-Using your own OpenSSL on Linux
--------------------------------
-
-Python links to OpenSSL for its own purposes and this can sometimes cause
-problems when you wish to use a different version of OpenSSL with cryptography.
-If you want to use cryptography with your own build of OpenSSL you will need to
-make sure that the build is configured correctly so that your version of
-OpenSSL doesn't conflict with Python's.
-
-The options you need to add allow the linker to identify every symbol correctly
-even when multiple versions of the library are linked into the same program. If
-you are using your distribution's source packages these will probably be
-patched in for you already, otherwise you'll need to use options something like
-this when configuring OpenSSL:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ ./config -Wl,--version-script=openssl.ld -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions -fPIC shared
-
-You'll also need to generate your own ``openssl.ld`` file. For example::
-
-    OPENSSL_1.0.1F_CUSTOM {
-        global:
-            *;
-    };
-
-You should replace the version string on the first line as appropriate for your
-build.
-
-Using your own OpenSSL on OS X
-------------------------------
-
-To link cryptography against a custom version of OpenSSL you'll need to set
-``ARCHFLAGS``, ``LDFLAGS``, and ``CFLAGS``. OpenSSL can be installed via
-`Homebrew`_:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ brew install openssl
-
-Then install cryptography linking against the brewed version:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ env ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib" CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include" pip install cryptography
