This is the default choice. + $ ./config --prefix=/opt/openssl --openssldir=/usr/local/ssl - no-shared Don't try to create shared libraries. + On OpenVMS: - shared In addition to the usual static libraries, create shared - libraries on platforms where it's supported. See "Note on - shared libraries" below. + $ @config --prefix=PROGRAM:[INSTALLS] --openssldir=SYS$MANAGER:[OPENSSL] - no-asm Do not use assembler code. + (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) - 386 Use the 80386 instruction set only (the default x86 code is - more efficient, but requires at least a 486). - no- Build without the specified cipher (bf, cast, des, dh, dsa, - hmac, md2, md5, mdc2, rc2, rc4, rc5, rsa, sha). - The crypto/ directory can be removed after running - "make depend". + Configuration Options + --------------------- - -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. + 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 + Don't build with support for deprecated APIs below the + specified version number. For example "--api=1.1.0" will + remove support for all APIS that were deprecated in OpenSSL + version 1.1.0 or below. + + --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/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. + + --debug + Build OpenSSL with debugging symbols. + + --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. + + no-afalgeng + Don't build the AFALG engine. This option will be forced if + on a platform that does not support AFALG. + + 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. On some platforms a small amount + of assembler code may still be used. + + 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-capieng + Don't build the CAPI engine. This option will be forced if + on a platform that does not support CAPI. + + 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 + Build support for debugging memory allocated via + OPENSSL_malloc() or OPENSSL_zalloc(). + + enable-crypto-mdebug-backtrace + As for crypto-mdebug, but additionally provide backtrace + information for allocated memory. + TO BE USED WITH CARE: this uses GNU C functionality, and + is therefore not usable for non-GNU config targets. If + your build complains about the use of '-rdynamic' or the + lack of header file execinfo.h, this option is not for you. + ALSO NOTE that even though execinfo.h is available on your + system (through Gnulib), the functions might just be stubs + that do nothing. + + no-ct + Don't build support for Certificate Transparency. + + no-deprecated + Don't build with support for any deprecated APIs. This is the + same as using "--api" and supplying the latest version + number. + + no-dgram + Don't build support for datagram based BIOs.

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). + + 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-hw-padlock + Don't build the padlock engine. + + no-makedepend + Don't generate dependencies. + + 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-pic + Don't build with support for Position Independent Code. + + 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.

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.

Typically these should be defined prior to running + config or Configure. Not all environment variables are relevant to all + platforms. + + AR + The name of the ar executable to use. + + BUILDFILE + Use a different build file name than the platform default + ("Makefile" on Unixly platforms, "makefile" on native Windows, + "descrip.mms" on OpenVMS). This requires that there is a + corresponding build file template. See Configurations/README + for further information. + + CC + The compiler to use. Configure will attempt to pick a default + compiler for your platform but this choice can be overridden + using this variable. Set it to the compiler executable you wish + to use, e.g. "gcc" or "clang". + + CROSS_COMPILE + This environment variable has the same meaning as for the + "--cross-compile-prefix" Configure flag described above. If both + are set then the Configure flag takes precedence. + + NM + The name of the nm executable to use. + + OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR + OpenSSL comes with a database of information about how it + should be built on different platforms as well as build file + templates for those platforms. The database is comprised of + ".conf" files in the Configurations directory. The build + file templates reside there as well as ".tmpl" files. See the + file Configurations/README for further information about the + format of ".conf" files as well as information on the ".tmpl" + files. + In addition to the standard ".conf" and ".tmpl" files, it is + possible to create your own ".conf" and ".tmpl" files and store + them locally, outside the OpenSSL source tree. This environment + variable can be set to the directory where these files are held + and will be considered by Configure before it looks in the + standard directories. + + PERL + The name of the Perl executable to use when building OpenSSL. + This variable is used in config script only. Configure on the + other hand imposes the interpreter by which it itself was + executed on the whole build procedure. + + HASHBANGPERL + The command string for the Perl executable to insert in the + #! line of perl scripts that will be publically installed. + Default: /usr/bin/env perl + Note: the value of this variable is added to the same scripts + on all platforms, but it's only relevant on Unix-like platforms. + + RC + The name of the rc executable to use.
