This package is the official portable version of LibreSSL
|
|
(http://www.libressl.org).
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Official release tarballs are available at your friendly neighborhood
|
|
OpenBSD mirror in directory LibreSSL, e.g.:
|
|
|
|
http://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/LibreSSL/
|
|
|
|
although we suggest that you use a mirror:
|
|
|
|
http://www.openbsd.org/ftp.html
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
The project attempts to provide working alternatives for operating systems with
|
|
limited or broken security primitives (e.g. arc4random(3), issetugid(2)) and
|
|
assists with improving OS-native implementations where possible.
|
|
|
|
LibreSSL portable will build on any reasonably modern version of Linux,
|
|
Solaris, or OSX with a standards-compliant compiler and C library.
