Hello, This is something between a request for information and a bug report.
Background: We have been using OpenSSL for many years in Bacula, which has created a number of license problems because we are GPL. Problem: Our users are reporting that Bacula no longer compiles under Fedora 12 because of our use of OpenSSL. Compiling guid_to_name.c crypto.c: In function 'ASN1_OCTET_STRING* openssl_cert_keyid(X509*)': crypto.c:333: error: invalid conversion from 'const X509V3_EXT_METHOD*' to 'X509V3_EXT_METHOD*' crypto.c: In function 'CRYPTO_SESSION* crypto_session_new(crypto_cipher_t, alist*)': crypto.c:1102: error: cannot convert 'unsigned char*' to 'EVP_PKEY_CTX*' for argument '1' to 'int EVP_PKEY_encrypt(EVP_PKEY_CTX*, unsigned char*, size_t*, const unsigned char*, size_t)' crypto.c: In function 'crypto_error_t crypto_session_decode(const u_int8_t*, u_int32_t, alist*, CRYPTO_SESSION**)': crypto.c:1226: error: cannot convert 'unsigned char*' to 'EVP_PKEY_CTX*' for argument '1' to 'int EVP_PKEY_decrypt(EVP_PKEY_CTX*, unsigned char*, size_t*, const unsigned char*, size_t)' make[1]: *** [crypto.lo] Error 1 In looking at your change log, it looks like you have renamed some "undocumented" functions, which causes the above errors. I am not sure why these functions were used since it was Landon Fuller who wrote the original code. However, I am wondering why it was really necessary to make this change. Wouldn't it have been simpler for your users to simply change the name of the new function? Now I am faced with the prospect of having to add special code to detect the OpenSSL version, or possible switch to another encryption library :-( Best regards, Kern Sibbald Bacula project manager ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List openssl-dev@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
