GnuTLS is a GNU project. Additional -information can be found at <http://www.gnutls.org/>. - - -README -====== - -This README is targeted for users of the library who build from -sources but do not necessarily develop. If you are interested -in developing and contributing to the GnuTLS project, please -see README-alpha and visit -http://www.gnutls.org/manual/html_node/Contributing.html. - - -COMPILATION -=========== - -A typical command sequence for building the library is shown below. -A complete list of options available for configure can be found -by running './configure --help'. - -``` - cd gnutls-<version> - ./configure --prefix=/usr - make - make check - sudo make install -``` - -The commands above build and install the static archive (libgnutls.a), -the shared object (libgnutls.so), and additional binaries such as certtool -and gnutls-cli. - -The library depends on libnettle and gmplib. -* gmplib: for big number arithmetic, http://gmplib.org/ -* nettle: for cryptographic algorithms, http://www.lysator.liu.se/~nisse/nettle/ - -Versions 2.10.3 and prior used libgcrypt as the default cryptographic library. - -Optionally it may use the following libraries: -* libtasn1: For ASN.1 parsing (a copy is included, if not found), http://www.gnu.org/software/libtasn1/ -* p11-kit: for smart card support, http://p11-glue.freedesktop.org/p11-kit.html -* libtspi: for Trusted Platform Module (TPM) support, http://trousers.sourceforge.net/ -* libunbound: For DNSSEC/DANE support, http://unbound.net/ -* libz: For compression support, http://www.zlib.net/ -* libidn: For supporting internationalized DNS names, http://www.gnu.org/software/libidn/ - -To configure libnettle for installation and use by GnuTLS, a typical -command sequence would be: - -``` - cd nettle-<version> - ./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-openssl --enable-shared - make - sudo make install -``` - -For the Nettle project, --enable-shared will instruct automake and -friends to build and install both the static archive (libnettle.a) -and the shared object (libnettle.so). - -In case you are compiling for an embedded system, you can disable -unneeded features of GnuTLS. In general, it is usually best not to -disable anything (for future mailing list questions and possible bugs). - -Depending on your installation, additional libraries, such as libtasn1 -and zlib, may be required. - - -DOCUMENTATION -============= - -See the documentation in doc/ and online at -http://www.gnutls.org/manual. - - -EXAMPLES -======== - -See the examples in doc/examples/ and online at 'How To Use GnuTLS in -Applications' at http://www.gnutls.org/manual. - - -SECURITY ADVISORIES -=================== - -The project collects and publishes information on past security -incidents and vulnerabilities. Open information exchange, including -information which is [sometimes] suppressed in non-open or non-free -projects, is one of the goals of the GnuTLS project. Please visit -http://www.gnutls.org/security.html. - - -MAILING LISTS -============= - -The GnuTLS project maintains mailing lists for users, developers, and -commits. Please see http://www.gnutls.org/lists.html. - - -LICENSING -========= - -Since GnuTLS version 3.1.10, the core library has been released under -the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) version 2.1 or later. - -Note, however, that version 6.0.0 and later of the gmplib library used -by GnuTLS are distributed under a LGPLv3+ or GPLv2+ dual license, and -as such binaries of this library need to be distributed under either -LGPLv3+ or GPLv2+ license. - -The GNU LGPL applies to the main GnuTLS library, while the -included applications as well as gnutls-openssl -library are under the GNU GPL version 3. The gnutls library is -located in the lib/ directory, while the applications in src/ and -gnutls-openssl library is at extra/. - -For any copyright year range specified as YYYY-ZZZZ in this package -note that the range specifies every single year in that closed interval. - - -BUGS -==== - -Thorough testing is very important and expensive. Often, the -developers do not have access to a particular piece of hardware or -configuration to reproduce a scenario. Notifying the developers about a -possible bug will greatly help the project. - -If you believe you have found a bug, please report it to bugs@gnutls.org -together with any applicable information. - -Applicable information would include why the issue is a GnuTLS bug (if -not readily apparent), output from 'uname -a', the version of the library or -tool being used, a stack trace if available ('bt full' if under gdb or -valgrind output), and perhaps a network trace. Vague queries or piecemeal -messages are difficult to act upon and don't help the development effort. - -Additional information can be found at the project's manual. - - -PATCHES -======= - -Patches are welcome and encouraged. Patches can be submitted through the -bug tracking system or the mailing list. When submitting patches, please -be sure to use sources from the git repository, and preferrably from the -master branch. To create a patch for the project from a local git repository, -please use the following commands. 'gnutls' should be the local directory -of a previous git clone. - -``` - cd gnutls - git add the-file-you-modified.c another-file.c - git commit the-file-you-modified.c another-file.c - git format-patch -``` - -For more information on use of Git, visit http://git-scm.com/ - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -Copying and distribution of this file, with or without modification, -are permitted in any medium without royalty provided the copyright -notice and this notice are preserved. |
