  • 1.  AIX - Install Libressl package

    Posted Thu April 21, 2022 05:25 AM
    Hi Experts,

    I would need to install Libressl package on AIX Machine. I followed the instructions mentioned in git repo. Currently receiving the below error while executing configure command.

    Could you please advise, if libressl is available as rpm for AIX or suggest workaround to fix the issue. 

    Error: 
    config.status: error: in `/tmp/libressl/libressl-3.4.2':
    config.status: error: Something went wrong bootstrapping makefile fragments
    for automatic dependency tracking. If GNU make was not used, consider
    re-running the configure script with MAKE="gmake" (or whatever is
    necessary). You can also try re-running configure with the
    '--disable-dependency-tracking' option to at least be able to build
    the package (albeit without support for automatic dependency tracking).
    See `config.log' for more details

    Did you install open source build tools mentioned in the instructions and gmake from the AIX toolbox and set the path /opt/freeware/bin ? 
    If you have installed those tools then export MAKE='gmake' and then run configure again.

    Hi Sanket,

    Thank you for assistance. I have installed gmake now and executed export MAKE='gmake'. The configure command has executed without any errors.

    But the next command "make" command has been failing with below error.  Could you please advise on the workaround.

    # make
    Making all in crypto
    gmake all-am

    Stop.

    From the error output it looks like the package is looking for a library that provides vsyslog_r API/symbol.
    Not sure which library provides this API.

    Hi Sanket,

    Sorry i was unable to find the API details. Just to give a try, commented the below line on crypto/cryptlib.c and retried the installation.

    /*vsyslog_r(LOG_INFO|LOG_LOCAL2, &sdata, fmta, ap);*/

    The installation passed without errors and libressl package appears installed under /usr/local/bin directory and seems to be working. 


    # /usr/local/bin/openssl version
    LibreSSL 3.4.2


    Thanks a lot for your support and guidance on resolving the issue.
