I hunted through all of the mail archives and other documentation currently available on the OpenSSL webpages and haven't been able to find anything that covers the situation described below. If there is a webpage/document/whatever already on this matter, please point me to it, I would sincerely appreciate it. Running 'config -t', I get the following information: Operating system: sun4m-sun-solaris2 Configuring for solaris-sparc-cc /usr/local/bin/perl ./Configure solaris-sparc-cc This appears to match what uname -a gives: SunOS hostname 5.5.1 Generic_103640-18 sun4m sparc SUNW,SPARCstation-5 Once the configuration has run (I have all of the output logged if that is needed), I get the following error when I try to run 'make' as per the INSTALL instructions: cc -I.. -I../../include -DTHREADS -D_REENTRANT -xarch=v8 -xstrconst -xO5 -xdepend -Xa -DB_ENDIAN -DBN_DIV2W -c bn_sqr.c cc -c -o asm/sparcv8.o asm/sparcv8.S cc: No input file specified, no output generated *** Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `asm/sparcv8.o' Current working directory /usr/local/openssl-0.9.3a/crypto/bn *** Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `subdirs' Current working directory /usr/local/openssl-0.9.3a/crypto *** Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `all' So, noting the comments about the 'no-asm' flag for the configuration, I used that, and the compile completed successfully with the following CFLAG line: CFLAG= -DTHREADS -D_REENTRANT -xarch=v8 -xstrconst -xO5 -xdepend -Xa -DB_ENDIAN -DBN_DIV2W However, the next step of the configuration is to test the newly compiled files with 'make test'. I've got a complete log of this, but I've chopped it where it fails with a suntax error (on line 560, teletype, as can be seen below): starting big number library test, could take a while... test BN_add test BN_sub test BN_lshift1 test BN_lshift (fixed) test BN_lshift test BN_rshift1 test BN_rshift test BN_sqr syntax error on line 560, teletype 64 tests done 128 tests done 192 tests done 256 tests done 320 tests done 384 tests done 448 tests done 512 tests done error *** Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `test_bn' Current working directory /usr/local/openssl-0.9.3a/test *** Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `tests' So, to further follow the INSTALL instructions, it suggests to remove optimization, make clean, and then make again. So I did that, and the following occured: making all in crypto... echo "#define DATE \"`date`\"" >date.h cc -I. -I../include -DTHREADS -D_REENTRANT -xarch=v8 -xstrconst -xdepend -Xa -DB_ENDIAN -DBN_DIV2W -DCFLAGS="\"cc -DTHREADS -D_REENTRANT -xarch=v8 -xstrconst -x depend -Xa -DB_ENDIAN -DBN_DIV2W\"" -DPLATFORM="\"solaris-sparc-cc\"" -c cryptlib.c cc: Warning: Optimizer level changed from 0 to 3 to support dependence based transformations. When this compile completes, I get the same results from 'make test' as mentioned above. If more information is needed in this case, please let me know, and I will do my best to provide it.
