The `./config` script tries hard to guess your operating system, but in some
cases it does not succeed. You will see a message like the following:
- $ ./config
+ ./config
Operating system: x86-whatever-minix
This system (minix) is not supported. See file INSTALL for details.
` ``` ` on a separate line) before and after your output:
```
- $ ./Configure [your arguments...]
+ ./Configure [your arguments...]
[output...]
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
+ 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.

If some tests fail, look at the output. There may be reasons for the failure
-that isn't a problem in OpenSSL itself (like a malfunction with Perl).

You may want increased verbosity, that can be accomplished like this:
-Verbosity on failure only (make macro VERBOSE_FAILURE or VF):
+Full verbosity (`make` macro `VERBOSE` or `V`):
+
+ make V=1 test # Unix
+ mms /macro=(V=1) test ! OpenVMS
+ nmake V=1 test # Windows
+
+Verbosity on test failure (`VERBOSE_FAILURE` or `VF´, Unix example shown):
+
+ make test VF=1
+
+Verbosity on failed (sub-)tests only (`VERBOSE_FAILURES_ONLY` or `VFO`):
- $ make VF=1 test # Unix
- $ mms /macro=(VF=1) test ! OpenVMS
- $ nmake VF=1 test # Windows
+ make test VFO=1
-Full verbosity (make macro VERBOSE or V):
+Verbosity on failed (sub-)tests, in addition progress on succeeded (sub-)tests
+(`VERBOSE_FAILURES_PROGRESS` or `VFP`):
- $ make V=1 test # Unix
- $ mms /macro=(V=1) test ! OpenVMS
- $ nmake V=1 test # Windows
+ make test VFP=1
If you want to run just one or a few specific tests, you can use
the make variable TESTS to specify them, like this:
- $ make TESTS='test_rsa test_dsa' test # Unix
- $ mms/macro="TESTS=test_rsa test_dsa" test ! OpenVMS
- $ nmake TESTS='test_rsa test_dsa' test # Windows
+ make TESTS='test_rsa test_dsa' test # Unix
+ mms/macro="TESTS=test_rsa test_dsa" test ! OpenVMS
+ nmake TESTS='test_rsa test_dsa' test # Windows
-And of course, you can combine (Unix example shown):
+And of course, you can combine (Unix examples shown):
- $ make VF=1 TESTS='test_rsa test_dsa' test
+ make test TESTS='test_rsa test_dsa' VF=1
+ make test TESTS="test_cmp_*" VFO=1
You can find the list of available tests like this:
- $ make list-tests # Unix
- $ mms list-tests ! OpenVMS
- $ nmake list-tests # Windows
+ make list-tests # Unix
+ mms list-tests ! OpenVMS
+ nmake list-tests # Windows
Have a look at the manual for the perl module Test::Harness to
see what other HARNESS_* variables there are.
