This project repackages the OpenBSD (http://www.openbsd.org/) fork of
|
||||
OpenSSL (https://www.openssl.org/), LibreSSL (http://www.libressl.org/), so
|
||||
it is buildable on other systems.
|
||||
This package is the portable version of LibReSSL (http://www.libressl.org).
|
||||
|
||||
To build, you need autoconf, automake and libtool installed.
|
||||
To run all unit tests, you need python installed as well.
|
||||
LibReSSL is a fork of OpenSSL developed by the OpenBSD project
|
||||
(http://www.openbsd.org). LibReSSL is developed on OpenBSD. This
|
||||
package then adds portability shims for other operating systems.
|
||||
|
||||
Run 'autogen.sh' followed by './configure; make; make check'
|
||||
|
||||
To build a tarball, run 'make dist'
|
||||
|
||||
You may need to periodically clean/dist-clean your source tree or rerun
|
||||
autogen.sh/update.sh in order to import the latest source from the git
|
||||
submodules.
|
||||
|
||||
Warning:
|
||||
This is an alpha work-in-progress, not ready for general use. It is based on
|
||||
semi-regular snapshots of the upstream code with minimal patching (see the
|
||||
compat_fixes branches on the upstream import trees for current patches).
|
||||
|
||||
Use it this check application compatibility, security research, code auditing,
|
||||
or to just see what the LibreSSL team is up to. Just don't use it in
|
||||
production!
|
||||
|
||||
Please also read Nick Mathewson's warning on libottery. While we are not
|
||||
currently incorporating this library for random numbers, the warning is still
|
||||
relevant.

|
||||
|
||||
Caveat Emptor:
|
||||
While this project uses compatibility shims and imports functions from
|
||||
OpenBSD's libc, it is a continual challenge to make it work exactly the same as
|
||||
if it is running on OpenBSD. Until there is an official port of LibreSSL (and
|
||||
even after), please conduct your own audits and patches are always welcome.

|

./configure make make check make install
|
||||
|
||||
See crypto/compat for the bulk of the local compatibility code.
|
||||
|
||||
It has been tested to build on these platforms:
|
||||
Ubuntu 14.04 amd64 / armhf
|
||||
Centos 6.5 i686
|
||||
FreeBSD 10 amd64
|
||||
Mac OS X 10.9.3
|
||||
It will likely build on any reasonably modern version of Linux, Solaris,
|
||||
or OSX with a sane compiler and C library.
