error : no such file or directory : 'source/libtomcrypt/mac/libtomcrypt.a'

Where are your OpenSSL libraries installed ?

Amritaaa

its installed here - /usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.2p

I just did brew install openssl to confirm if I have installed openssl or not, I noticed few other things in the terminal logs -

This formula is keg-only, which means it was not symlikned into /usr/local, because apple has deprecated use of openssl in favor of its own TLS and crypto libraries.
For compilers to find this software you may need to set :
LDFLAGS : - L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib
CPPFLAGS: - L/use/local/opt/openssl/include

Do I need to set these flage? If yes, where and which file do I need to add this change?

SGaist

Yes, that's what Qt is using for some releases now: the SecureTransport framework.
That should be in the LIBS and INCLUDESvariables.

You do realise that you are already using LIBS and INCLUDEPATH in your .pro file ?

Amritaaa

Oh yes, I have added that in .pro file. I am sorry for the stupid question.
But do you have any idea why it still gives error - library not found for -lssl?

SGaist

Please show your complete .pro file.

And where exactly is your libssl located and if you use the links from /usr/local/opt check that they are pointing to something valid.

To ensure the existence of libssl

" ls -l /usr/local/opt/openssl" gives the output -

         lrwxr-xr-x 1 katopz admin 24 Aug 20 15:21 /usr/local/opt/openssl -> ../Cellar/openssl/1.0.2p

"whereis openssl" gives output -
/usr/bin/openssl

SGaist

I don’t see any line pointing to /use/local/opt for the includes nor the libraries.

Amritaaa

I have added those library files inside my project folder and folder structure is like -

source ---> openssl ----> mac ---->x64 , libcrypto.a , libssl.a
(inside x64 folder also 2 files ae there - libcrypto.a , libssl.a )

In .pro file it is mentioned like -

macx{
INCLUDEPATH += ./source/openssl
./source/openssl/mac

LIBS += -L./source/openssl/mac/x64 -lssl \
        -L./source/openssl/mac/x64 -lcrypto

}

SGaist

Then you should rather use $$PWD to ensure you have the correct full path.

Amritaaa

@SGaist : Tried $$PWD as well,, didn't help..

SGaist

Do you see any of these paths in the generated Makefile ?
