#305 closed Bug / Defect ( fixed )

configure script fails with static openssl libraries

Reported by: psagers Owned by:

Component: Building / Compiling Version: OpenVPN 2.3.1 (Community Ed)
Severity: Not set (select this one, unless your'e a OpenVPN developer) Keywords: configure crypto SSL_CTX_new

Description

Steps:

  1. Build openssl with only static libraries (./Configure no-shared ...).
  2. Configure openvpn against the static openssl libraries.

Expect: Openssl is correctly detected.

Actual: Configure fails to detect openssl.

When openssl is used as static libraries, libssl can't be linked without libcrypto to go along with it. The openssl check attempts to find SSL_CTX_new with only -lssl. Fix is to add -lcrypto to the relevant "other libraries" argument in configure.ac.
