Configure ERROR in Qt 5.8.0 Win + VC2013 + SSL + OpenSSL

qDebug

@qDebug said in Configure ERROR in Qt 5.8.0 Win + VC2013 + SSL + OpenSSL:

I used OpenSSL 1.1.0e and also an older version 1.1.0c - same errors.

I guess the problem may not be the version of Openssl, because the configure script does not find the files, no matter what version. :(

SGaist

Did you add -I and -L options to configure so it can find the OpenSSL headers and libraries ?

qDebug

@SGaist Yes.

SGaist

Did you check that you are using an OpenSSL version that's also built with VS2013 ?

qDebug

@SGaist Yes. All version of Openssl i tested got VC libs and at least one i used in a VC project and compiled ok.

But why even care if the error messages tells:

> .\openssl.cpp(40) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'openssl/opensslv.h': No such file or directory

If the testing script does not even find the opensslv.h why care about the openssl version at all? From my technical understanding i have to fix this issue first before i may even get into the version. Please correct me if i am wrong.

Thanks!

Just saw something, you should either pass your paths with double backslashes or use the forward slash unix notation. Single backslashes are used to escape the character that follows. IIRC, the configure script should be resistant to that but it still worth doing things right.

@qDebug you should use openssl 1.0.2h (or i,j,k) not openssl 1.1.0...... see http://wiki.qt.io/Qt_5.8_Tools_and_Versions

qDebug

@SGaist did try that of course too. Just now with openssl 1.0.2k like

configure -mp -static -static-runtime -debug-and-release -prefix "C:\Qt\Qt5.8.0-Static" -I "C:\\Qt\\openssl-1.0.2k\\include" -L "C:\\Qt\\openssl-1.0.2k\\lib" -platform win32-msvc2013 -ssl -openssl -qt-zlib -qt-pcre -qt-libpng -qt-libjpeg -qt-freetype -opengl desktop -sql-sqlite -sql-odbc -opensource -confirm-license -make libs -nomake tools -nomake examples -nomake tests

and

configure -mp -static -static-runtime -debug-and-release -prefix "C:\Qt\Qt5.8.0-Static" -I "C:/Qt/openssl-1.0.2k/include" -L "C:/Qt/openssl-1.0.2k/lib" -platform win32-msvc2013 -ssl -openssl -qt-zlib -qt-pcre -qt-libpng -qt-libjpeg -qt-freetype -opengl desktop -sql-sqlite -sql-odbc -opensource -confirm-license -make libs -nomake tools -nomake examples -nomake tests

Openssl not found.

@stephane78 since i compiled older versions of Qt (5.7.0) using the same openssl version i thought it should also work with 5.8.0. But right now, i used latest 1.0.2k but since the script won't find any files, the result is the same.

Maybe we can take a shortcut here and some one may be so kind and post how it will work for sure?

Thanks!

qDebug

Well, since there is no simple solution i guess, can anyone tell me please where i can disable the check scrip?

Thanks!

@qDebug Just don't pass -ssl -openssl to configure?

qDebug

@jsulm I did not exactly mention it before but i really need ssl and openssl support (-;

Deleting the config.cache file solved it for me.

qDebug

@kfrosty Thank you! Did work for me too! :)
