Looking at the code here: https://github.com/openssl/openssl/blob/69296e264e58334620f541d09a4e381ee45542d4/Configure#L470-L510 It seems that "no-tests" will happen automatically if you specify "no-apps". "no-apps" will be automatically turned on by "no-autoalginit". i.e. these 3: no-tests no-apps no-autoalginit It strikes me as a bit over-zealous to disable all the tests because the apps are disabled (quite a few tests use the apps, but quite a few do not - we could at least run the ones that don't use them). These option cascades really ought to be documented in INSTALL, but I can see that they are not.
