-Build Prerequisites:
-
- * CMake[1] 2.8.8 or later is required.
-
- * Perl 5.6.1 or later is required. On Windows, Strawberry Perl and MSYS Perl
- have both been reported to work. If not found by CMake, it may be configured
- explicitly by setting PERL_EXECUTABLE.
-
- * On Windows you currently must use Ninja[2] to build; on other platforms,
- it is not required, but recommended, because it makes builds faster.
-
- * If you need to build Ninja from source, then a recent version of
- Python[3] is required (Python 2.7.5 works).
-
- * On Windows only, Yasm[4] is required. If not found by CMake, it may be
- configured explicitly by setting CMAKE_ASM_NASM_COMPILER.
-
- * A C compiler is required. On Windows, MSVC 12 (Visual Studio 2013) or later
- with Platform SDK 8.1 or later are supported. Recent versions of GCC and
- Clang should work on non-Windows platforms, and maybe on Windows too.
-
- * Go[5] is required. If not found by CMake, the go executable may be
- configured explicitly by setting GO_EXECUTABLE.
-
-Using Ninja (note the 'N' is capitalized in the cmake invocation):
-
- mkdir build
- cd build
- cmake -GNinja ..
- ninja
-
-Using makefiles (does not work on Windows):
-
- mkdir build
- cd build
- cmake ..
- make
-
-You usually don't need to run cmake again after changing CMakeLists.txt files
-because the build scripts will detect changes to them and rebuild themselves
-automatically.
-
-Note that the default build flags in the top-level CMakeLists.txt are for
-debugging - optimisation isn't enabled.
-
-If you want to cross-compile then there is an example toolchain file for
-32-bit Intel in util/. Wipe out the build directory, recreate it and run cmake
-like this:
-
- cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../util/32-bit-toolchain.cmake -GNinja ..
-
-If you want to build as a shared library, pass -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=1. On
-Windows, where functions need to be tagged with "dllimport" when coming from a
-shared library, define BORINGSSL_SHARED_LIBRARY in any code which #includes the
-BoringSSL headers.
-
-
-Building for Android:
-
-It's possible to build BoringSSL with the Android NDK using CMake. This has
-been tested with version 10d of the NDK.
-
-Unpack the Android NDK somewhere and export ANDROID_NDK to point to the
-directory. Clone https://github.com/taka-no-me/android-cmake into util/.
-Then make a build directory as above and run CMake *twice* like this:
-
- cmake -DANDROID_NATIVE_API_LEVEL=android-9 \
- -DANDROID_ABI=armeabi-v7a \
- -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../util/android-cmake/android.toolchain.cmake \
- -GNinja ..
-
-Once you've run that twice, ninja should produce Android-compatible binaries.
-You can replace "armeabi-v7a" in the above with "arm64-v8a" to build aarch64
-binaries.
-
-
-Known Limitations on Windows:
-
- * Versions of cmake since 3.0.2 have a bug in its Ninja generator that causes
- yasm to output warnings "yasm: warning: can open only one input file, only
- the last file will be processed". These warnings can be safely ignored.
- The cmake bug is http://www.cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=15253.
-
- * cmake can generate Visual Studio projects, but the generated project files
- don't have steps for assembling the assembly language source files, so they
- currently cannot be used to build BoringSSL.
