although it is suggested you use a mirror.
Development is done in the upstream OpenBSD codebase. A github clone http://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/LibreSSL/
of the official repositories is kept at:

We update this repository from the OpenBSD respositories
semi-frequently, so changes may not show up in GitHub immediately.

./configure && make check && make install although we suggest that you use a mirror:
See crypto/compat for the bulk of the local compatibility code. http://www.openbsd.org/ftp.html
It will likely build on any reasonably modern version of Linux, Solaris, The LibreSSL portable build framework is also mirrored in Github:

If you have checked this source using Git, follow these initial steps to
prepare the source tree for building:
1. ensure you have the following packages installed:
automake, autoconf, bash, git, libtool, perl, pod2man
2. run './autogen.sh' to prepare the source tree for building
or run './dist.sh' to prepare a tarball.
Once you have a source tree from Git or FTP, run these commands to build and
install the package:
./configure # see ./configure --help for configuration options
make check # runs builtin unit tests
make install # set DESTDIR= to install to an alternate location
The resulting library and 'openssl' utility is largely API-compatible with
OpenSSL 1.0.1. However, it is not ABI compatible - you will need to relink your
programs to LibreSSL in order to use it, just as in moving from OpenSSL 0.9.8
to 1.0.1.
LibreSSL portable will likely build on any reasonably modern version of Linux,
Solaris, or OSX with a standards-compliant compiler and C library. If you are
working a new port, most of the OS-specific compatibility code is found in
'crypto/compat'
