Hello list,
Since I've upgraded to FreeBSD 12, I've linker issues when I try to
build my own source code which is depending on OpenSSL library.
It's claiming that there are undefined references to SSL_library_init or
SSLv23_server_method for instance.
I detected the OpenSSL libraries using the FindOpenSSL.cmake file in
/usr/local/share/cmake/Modules. It returned /usr/lib32/libssl.so and
/usr/lib32/libcrypto.so.
Cmake is for some reason translating the found libraries to the `-lssl`
and `-lcrypto` linker flags. This seem to default back to
/usr/lib/libssl.so and /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.
These files point by default to:
/usr/lib/libssl.so -> libssl.so.111
/usr/lib/libcrypto.so -> /lib/libcrypto.so.111
But when I check which libraries have been provided by OpenSSL package,
I get a different outcome:
$ pkg list openssl | egrep 'lib(ssl|crypto).so'
/usr/local/lib/libcrypto.so
/usr/local/lib/libcrypto.so.9
/usr/local/lib/libssl.so
/usr/local/lib/libssl.so.9
$
These files are different to what openssl package provided.
When I replace these symlinks to point to the .so files provided by the
openssl package, building and running the application works as expected. So:
/usr/lib/libssl.so -> /usr/local/lib/libssl.so
/usr/lib/libcrypto.so -> /usr/local/lib/libcrypto.so
I've read that FreeBSD 12 provides it's own SSL libraries and there is
the possibility to edit the /etc/make.conf to make the ports building
against the "real" OpenSSL library.
However I often need to build the latest source code from GitHub, so
that I cannot make use of the ports approach (I tend to use the pkg
management).
What is the best way to use the "real" OpenSSL libraries when building
custom source code on FreeBSD?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
