Introduction to OpenSSL

The OpenSSL Project is a collaborative effort to develop a robust, commercial-grade, full-featured, and Open Source toolkit implementing the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) protocols as well as a full-strength general purpose cryptography library.

Project Homepage: http://www.openssl.org/

Dependencies

Optional

• bc (used by the testsuite)
• CVS (used by the certificate bundle script)

Note

Kerberos support is currently BROKEN, DO NOT USE

Note

Parallel build (make -j ...) may fail to install openssl but still appear to complete "successfully," without stopping at the error. Apply the parallel build patch: patch -Np1 -i ../openssl-1.0.1e-fix_parallel_build-1.patch

Non-Multilib

Note

When building on Sparc in Pure 64bit, use the configure command from the multilib section, then proceed as normal

Compile the package:

patch -Np1 -i ../openssl-1.0.1e-fix_manpages-1.patch &&
patch -Np1 -i ../openssl-1.0.1e-mips_support-1.patch &&
./config --openssldir=/etc/ssl --prefix=/usr shared &&
make MANDIR=/usr/share/man

Configuring

You can create a ca-bundle with the following script, it is from: http://www.mail-archive.com/modssl-users@modssl.org/msg16980.html

cat > mkcabundle.pl << "EOF"
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
