rsaref Build with RSADSI's RSAREF toolkit.
+ no-threads Don't try to build with support for multi-threaded
+ applications.
+
+ threads Build with support for multi-threaded applications.
+ This will usually require additional system-dependent options!
+ See "Note on multi-threading" below.
+
no-asm Build with no assembler code.
386 Use the 80386 instruction set only (the default x86 code is
private Initially empty, this is the default location
for private key files.
lib Contains the OpenSSL configuration file "openssl.cnf".
+ misc Various scripts.
If you didn't chose a different installation prefix, lib also contains
the library files themselves, and the following additional subdirectories
include/openssl Contains the header files needed if you want to
compile programs with libcrypto or libssl.
+ Package builders who want to configure the library for standard
+ locations, but have the package installed somewhere else so that
+ it can easily be packaged, can use
+
+ $ make INSTALL_PREFIX=/tmp/package-root install
+
+ (or specify "--install_prefix=/tmp/package-root" as a configure
+ option). The specified prefix will be prepended to all
+ installation target filenames.
+
+
NOTE: The header files used to reside directly in the include
directory, but have now been moved to include/openssl so that
OpenSSL can co-exist with other libraries which use some of the
with names of the form <foo.h>.
+ Note on multi-threading
+ -----------------------
+
+ For some systems, the OpenSSL Configure script knows what compiler options
+ are needed to generate a library that is suitable for multi-threaded
+ applications. On these systems, support for multi-threading is enabled
+ by default; use the "no-threads" option to disable (this should never be
+ necessary).
+
+ On other systems, to enable support for multi-threading, you will have
+ to specifiy at least two options: "threads", and a system-dependent option.
+ (The latter is "-D_REENTRANT" on various systems.) The default in this
+ case, obviously, is not to include support for multi-threading (but
+ you can still use "no-threads" to suppress an annoying warning message
+ from the Configure script.)
