("openssl"). The libraries will be built in the top-level directory,
and the binary will be in the "apps" subdirectory.
+ Troubleshooting:
+
If the build fails, look at the output. There may be reasons
for the failure that aren't problems in OpenSSL itself (like
- missing standard headers). If you are having problems you can
- get help by sending an email to the openssl-users email list (see
+ missing standard headers).
+
+ If the build succeeded previously, but fails after a source or
+ configuration change, it might be helpful to clean the build tree
+ before attempting another build. Use this command:
+
+ $ make clean # Unix
+ $ mms clean ! (or mmk) OpenVMS
+ $ nmake clean # Windows
+
+ Assembler error messages can sometimes be sidestepped by using the
+ "no-asm" configuration option.
+
+ Compiling parts of OpenSSL with gcc and others with the system
+ compiler will result in unresolved symbols on some systems.
+
+ If you are still having problems you can get help by sending an email
+ to the openssl-users email list (see
https://www.openssl.org/community/mailinglists.html for details). If
it is a bug with OpenSSL itself, please open an issue on GitHub, at
https://github.com/openssl/openssl/issues. Please review the existing
ones first; maybe the bug was already reported or has already been
fixed.
- (If you encounter assembler error messages, try the "no-asm"
- configuration option as an immediate fix.)

3. After a successful build, the libraries should be tested. Run:
$ make test # Unix
