-
-# Edit crypto/cryptlib.h, tools/c_rehash, and Makefile.ssl
-# to set the install locations if you don't like
-# the default location of /usr/local/ssl
-# Do this by running
-perl util/ssldir.pl /new/ssl/home
-# if you have perl, or by hand if not.
-
-# If things have been stuffed up with the sym links, run
-make -f Makefile.ssl links
-# This will re-populate lib/include with symlinks and for each
-# directory, link Makefile to Makefile.ssl
-
-# Setup the machine dependent stuff for the top level makefile
-# and some select .h files
-# If you don't have perl, this will bomb, in which case just edit the
-# top level Makefile.ssl
-./Configure 'system type'
-
-# The 'Configure' command contains default configuration parameters
-# for lots of machines. Configure edits 5 lines in the top level Makefile
-# It modifies the following values in the following files
-Makefile.ssl CC CFLAG EX_LIBS BN_MULW
-crypto/des/des.h DES_LONG
-crypto/des/des_locl.h DES_PTR
-crypto/md2/md2.h MD2_INT
-crypto/rc4/rc4.h RC4_INT
-crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c RC4_INDEX
-crypto/rc2/rc2.h RC2_INT
-crypto/bf/bf_locl.h BF_INT
-crypto/idea/idea.h IDEA_INT
-crypto/bn/bn.h BN_LLONG (and defines one of SIXTY_FOUR_BIT,
- SIXTY_FOUR_BIT_LONG, THIRTY_TWO_BIT,
- SIXTEEN_BIT or EIGHT_BIT)
-Please remember that all these files are actually copies of the file with
-a .org extention. So if you change crypto/des/des.h, the next time
-you run Configure, it will be runover by a 'configured' version of
-crypto/des/des.org. So to make the changer the default, change the .org
-files. The reason these files have to be edited is because most of
-these modifications change the size of fundamental data types.
-While in theory this stuff is optional, it often makes a big
-difference in performance and when using assember, it is importaint
-for the 'Bignum bits' match those required by the assember code.
-A warning for people using gcc with sparc cpu's. Gcc needs the -mv8
-flag to use the hardware multiply instruction which was not present in
-earlier versions of the sparc CPU. I define it by default. If you
-have an old sparc, and it crashes, try rebuilding with this flag
-removed. I am leaving this flag on by default because it makes
-things run 4 times faster :-)
-
-# clean out all the old stuff
-make clean
-
-# Do a make depend only if you have the makedepend command installed
-# This is not needed but it does make things nice when developing.
-make depend
-
-# make should build everything
-make
-
-# fix up the demo certificate hash directory if it has been stuffed up.
-make rehash
-
-# test everything
-make test
-
-# install the lot
-make install
-
-# It is worth noting that all the applications are built into the one
-# program, ssleay, which is then has links from the other programs
-# names to it.
-# The applicatons can be built by themselves, just don't define the
-# 'MONOLITH' flag. So to build the 'enc' program stand alone,
-gcc -O2 -Iinclude apps/enc.c apps/apps.c libcrypto.a
-
-# Other useful make options are
-make makefile.one
-# which generate a 'makefile.one' file which will build the complete
-# SSLeay distribution with temp. files in './tmp' and 'installable' files
-# in './out'
-
-# Have a look at running
-perl util/mk1mf.pl help
-# this can be used to generate a single makefile and is about the only
-# way to generate makefiles for windows.
-
-# There is actually a final way of building SSLeay.
-gcc -O2 -c -Icrypto -Iinclude crypto/crypto.c
-gcc -O2 -c -Issl -Iinclude ssl/ssl.c
-# and you now have the 2 libraries as single object files :-).
-# If you want to use the assember code for your particular platform
-# (DEC alpha/x86 are the main ones, the other assember is just the
-# output from gcc) you will need to link the assember with the above generated
-# object file and also do the above compile as
-gcc -O2 -DBN_ASM -c -Icrypto -Iinclude crypto/crypto.c
-
-This last option is probably the best way to go when porting to another
-platform or building shared libraries. It is not good for development so
-I don't normally use it.
-
-To build shared libararies under unix, have a look in shlib, basically
-you are on your own, but it is quite easy and all you have to do
-is compile 2 (or 3) files.
-
-For mult-threading, have a read of doc/threads.doc. Again it is quite
-easy and normally only requires some extra callbacks to be defined
-by the application.
-The examples for solaris and windows NT/95 are in the mt directory.
-
-have fun

-IRIX 5.x will build as a 32 bit system with mips1 assember.
-IRIX 6.x will build as a 64 bit system with mips3 assember. It conforms
-to n32 standards. In theory you can compile the 64 bit assember under
-IRIX 5.x but you will have to have the correct system software installed.
