The Network Security Services (<application>NSS</application>) package is
a set of libraries designed to support cross-platform development of
security-enabled client and server applications. Applications built with
NSS can support SSL v2 and v3, TLS, PKCS #5, PKCS #7, PKCS #11, PKCS #12,
S/MIME, X.509 v3 certificates, and other security standards. This is
useful for implementing SSL and S/MIME or other Internet security
standards into an application.

When interrupting the tests, the test suite
fails to spin down test servers that are run. This leads to an
infinite loop in the tests where the test suite tries to kill a server
that doesn't exist anymore because it pulls the wrong PID.

<title>Command Explanations</title>
<para>
<parameter>BUILD_OPT=1</parameter>: This option is passed to
<command>make</command> so that the build is performed with no debugging
symbols built into the binaries and the default compiler optimizations are
used.
</para>
<para>
<parameter>NSPR_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/include/nspr</parameter>: This option
sets the location of the nspr headers.
</para>
<para>
<parameter>USE_SYSTEM_ZLIB=1</parameter>: This option is passed to
<command>make</command> to ensure that the
<filename class="libraryfile">libssl3.so</filename> library is linked to
the system installed <application>zlib</application> instead of the
in-tree version.
</para>
<para>
<parameter>ZLIB_LIBS=-lz</parameter>: This option provides the
linker flags needed to link to the system <application>zlib</application>.
</para>
<para>
<command>$([ $(uname -m) = x86_64 ] &amp;&amp; echo USE_64=1)</command>:
The <parameter>USE_64=1</parameter> option is <emphasis>required on
x86_64</emphasis>, otherwise <command>make</command> will try (and fail)
to create 32-bit objects. The [ $(uname -m) = x86_64 ] test ensures it
has no effect on a 32 bit system.
</para>
<para>
<command>([ -f /usr/include/sqlite3.h ] &amp;&amp; echo
NSS_USE_SYSTEM_SQLITE=1)</command>: This tests if
<application>sqlite</application> is installed and if so it
<command>echo</command>s the option NSS_USE_SYSTEM_SQLITE=1 to
<command>make</command> so that
<filename class="libraryfile">libsoftokn3.so</filename> will link against
the system version of sqlite.
</para>
<para>
<option>NSS_DISABLE_GTESTS=1</option>: If you don't need to run
NSS test suite, append this option to <command>make</command> command,
to prevent the compilation of tests and save some build time.

If <xref linkend="p11-kit"/> is installed, the
<application>p11-kit</application> trust module
(<filename>/usr/lib/pkcs11/p11-kit-trust.so</filename>) can be used as a
drop-in replacement for <filename>/usr/lib/libnssckbi.so</filename> to
transparently make the system CAs available to
<application>NSS</application> aware applications, rather than the static
list provided by <filename>/usr/lib/libnssckbi.so</filename>. As the

Additionally, for dependent applications that do not use the internal
database (<filename>/usr/lib/libnssckbi.so</filename>), the
<filename>/usr/sbin/make-ca</filename> script, included on the
<xref linkend="make-ca"/> page can generate a system wide NSS DB with the
