Notes on OpenSSL -

• Add the /home/scf-22/csci551b/openssl/bin directory to your path (environment variable PATH):
  • If your shell is csh, you can do:

    set path=(/home/scf-22/csci551b/openssl/bin $path)
    rehash

  • If your shell is bash, you can do:

    export PATH=/home/scf-22/csci551b/openssl/bin:$PATH

• Add the /home/scf-22/csci551b/openssl/lib directory to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable:
  • If your shell is csh, you can do:

    setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /home/scf-22/csci551b/openssl/lib:/usr/lib:/lib

  • If your shell is bash, you can do:

    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/scf-22/csci551b/openssl/lib:/usr/lib:/lib

• Add the /home/scf-22/csci551b/openssl/ssl/man directory to your MANPATH environment variable:
  • If your shell is csh, you can do:

    setenv MANPATH /home/scf-22/csci551b/openssl/ssl/man:$MANPATH

  • If your shell is bash, you can do:

    export MANPATH=/home/scf-22/csci551b/openssl/ssl/man:$MANPATH

• Add the following commandline option during compiling:

  -I/home/scf-22/csci551b/openssl/include

  In each source file that needs a header file, for example, "something.h" from openssl, you can add:

  #include <openssl/something.h>

  The "openssl/something.h" file is then expected to be in the /home/scf-22/csci551b/openssl/include directory.

• Add the following commandline option during linking to link with the openssl library (after all the .o files):

  -L/home/scf-22/csci551b/openssl/lib -lcrypto -lsocket

  The "libcrypto.a" file is then expected to be in the /home/scf-22/csci551b/openssl/lib directory.

Please do not use openssl anywhere in /usr/lsd/openssl because ISD may change the content of its subdirectories in the middle of the semester.

If your shell is bash, you can copy the lines for path, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and MANPATH into your ~/.bash_profile file.
