Re: Problem in trying EVP Key Derivation example in openssl

[Dr Paul Dale <paul.dale@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The example is wrong.

The KDF API changed recently to better match the way the rest of the project is moving.

I’ll update the example.

Hey all,

I'm new to openssl community and I don't know much about it. I tried to use openssl on my linux machine. I clone openssl git repo and executed these commands as mentioned in the file "INSTALL": "./config", "make", "make test", "make install". It went alright. Then I tried an "EVP KEY Derivation" example from this link: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php?title=EVP_Key_Derivation&redirect=no#targetText=HKDF%20was%20designed%20by%20Krawczyk,from%20the%20OpenSSL%20man%20pages. But it gives me some error for undeclared function. 

~/openssl$ gcc -std=c99 test.c -o test.exe -l:libcrypto.a -pthread -ldl
test.c: In function ‘main’:

     if (EVP_KDF_ctrl(kctx, EVP_KDF_CTRL_SET_MD, EVP_sha256()) <= 0) {
         ^~~~~~~~~~~~

Is there any problem with the installation or am I missing something else?

Your help is much appreciated.

Thanks & Regards,
