generic configurations "cc" or "gcc" should usually work on 32 bit
systems.
- Configure creates the file Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org and
+ Configure creates the file Makefile from Makefile.org and
defines various macros in crypto/opensslconf.h (generated from
crypto/opensslconf.h.in).
If a test fails, look at the output. There may be reasons for
the failure that isn't a problem in OpenSSL itself (like a missing
or malfunctioning bc). If it is a problem with OpenSSL itself,
- try removing any compiler optimization flags from the CFLAGS line
- in Makefile.ssl and run "make clean; make". Please send a bug

+ Note on support for multiple builds
+ -----------------------------------
+
+ OpenSSL is usually built in it's source tree. Unfortunately, this doesn't
+ support building for multiple platforms from the same source tree very well.
+ It is however possible to build in a separate tree through the use of lots
+ of symbolic links, which should be prepared like this:
+
+ mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
+ cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
+ (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
+ mkdir -p `dirname $F`
+ rm -f $F; ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
+ echo $F '->' $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F
+ done
+ make -f Makefile.org clean
+
+ OPENSSL_SOURCE is an environment variable that contains the absolute (this
+ is important!) path to the OpenSSL source tree.
+
+ Also, operations like 'make update' should still be made in the source tree.
