I'm attempting to build OpenSSL on a Linux box, when I issue the make from my OpenSSL directory (OpenSSLWork as seen here), It builds all the subdirectories under crypto, then proceeds to OpenSSLWork/engines OpenSSLWork/ssl OpenSSLWork/apps OpenSSLWork/test making all in test... make[1]: Entering directory `/home/rhermann/src/OpenSSLWork/test' make[2]: Entering directory `/home/rhermann/src/OpenSSLWork/test' ( :; LIBDEPS="${LIBDEPS:--L.. -lssl -L.. -lcrypto -ldl}"; LDCMD="${LDCMD:-gcc}"; LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS:--DOPENSSL_THREADS -D_REENTRANT -DDSO_DLFCN -DHAVE_DLFCN_H -Wa,--noexecstack -DL_ENDIAN -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -Wall -DOPENSSL_BN_ASM_PART_WORDS -DOPENSSL_IA32_SSE2 -DOPENSSL_BN_ASM_MONT -DOPENSSL_BN_ASM_GF2m -DSHA1_ASM -DSHA256_ASM -DSHA512_ASM -DMD5_ASM -DRMD160_ASM -DAES_ASM -DVPAES_ASM -DWHIRLPOOL_ASM -DGHASH_ASM}"; LIBPATH=`for x in $LIBDEPS; do echo $x; done | sed -e 's/^ *-L//;t' -e d | uniq`; LIBPATH=`echo $LIBPATH | sed -e 's/ /:/g'`; LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LIBPATH:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${LDCMD} ${LDFLAGS} -o ${APPNAME:=md2test} md2test.o ${LIBDEPS} ) _/usr/lib/gcc/i686-redhat-linux/4.4.7/../../../crt1.o: In function `_start':__ __(.text+0x18): undefined reference to `main'__ _collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [link_app.] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/rhermann/src/OpenSSLWork/test' make[1]: *** [md2test] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/rhermann/src/OpenSSLWork/test' make: *** [build_tests] Error 1 I know this means I'm missing the main() function the entry point for all C programs. I'm trying to build OpenSSL using the procedures outlined in the INSTALL document, Has anyone seen this before and if so, what have you done to "fix" it ? I've tried -nostartfiles as a linker option and that did not help. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
