Introduction to OpenSSL

The OpenSSL package contains management tools and libraries relating to cryptography. These are useful for providing cryptography functions to other packages, notably OpenSSH, email applications and web browsers (for accessing HTTPS sites).

Dependencies

Optional

• bc (used by the testsuite)

Non-Multilib

Compile the package:

patch -Np1 -i ../openssl-0.9.8d-fix_manpages-1.patch &&
./config --openssldir=/etc/ssl --prefix=/usr shared &&
make MANDIR=/usr/share/man

Install the package

make MANDIR=/usr/share/man install &&
cp -v -r certs /etc/ssl &&
install -v -d -m755 /usr/share/doc/openssl-0.9.8d &&
cp -v -r doc/{HOWTO,README,*.{txt,html,gif}} \
    /usr/share/doc/openssl-0.9.8d

Multilib

32Bit

Configure the Package (Use the appropriate command):

x86_64

patch -Np1 -i ../openssl-0.9.8d-32bit_x86_64-1.patch &&
./Configure linux-x86_64-32 --openssldir=/etc/ssl --prefix=/usr shared

Sparc

./Configure linux-sparcv9 --openssldir=/etc/ssl --prefix=/usr shared

Mips (Little-Endian)

./Configure linux-mipsel --openssldir=/etc/ssl --prefix=/usr shared

Mips (Big-Endian)

./Configure linux-mips --openssldir=/etc/ssl --prefix=/usr shared

Compile the package:

USE_ARCH=32 make CC="gcc ${BUILD32}" PERL=/usr/bin/perl

Install the package:

USE_ARCH=32 make PERL=/usr/bin/perl MANDIR=/usr/share/man install

N32

This patch allows OpenSSL to be installed a dir other then lib.

patch -Np1 -i ../openssl-0.9.8d-allow_lib64-1.patch

Configure the Package (Use the appropriate command):

Mips (Little-Endian)

./Configure linux-mipsel-n32 --openssldir=/etc/ssl --prefix=/usr shared

Mips (Big-Endian)

./Configure linux-mips-n32 --openssldir=/etc/ssl --prefix=/usr shared

Compile the package:

USE_ARCH=n32 make CC="gcc ${BUILDN32}" PERL=/usr/bin/perl LIBDIR=lib32

Install the package:

USE_ARCH=n32 make PERL=/usr/bin/perl MANDIR=/usr/share/man LIBDIR=lib32 install

64Bit

This patch allows OpenSSL to be installed into a dir other then lib:

patch -Np1 -i ../openssl-0.9.8d-allow_lib64-1.patch

Configure the Package (Use the appropriate command):

x86_64

./Configure linux-x86_64 --openssldir=/etc/ssl --prefix=/usr shared

Sparc

./Configure linux64-sparcv9 --openssldir=/etc/ssl --prefix=/usr shared

Mips (Little-Endian)

./Configure linux-mips64el --openssldir=/etc/ssl --prefix=/usr shared

Mips (Big-Endian)

./Configure linux-mips64 --openssldir=/etc/ssl --prefix=/usr shared

Compile the package:

USE_ARCH=64 make CC="gcc ${BUILD64}" PERL=/usr/bin/perl LIBDIR=lib64

Install the package:

USE_ARCH=64 make PERL=/usr/bin/perl MANDIR=/usr/share/man LIBDIR=lib64 install

Contents

The OpenSSL package contains management tools and libraries relating to cryptography.

Installed Programs: c_rehash, openssl

Installed Libraries: libcrypto.{so,a}, libssl.{so,a}

Installed Directories: /etc/ssl, /usr/include/ssl, /usr/lib/engines, /usr/share/doc/openssl-0.9.8c

Short Descriptions

c_rehash: is a Perl script that scans all files in a directory and adds symbolic links to their hash values.

openssl: is a command-line tool for using the various cryptography functions of OpenSSL's crypto library from the shell

libcrypto.{so,a}: implements a wide range of cryptographic algorithms used in various Internet standards.

libssl.{so,a}: implements the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) protocols.
