Mailing List Archive: Libgcrypt Anomalies

Hello GNU crypto developers. I know you are working for free, so I will not be upset if you don't have time to respond to me. I'm working on a small project that needs some 3DES routines. I'm hoping I will find them in Libcrypt. The environment is SunOS 5.6.

I downloaded libgcrypt-1.1.7.tar and expanded it to create the libgcrypt-1.1.7 directory. I began following the instructions in INSTALL. Configure seemed to run OK. I had two problems in Make:

1. The first pass failed because the ar command wasn't found. I dodged this one by copying /usr/ccs/bin/ar to /usr/local/bin/ar.

2. The second pass failed with this error:

gcc -g -O2 -Wall -o .libs/testapi testapi.o ./.libs/libgcrypt.so -lnsl -lsocket -R/usr/local/lib
Undefined first referenced
symbol in file
_gcry_rndunix_constructor ./.libs/libgcrypt.so
ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to .libs/testapi
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I found that _gcry_rndunix_constructor is a function in ./cipher/construct.c, which is automatically generated by Configure.

I don't see any way to fix this problem. If you have time, any help will be appreciated.

That should not happend. litool shoudl take care of this. In the
meantime we have changed some minor things and updated the libtool, so
a newer version of libgcrypt might solve your problem. The current
one is 1.1.9. Today or tomorrow I will release 1.1.10 which fixes a
problem with shared libraries under i386 and Sparc.

If you have still problems please post a build log incluing the
configure and make run.
