Building BoringSSL
The instructions provided below specify the steps to build BoringSSL on Linux on IBM Z for following distributions:
- RHEL (8.8, 8.9, 8.10, 9.2, 9.3, 9.4)
- SLES (12 SP5, 15 SP5)
- Ubuntu (20.04, 22.04, 23.10, 24.04)
General Notes:
- When following the steps below please use a standard permission user unless otherwise specified.
- A directory
/<source_root>/
will be referred to in these instructions, this is a temporary writable directory anywhere you'd like to place it.
Step 1: Build and Install BoringSSL
1.1) Build using script
If you want to build boringssl using manual steps, go to STEP 1.2.
Use the following commands to build boringssl using the build script. Please make sure you have wget installed.
wget -q https://raw.githubusercontent.com/linux-on-ibm-z/scripts/master/BoringSSL/Aug2023/build_boringssl.sh
# Build boringssl
bash build_boringssl.sh [Provide -t option for executing build with tests]
In case of error, check logs
for more details or go to STEP 1.2 to follow manual build steps.
