Re: static linking libssl and libcrypto

ldd libAPP.so does NOT have any reference to libSSL.so or for that matter any SSL library. Which is why I had to use nm to check for SSL related symbols

To check if you are linked statically or dynamically, what does ldd tell you? (ldd libAPP.so) Your library should not have a dependency on libssl.so or libcrypto.so if you are linked statically.

Subject: static linking libssl and libcrypto

 

I am trying to build a shared library that internally links openssl and crypto libraries statically so I can use it in a production environment. To that end I am using the following Makefile

APPBASE=/home/AB/Documents/APP/APP_2.17.0
OPENSSL1.0.2p_INSTALL_LOC=/home/AB/Documents/APP/OpenSSL-1.0.2p-installation
CC=gcc
CFLAGS= -Wall -g -O -fPIC
RM= rm -f
.PHONY: all clean
 
src="" *Generic/*.c *Linux/*.c)
$(info source=$(src))
 
#we use the custom compiled openssl version
#and NOT the one available on the system
#INC=-I/usr/include/openssl
INC+=-I$(OPENSSL1.0.2p_INSTALL_LOC)/include/openssl
INC+=$(foreach d,$(incdir),-I$d)
$(info includes=$(INC))
 
LIB=-L$(OPENSSL1.0.2p_INSTALL_LOC)/lib
#LIB=-llibssl -llibcrypto
LIB+=-lssl -lcrypto
$(info links=$(LIB))
#LIB+=-L/usr/lib/
 
obj=$(src:.c=.o)
all: libAPP.so
clean:
    $(RM) *.o *.so
    $(shell find $(APPBASE) -type f -iname "*.o" -exec rm -rf {} \;)
 
.c.o:
    ${CC} -static ${CFLAGS} $(INC) -c $< $(LIB) -o $@
 
libAPP.so: $(obj)
    $(LINK.c) -shared $^ -o $@

-lcrypto -lz -ldl -static-libgcc

 

but it doesn't seem to change the size of the generated so file. On checking for references to SSL in this so file, I see there are a total of 87 entries

 

nm libAPP.so | grep -i "ssl" | wc -l

87

 

whereas listing only the global symbols from libssl.a tells me it has 1113 globally defined symbols.

nm -g ../OpenSSL-1.0.2p-installation/lib/libssl.a | grep -i "ssl" | wc -l

1113

 

I do not know if libSSL got indeed linked statically or not. Could someone please shed some light on it?
