Public bug reported:
Hi,
I tried to move the chrony dependency from tomcrypt to libnss to avoid universe
dependencies.
While doing so I found that libfreebl3 is not "normally" linkable being outside
the normal ld paths.
E.g. sample program
#include <nss.h>
#include <hasht.h>
#include <nsslowhash.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
NSSLOWHASH_Begin(NSSLOWHASH_NewContext(NSSLOW_Init(), HASH_AlgSHA512));
return 0;
}
Build:
gcc -g -O2 -fstack-protector-strong -Wformat -Werror=format-security
-Wmissing-prototypes -Wall -pthread -Wdate-time -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2
-I/usr/include/nss -I/usr/include/nspr -o docheck docheck.c -lfreebl3
-Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions -Wl,-z,relro -v -Wl,-v -L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/nss
Then:
ldd docheck
will give you
libfreebl3.so => not found
Obviously a link into /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ fixes the issue but
needs some more consideration if that is the thing we want (there might
be a reason it is where it is).
Note: Required to go on with the chrony MIR which is rather urgent to be
sorted out as it has a lot of other dependencies that need to be
adapted.
