<p>This describes how to compiling the p11-kit package from
source code. This is normally only necessary for those wishing to
contribute to the project or package p11-kit.</p>
<p>You can download
<a class="ulink" href="https://github.com/p11-glue/p11-kit/releases" target="_top">tarballs
of the releases</a> of p11-kit or
<a class="ulink" href="https://github.com/p11-glue/p11-kit/" target="_top">check
out the source code from git</a>. This documentation will not
go into all the details of how to get your development environment
set up and instead focus on the what's unique to compiling p11-kit.</p>
<div class="section">
<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">
<a name="devel-building-unix"></a>Building on UNIX</h3></div></div></div>
<p>p11-kit uses the standard GNU build system, using autoconf for package
configuration and resolving portability issues, automake for building makefiles
that comply with the GNU Coding Standards, and libtool for building shared
libraries on multiple platforms. The normal sequence for compiling and
installing the p11-kit library is thus:</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
$ ./configure --prefix=/path/to/prefix ...
$ make
$ make install
</pre>
<p>If you've checked out the source code from git, then the
<span class="command"><strong>configure</strong></span> script does not yet exist. So use
the following instead:</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
$ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/path/to/prefix ...
$ make
$ make install
</pre>
<p>The standard options provided by GNU autoconf may be passed to the configure
script. Please see the autoconf documentation or run <code class="literal">./configure --help</code>
for information about the standard options. In particular you probably want to adjust
the <code class="literal">--prefix=/xxx</code> argument depending on your system and development
environment.</p>

<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">
<a name="devel-building-dependencies"></a>Optional Dependencies</h3></div></div></div>
<p>On a modern GNU Linux system, p11-kit has no required dependencies other
than the standard C library. However on older UNIX systems, some of the following
may be required.</p>
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; ">
<li class="listitem"><p><span class="command"><strong>gettext</strong></span> is required if your system doesn't
have the <code class="literal">gettext()</code> functionality for handling message
translation databases. This can be provided by the libintl library from
the <a class="ulink" href="http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext" target="_top">GNU gettext
package</a>.</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p><span class="command"><strong>pthread</strong></span> is required if your (ancient) system
doesn't have this included in the base system. How this is provided is platform
specific.</p></li>
</ul></div>
<p>In addition p11-kit has several optional dependencies. If these are not available
during the build, then certain features will be disabled.</p>
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; ">
<li class="listitem"><p><span class="command"><strong>libffi</strong></span> for sharing of PKCS#11 modules
between multiple callers in the same process. It is highly recommended that
this dependency be treated as a required dependency.</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p><span class="command"><strong>gtk-doc</strong></span> is required to build the reference
manual. Use <code class="literal">--enable-doc</code> to control this
dependency.</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p><span class="command"><strong>xsltproc</strong></span> is required to build the command
manual pages. Use <code class="literal">--enable-doc</code> to control this
dependency.</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p><span class="command"><strong>libtasn1</strong></span> is required to build the trust
module and code that interacts with certificates.</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p><span class="command"><strong>freebl3</strong></span> (developed as part of the NSS
code base) is an optional dependency that may be used to meet policy
requirements of system builders. Enabling this dependency provides no other
advantage.</p></li>
</ul></div>

<div class="section">
<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">
<a name="devel-building-configure"></a>Extra Configuration Options</h3></div></div></div>
<p>In addition to the normal options, the configure script in the p11-kit library
supports these additional arguments:</p>
<div class="variablelist"><table border="0" class="variablelist">
<colgroup>
<col align="left" valign="top">
<col>
</colgroup>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><p><span class="term"><code class="option">--disable-trust-module</code></span></p></td>
<td><p>Disables building of the trust policy module.</p></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><p><span class="term"><code class="option">--disable-debug</code>, <code class="option">--enable-debug</code></span></p></td>
<td><p>By default p11-kit is built with debug symbols assertions and
and precondition checks. Enabling the debug option configures even more
detailed debug build, including disabling optimization. Disabling the debug
option is not recommended, as it disables all assertions, preconditions and
internal consistency checks, although it may result it a slightly faster
library.</p></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><p><span class="term"><code class="option">--enable-doc</code></span></p></td>
<td><p>Enables building of the documentation and command line manual.
The documentation is built in the <code class="literal">doc/html/</code> directory of
the build. Requires the <code class="literal">gtk-doc</code> and <code class="literal">xsltproc</code>
dependencies.</p></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><p><span class="term"><code class="option">--enable-strict</code></span></p></td>
<td><p>Enables strict checks during building of p11-kit. All
compiler warnings become errors.</p></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><p><span class="term"><code class="option">--with-hash-impl=freebl</code></span></p></td>
<td><p>Instead of using internal hash code, link to the freebl3
library and use its hash implementations. The only advantage this brings is to
meet the policy requirements of system builders.</p></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><p><span class="term"><code class="option">--with-libtasn1</code>, <code class="option">--without-libtasn1</code></span></p></td>
<td><p>Build with a dependency on the libtasn1 library. This dependency
allows the trust policy module to be built as well as other code that interacts with
certificates.</p></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><p><span class="term"><code class="option">--with-module-path</code></span></p></td>
<td><p>Specify the path to look for PKCS#11 modules which were
listed in a module config file with a relative path.</p></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><p><span class="term"><code class="option">--with-trust-paths</code></span></p></td>
<td><p>Specify the files or directories to look for certificate
anchors and blocklists. Multiple files and/or directories are specified with
a <code class="literal">:</code> in between them. The first path has the highest
priority when searching for certificates.</p></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><p><span class="term"><code class="option">--with-system-config</code></span></p></td>
<td><p>Specify the path to look for p11-kit config files. This
usually defaults to something like <code class="literal">/etc/pkcs11</code></p></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><p><span class="term"><code class="option">--with-user-config</code></span></p></td>
<td><p>Specify the path to look for user specific p11-kit config files. If
specify a path that begins with <code class="literal">~/</code> then this is expanded to the
home directory of the user running p11-kit. If you specify a path that begins with
<code class="literal">~/.config/</code> then this is expanded to the $XDG_CONFIG_HOME directory,
as outlined in the
<a class="ulink" href="http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html#variables" target="_top">XDG Base Dir specification</a>.
This option defaults to <code class="literal">~/.pkcs11</code></p></td>
