On my linux system, (kernel is 5.10.46) , with openssl 1.1.1j built in its own
directory at /opt/openssl,
I run
./configure --disable-hardening --build-libxml2 --disable-pulse
--build-headless --enable-vnc --with-iasl=/usr/local/bin/iasl
--with-openssl-dir=/opt/openssl --disable-vmmraw --disable-java --disable-qt
--disable-docs
which fails with a zillion
/usr/local/bin/ld: ssl_init.c:(.text+0x4d): undefined reference to `xxx'
because configure has a line
LIBCRYPTO="${OPENSSLDIR}/lib/libcrypto.a ${OPENSSLDIR}/lib/libssl.a"
with the libs in the wrong order for what ld linker requires : libssl.a has
references to external symbols in
libcrypto.a .
the line should read
either
LIBCRYPTO="${OPENSSLDIR}/lib/libssl.a ${OPENSSLDIR}/lib/libcrypto.a -lpthread
-ldl -lm"
or
LIBCRYPTO="${OPENSSLDIR}/lib/libssl.so ${OPENSSLDIR}/lib/libcrypto.so"
configure runs without error if either --with-openssl-dir= is omitted (assuming
that package is in a standard location) or if --build-libssl is specified.
It is unusual for a package to deliberately choose to link to static libs
rather than dynamic-shared libs so I assume there was some reason for it, so
I don't know what other considerations there may be or what the best
correction is.
Cheers, John Lumby
