1. We are working on Qt Fancybrowser application. In that https websites are not loading
2. Qt geeks and web search basis , they suggests that
   By default, the OpenSSL support will be disabled in the Qt SDK. So we have to build the Qt SDK with OpenSSL support and compile the fancy browser source in that SDK will solve this problem
3. So we did the following steps
   a. Downloaded the "qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.4.tar.gz"
   b. ./configure -embedded arm -xplatform qws/linux-arm-g++ -qt-kbd-linuxinput -qt-kbd-qvfb -qt-mouse-tslib -webkit -openssl -opensource -verbose -R /usr/local/tslib/lib/ -L/usr/local/ssl/lib/ -I/usr/local/ssl/include/
   c. make
   d. make install
   e. After this the Qt SDK is installed in /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-Embedded-4.8.4/
   f. We set QT SDK path as qmake path in the above compiled and tested the bonary in our board
4. Now also we are having the same issue

Please let us know the root cause and is there any mistakes we are doing. Please help to resolve this problem

So I add the "-openssl -I /yourCrossCompilerInstallFolder/include"
The include path behind the configuration
Then the configure will be ok, so you can make it successfully.

The problem is that your linker (arm-none-linux-gnueabi/bin/ld) cannot find your libssl.so file.
Try defining the QMAKE_LIBS_NETWORK environment variable to /path/to/lib/directory.

What's funny is that this happens on make install, don't you do make on its own first?

Also, I think -openssl and -openssl-linked are redundant, but I'm not sure...

I was talking about the "configure" script in the source directory. It's not so difficult to understand what the different switches do if you can read some bash...

./configure -embedded arm -xplatform qws/linux-arm-g++ -prefix /sdcard/Qt4.7Miniv2 -openssl -openssl-linked -qt-mouse-tslib --enable-shared -little-endian -webkit -no-qt3support -no-cups -no-largefile -optimized-qmake -nomake tools -qt-sql-sqlite -no-3dnow -system-zlib -qt-gif -qt-libtiff -qt-libpng -qt-libmng -qt-libjpeg -no-opengl -gtkstyle -no-openvg -no-xshape -no-xsync -no-xrandr -qt-freetype -qt-gfx-linuxfb -qt-kbd-tty -qt-kbd-linuxinput -qt-mouse-tslib -qt-mouse-linuxinput -nomake examples -nomake demos

But on step make install appears this error:
/usr/local/arm/4.3.2/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/4.3.2/../../../../arm-none-linux-gnueabi/bin/ld: cannot find -lssl
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [../../lib/libQtNetwork.so.4.7.4] Error 1

@pierrevr -- of which files you're talking about. For platforms embedded.? many Thanks,

It works! :)

For your info, I used openssl-1.0.1 with my previous post instructions. Only changed LIB and INCLUDE dirs, pointing now to cross-compiled openssl dirs.

Many thanks!

Also, I only configured with -openssl for run-time openssl support, not linked.

@mariagiraldo:
You can use -openssl with Linux. (I always use the configure file itself for documentation purposes, it's more complete & accurate...)

I am trying to cross-compile Qt 4.8.0 with ssl support following these instructions:

http://developer.qt.nokia.com/doc/qt-4.8/ssl.html

I have correctly installed openssl 0.9.8 in my host machine (through synaptic), where LIB and INCLUDE dirs are over /usr/lib/ssl and /usr/include/openssl respectively.

My config command is:
@OPENSSL_LIBS='-L/usr/lib/ssl -lssl -lcrypto' ./configure -embedded arm -xplatform qws/linux-arm-g++ -prefix /usr/local/Qt -qt-mouse-tslib -little-endian -qt-gfx-transformed -qt-sql-sqlite -system-zlib -qt-libtiff -qt-libpng -qt-libmng -qt-libjpeg -openssl-linked -v@

And I obtain these error:
@openssl.cpp:42:30: error: openssl/opensslv.h: No such file or directory
openssl.cpp:45:4: error: #error "OpenSSL >= 0.9.7 is required"
make: *** [openssl.o] Error 1
OpenSSL disabled.
OpenSSL support cannot be enabled due to functionality tests!@

It seems openssl is not detected at compile time.

What am I doing wrong?
