To follow up with a bit more detail The version of OpenSSL is 1.0.2e. The exact steps inside of my Linux environment that I take are 1) log in as su. 2) run "make clean" 3) run "sh config zlib" the last line logged from this command is "Configured for linux-elf" 4) run "make" the make gets as far as make[2]: Entering directory `/home/rhermann/src/OpenSSLWork/test' ( :; LIBDEPS="${LIBDEPS:--L.. -lssl -L.. -lcrypto -ldl -lz}"; LDCMD="${LDCMD:-gcc}"; LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS:--DZLIB -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:=ideatest} ideatest.o ${LIBDEPS} ) make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/rhermann/src/OpenSSLWork/test' gcc -I.. -I../include -DZLIB -DOPENSSL_THREADS -D_REENTRANT -DDSO_DLFCN -DHAVE_DLFCN_H -Wa,--noexecstack -DL_ENDIAN -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -Wall -DOPENSSL_BN_ASM_PART_WORDS -DOPENSSL_IA32_SSE2 -DOPENSSL_BN_ASM_MONT -DOPENSSL_BN_ASM_GF2m -DSHA1_ASM -DSHA256_ASM -DSHA512_ASM -DMD5_ASM -DRMD160_ASM -DAES_ASM -DVPAES_ASM -DWHIRLPOOL_ASM -DGHASH_ASM -c -o md2test.o md2test.c make[2]: Entering directory `/home/rhermann/src/OpenSSLWork/test' ( :; LIBDEPS="${LIBDEPS:--L.. -lssl -L.. -lcrypto -ldl -lz}"; LDCMD="${LDCMD:-gcc}"; LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS:--DZLIB -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 ${LIBDEPS} ) /usr/lib/gcc/i686-redhat-linux/4.4.7/../../../crt1.o: In function `_start': (.text+0x18): undefined reference to `main' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [link_app.] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/rhermann/src/OpenSSLWork/test' make[1]: *** [md2test] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/rhermann/src/OpenSSLWork/test' make: *** [build_tests] Error 1 it does make it through build bntest.o, ectest.o , ecdsatest,o, ecdhtest.o, and ideatest.o On 2/15/2016 1:59 PM, Rob Hermann wrote: > > I'm attempting to build OpenSSL on a Linux box, when I issue the make > from my OpenSSL directory (OpenSSLWork as seen here), It builds all > the subdirectories under crypto, > then proceeds to > > OpenSSLWork/engines > OpenSSLWork/ssl > OpenSSLWork/apps > > OpenSSLWork/test > > > making all in test... > make[1]: Entering directory `/home/rhermann/src/OpenSSLWork/test' > make[2]: Entering directory `/home/rhermann/src/OpenSSLWork/test' > ( :; LIBDEPS="${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...
