It's possible to build 64-bit shared libraries by running 'env OBJECT_MODE=64 make', but we need more elegant solution. Preferably one supporting even gcc shared builds. See RT#463 for background information. + +* Problems building shared libraries on SCO OpenServer Release 5.0.6 + with gcc 2.95.3 + +The symptoms appear when running the test suite, more specifically +test/ectest, with the following result: + +OSSL_LIBPATH="`cd ..; pwd`"; LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$OSSL_LIBPATH:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"; DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="$OSSL_LIBPATH:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH"; SHLIB_PATH="$OSSL_LIBPATH:$SHLIB_PATH"; LIBPATH="$OSSL_LIBPATH:$LIBPATH"; if [ "debug-sco5-gcc" = "Cygwin" ]; then PATH="${LIBPATH}:$PATH"; fi; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH SHLIB_PATH LIBPATH PATH; ./ectest +ectest.c:186: ABORT + +The cause of the problem seems to be that isxdigit(), called from +BN_hex2bn(), returns 0 on a perfectly legitimate hex digit. Further +investigation shows that any of the isxxx() macros return 0 on any +input. A direct look in the information array that the isxxx() use, +called __ctype, shows that it contains all zeroes... + +Taking a look at the newly created libcrypto.so with nm, one can see +that the variable __ctype is defined in libcrypto's .bss (which +explains why it is filled with zeroes): + +$ nm -Pg libcrypto.so | grep __ctype +__ctype B 0011659c +__ctype2 U + +Curiously, __ctype2 is undefined, in spite of being declared in +/usr/include/ctype.h in exactly the same way as __ctype. + +Any information helping to solve this issue would be deeply +appreciated. + +NOTE: building non-shared doesn't come with this problem. |
