482.1 Building the Module on a Unix System
49</H2>
50
51<P>
52pyOpenSSL uses distutils, so there really shouldn't be any problems. To build
53the library:
54<dl><dd><pre class="verbatim">
55python setup.py build
56</pre></dl>
57
58<P>
59If your OpenSSL header files aren't in <code>/usr/include</code>, you may need to
60supply the <code>-I</code> flag to let the setup script know where to look. The same
61goes for the libraries of course, use the <code>-L</code> flag. Note that
62<code>build</code> won't accept these flags, so you have to run first
63<code>build_ext</code> and then <code>build</code>! Example:
64<dl><dd><pre class="verbatim">
65python setup.py build_ext -I/usr/local/ssl/include -L/usr/local/ssl/lib
66python setup.py build
67</pre></dl>
68
69<P>
70Now you should have a directory called <code>OpenSSL</code> that contains e.g.
71<code>SSL.so</code> and <code>__init__.py</code> somewhere in the build dicrectory,
72so just:
73<dl><dd><pre class="verbatim">
74python setup.py install
75</pre></dl>
76
77<P>
78If you, for some arcane reason, don't want the module to appear in the
79<code>site-packages</code> directory, use the <code>--prefix</code> option.
80
81<P>
82You can, of course, do
83<dl><dd><pre class="verbatim">
84python setup.py --help
85</pre></dl>
86
87<P>
88to find out more about how to use the script.
