 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
 -----------
76

77
 If you want to just get on with it, do:
78

79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91
  on Unix:

    $ ./config
    $ make
    $ make test
    $ make install

  on OpenVMS:

    $ @config
    $ mms
    $ mms test
    $ mms install
92

93 94 95 96 97
  on Windows (only pick one of the targets for configuration):

    $ perl Configure { VC-WIN32 | VC-WIN64A | VC-WIN64I | VC-CE }
    $ nmake
    $ nmake test
98
    $ nmake install
99

100
 If any of these steps fails, see section Installation in Detail below.

 This will build and install OpenSSL in the default location, which is:

  Unix:    normal installation directories under /usr/local
  OpenVMS: SYS$COMMON:[OPENSSL-'version'...], where 'version' is the
106 107
           OpenSSL version number with underscores instead of periods.
  Windows: C:\Program Files\OpenSSL or C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenSSL
108 109

 If you want to install it anywhere else, run config like this:
110

111 112 113 114 115 116 117
  On Unix:

    $ ./config --prefix=/opt/openssl --openssldir=/usr/local/ssl

  On OpenVMS:

    $ @config --prefix=PROGRAM:[INSTALLS] --openssldir=SYS$MANAGER:[OPENSSL]
118

119 120 121 122 123
 (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)

 Configuration Options
 ---------------------

128
 There are several options to ./config (or ./Configure) to customize
129 130 131
 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
141 142 143 144 145 146 147 148 149 150 151 152 153 154 155 156 157 158 159
                   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.
170

171 172
  --openssldir=DIR
                   Directory for OpenSSL configuration files, and also the
173 174
                   default certificate and key store.  Defaults are:

175
                   Unix:           /usr/local/ssl
176 177
                   Windows:        C:\Program Files\Common Files\SSL

  --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.
216

217 218 219 220
  no-afalgeng
                   Don't build the AFALG engine. This option will be forced if
                   on a platform that does not support AFALG.

223 224 225 226 227
                   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.

228
  no-asm
229 230
                   Do not use assembler code. On some platforms a small amount
                   of assembler code may still be used.
231 232 233

  no-async
                   Do not build support for async operations.
234

235 236
  no-autoalginit
                   Don't automatically load all supported ciphers and digests.
237 238 239 240 241
                   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
242 243
                   EVP_add_digest() if this option is used. This option will
                   force a non-shared build.
244

245 246
  no-autoerrinit
                   Don't automatically load all libcrypto/libssl error strings.
247 248 249 250 251
                   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.


252 253 254
  no-capieng
                   Don't build the CAPI engine. This option will be forced if
                   on a platform that does not support CAPI.
255

256 257
  no-cms
                   Don't build support for CMS features
258

259 260 261 262
  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.
263

264 265 266 267 268 269 270
  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.
271 272 273 274 275 276 277
                   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.
278 279 280 281 282 283 284 285 286 287 288 289 290 291 292 293 294 295 296 297 298 299 300 301 302 303 304 305 306 307 308 309 310 311 312 313 314 315 316 317 318

  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. Selecting this
                   option will also force the disabling of DTLS.

  no-dso
                   Don't build support for loading Dynamic Shared Objects.

  no-dynamic-engine
                   Don't build the dynamically loaded engines. This only has an
                   effect in a "shared" build

  no-ec
                   Don't build support for Elliptic Curves.

  no-ec2m
                   Don't build support for binary Elliptic Curves

  enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128
                   Enable support for optimised implementations of some commonly
                   used NIST elliptic curves. This is only supported on some
                   platforms.

  enable-egd
                   Build support for gathering entropy from EGD (Entropy
                   Gathering Daemon).

  no-engine
                   Don't build support for loading engines.

  no-err
                   Don't compile in any error strings.

319 320 321 322
  enable-external-tests
                   Enable building of integration with external test suites.
                   This is a developer option and may not work on all platforms.
                   The only supported external test suite at the current time is
323 324
                   the BoringSSL test suite. See the file test/README.external
                   for further details.
325

326 327 328 329
  no-filenames
                   Don't compile in filename and line number information (e.g.
                   for errors and memory allocation).

330 331 332 333 334
  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-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

                   Exclude SSE2 code paths from 32-bit x86 assembly modules.
                   Normally SSE2 extension is detected at run-time, but the
                   decision whether or not the machine code will be executed
                   is taken solely on CPU capability vector. 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.

                   building the command line applications. Additionally since

 Installation in Detail
 ----------------------
537

538
 1a. Configure OpenSSL for your operation system automatically:
539

540 541
     NOTE: This is not available on Windows.

542
       $ ./config [[ options ]]                         # Unix
543 544 545

       or

546
       $ @config [[ options ]]                          ! OpenVMS
547 548 549

     For the remainder of this text, the Unix form will be used in all
     examples, please use the appropriate form for your platform.
550

551
     This guesses at your operating system (and compiler, if necessary) and
U
Ulf Möller 已提交
552
     configures OpenSSL based on this guess. Run ./config -t to see
U
Ulf Möller 已提交
553 554 555
     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.
556

     On some systems, you can include debugging information as follows:

561
 1b. Configure OpenSSL for your operating system manually
562

563 564
     OpenSSL knows about a range of different operating system, hardware and
     compiler combinations. To see the ones it knows about, run
565

566 567 568 569 570 571 572 573
       $ ./Configure                                    # Unix

       or

       $ perl Configure                                 # All other platforms

     For the remainder of this text, the Unix form will be used in all
     examples, please use the appropriate form for your platform.
574

575 576 577
     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
578
     as the argument to Configure. For example, a "linux-elf" user would
579
     run:
580

581
       $ ./Configure linux-elf [[ options ]]
582

583
     If your system isn't listed, you will have to create a configuration
584
     file named Configurations/{{ something }}.conf and add the correct
585 586 587
     configuration for your system. See the available configs as examples
     and read Configurations/README and Configurations/README.design for
     more information.
588

589 590 591
     The generic configurations "cc" or "gcc" should usually work on 32 bit
     Unix-like systems.

     Configure creates a build file ("Makefile" on Unix, "makefile" on Windows
     and "descrip.mms" on OpenVMS) from a suitable template in Configurations,
     and defines various macros in include/openssl/opensslconf.h (generated from
     include/openssl/opensslconf.h.in).

 1c. Configure OpenSSL for building outside of the source tree.

     OpenSSL can be configured to build in a build directory separate from
     the directory with the source code.  It's done by placing yourself in
     some other directory and invoking the configuration commands from
     there.

     Unix example:

       $ mkdir /var/tmp/openssl-build
       $ cd /var/tmp/openssl-build
608
       $ /PATH/TO/OPENSSL/SOURCE/config [[ options ]]
609 610 611

       or

612
       $ /PATH/TO/OPENSSL/SOURCE/Configure {{ target }} [[ options ]]
613 614 615 616 617 618

     OpenVMS example:

       $ set default sys$login:
       $ create/dir [.tmp.openssl-build]
       $ set default [.tmp.openssl-build]
619
       $ @[PATH.TO.OPENSSL.SOURCE]config [[ options ]]
620 621 622

       or

623
       $ @[PATH.TO.OPENSSL.SOURCE]Configure {{ target }} [[ options ]]
624

625 626 627 628 629
     Windows example:

       $ C:
       $ mkdir \temp-openssl
       $ cd \temp-openssl
630
       $ perl d:\PATH\TO\OPENSSL\SOURCE\Configure {{ target }} [[ options ]]
631

632 633 634
     Paths can be relative just as well as absolute.  Configure will
     do its best to translate them to relative paths whenever possible.

635
  2. Build OpenSSL by running:
636

637 638
       $ make                                           # Unix
       $ mms                                            ! (or mmk) OpenVMS
639
       $ nmake                                          # Windows
640

641 642 643 644
     This will build the OpenSSL libraries (libcrypto.a and libssl.a on
     Unix, corresponding on other platforms) and the OpenSSL binary
     ("openssl"). The libraries will be built in the top-level directory,
     and the binary will be in the "apps" subdirectory.
645

     If the build fails, look at the output.  There may be reasons
     for the failure that aren't problems in OpenSSL itself (like
     missing standard headers).  If you are having problems you can
     get help by sending an email to the openssl-users email list (see
     https://www.openssl.org/community/mailinglists.html for details). If
     it is a bug with OpenSSL itself, please open an issue on GitHub, at
     https://github.com/openssl/openssl/issues. Please review the existing
     ones first; maybe the bug was already reported or has already been
654
     fixed.

658

659 660 661
     Compiling parts of OpenSSL with gcc and others with the system
     compiler will result in unresolved symbols on some systems.

662
  3. After a successful build, the libraries should be tested. Run:
663

664 665
       $ make test                                      # Unix
       $ mms test                                       ! OpenVMS
666
       $ nmake test                                     # Windows
667

668
     NOTE: you MUST run the tests from an unprivileged account (or
F
FdaSilvaYY 已提交
669
     disable your privileges temporarily if your platform allows it).
670

671 672 673 674 675
     If some tests fail, look at the output.  There may be reasons for
     the failure that isn't a problem in OpenSSL itself (like a
     malfunction with Perl).  You may want increased verbosity, that
     can be accomplished like this:

676
       $ make VERBOSE=1 test                            # Unix
677

678
       $ mms /macro=(VERBOSE=1) test                    ! OpenVMS
679

680
       $ nmake VERBOSE=1 test                           # Windows
681

682 683 684
     If you want to run just one or a few specific tests, you can use
     the make variable TESTS to specify them, like this:

685 686
       $ make TESTS='test_rsa test_dsa' test            # Unix
       $ mms/macro="TESTS=test_rsa test_dsa" test       ! OpenVMS
687
       $ nmake TESTS='test_rsa test_dsa' test           # Windows
688

689
     And of course, you can combine (Unix example shown):
690
       
691
       $ make VERBOSE=1 TESTS='test_rsa test_dsa' test
692 693 694

     You can find the list of available tests like this:

695
       $ make list-tests                                # Unix
696
       $ mms list-tests                                 ! OpenVMS
697
       $ nmake list-tests                               # Windows
698

699 700 701
     Have a look at the manual for the perl module Test::Harness to
     see what other HARNESS_* variables there are.

702
     If you find a problem with OpenSSL itself, try removing any
703 704
     compiler optimization flags from the CFLAGS line in Makefile and
     run "make clean; make" or corresponding.

     OpenSSL 1.1.0 hides a number of structures that were previously
789 790 791
     open.  This includes all internal libssl structures and a number
     of EVP types.  Accessor functions have been added to allow
     controlled access to the structures' data.
792

793 794 795 796 797 798
     This means that some software needs to be rewritten to adapt to
     the new ways of doing things.  This often amounts to allocating
     an instance of a structure explicitly where you could previously
     allocate them on the stack as automatic variables, and using the
     provided accessor functions where you would previously access a
     structure's field directly.

 Environment Variables
 ---------------------

 A number of environment variables can be used to provide additional control
 over the build process. 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.

814 815 816 817 818 819 820
 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
837 838 839 840
                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
M
Matt Caswell 已提交
841
                file Configurations/README for further information about the
842 843 844 845 846 847
                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.

850 851

 PERL
852
                The name of the Perl executable to use when building OpenSSL.
853 854 855
                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.
856 857 858 859 860 861 862

 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. The default will be as
                defined for the target platform in the ".conf" file. If not
                defined then "windres" will be used. The WINDRES environment
                variable is synonymous to this. If both are defined then RC
                takes precedence.

 RANLIB
                The name of the ranlib executable to use.

 WINDRES
                See RC.

 Makefile targets
 ----------------

 The Configure script generates a Makefile in a format relevant to the specific
 platform. The Makefiles provide a number of targets that can be used. Not all
 targets may be available on all platforms. Only the most common targets are
 described here. Examine the Makefiles themselves for the full list.

 all
                The default target to build all the software components.

 clean
                Remove all build artefacts and return the directory to a "clean"
                state.

 depend
                Rebuild the dependencies in the Makefiles. This is a legacy
                option that no longer needs to be used in OpenSSL 1.1.0.

 install
                Install all OpenSSL components.

 install_sw
                Only install the OpenSSL software components.

 install_docs
                Only install the OpenSSL documentation components.

 install_man_docs
                Only install the OpenSSL man pages (Unix only).

 install_html_docs
                Only install the OpenSSL html documentation.

 list-tests
                Prints a list of all the self test names.

 test
                Build and run the OpenSSL self tests.

 uninstall
                Uninstall all OpenSSL components.

 update
                This is a developer option. If you are developing a patch for
                OpenSSL you may need to use this if you want to update
                automatically generated files; add new error codes or add new
                (or change the visibility of) public API functions. (Unix only).

 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
939 940 941 942 943 944 945 946
                this token equivalent to TESTS="alltests -xxx".
 nn             Adds the test group 'nn' (which is a number) to the current
                set of tests.
 -nn            Removes the test group 'nn' 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".
947 948 949 950 951 952 953 954 955 956 957 958 959 960 961 962 963 964

 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

965 966 967 968 969 970 971 972 973 974 975 976
 Example: Only test group 10:

 $ make TESTS='10'

 Example: All tests except the slow group (group 99):

 $ make TESTS='-99'

 Example: All tests in test groups 80 to 99 except for tests in group 90:

 $ make TESTS='[89]? -90'

977 978 979 980 981 982 983 984 985 986
 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
U
Ulf Möller 已提交
987
 to specify at least two options: "threads", and a system-dependent option.
988 989 990 991 992
 (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.)

993
 OpenSSL provides built-in support for two threading models: pthreads (found on
994 995 996
 most UNIX/Linux systems), and Windows threads. No other threading models are
 supported. If your platform does not provide pthreads or Windows threads then
 you should Configure with the "no-threads" option.

 Notes on shared libraries
 -------------------------

M
Matt Caswell 已提交
1001 1002 1003 1004 1005 1006
 For most systems the OpenSSL Configure script knows what is needed to
 build shared libraries for libcrypto and libssl. On these systems
 the shared libraries will be created by default. This can be suppressed and
 only static libraries created by using the "no-shared" option. On 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.
1007

1008 1009 1010 1011 1012 1013 1014 1015 1016 1017 1018 1019 1020 1021 1022 1023
 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
R

1024
 libcrypto.dll.a and libssl.dll.a.
1025 1026 1027 1028 1029 1030 1031 1032

 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.

1033 1034 1035 1036 1037 1038 1039 1040
 Note on random number generation
 --------------------------------

 Availability of cryptographically secure random numbers is required for
 secret key generation. OpenSSL provides several options to seed the
 internal PRNG. If not properly seeded, the internal PRNG will refuse
 to deliver random bytes and a "PRNG not seeded error" will occur.
 On systems without /dev/urandom (or similar) device, it may be necessary
