[Solved] Qt 4.8.5 QNetwork/SSL Compile Errors

[Donny3000]

Hello All,

I'm trying to compile Qt4.8.5 embedded linux from source with OpenSSL enabled for QNetwork, but I keep running into these Ssl errors (pastebin "link":http://pastebin.com/ZazbPs2S since the Ssl errors are lengthy). I'm basically configuring Qt fro an ARM Cortex A-8 platform. This is the output of my configure results:

Does anyone know what might be going wrong? I'm at loss right now because I done everything that I know of to try and resolve this issue.

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Might be a silly question, but do you have openssl for ARM and are you sure it was detected properly ?

[Donny3000]

Thanks for your respose SGaist. I do have OpenSSL for ARM cross-compiled and I believe it is being detected correctly. If I go into config.tests/unix/openssl from the source root folder I see that the openssl configure test program has indeed been built, although it's built for ARM, not my x86_64 host (which I believe is to be expected). I believe this is why OpenSSL support.......yes (run-time) is present in the configuration summary.

The first time I compiled the source, I didn't have OpenSSL and the Qt configuration summary didn't mention OpenSSL Support and Qt compiled successfully. But, now that I have OpenSSL compiled for ARM and it appears that Qt has found OpenSSL (per the configuration summary), Qt doesn't seem to build.

[Donny3000]

Well, after performing a complete clean (make uninstall, rm -rf of install directories and Qt source), the build successfully complied the QNetwork library (with OpenSSL support), in addition to the rest of the Qt libraries. So, my problem has been solved. I guess some lingering configurations was causing my problems. Thanks again SGaist for chiming in to assist with my issue.

You're welcome !

That's one of the rule when reconfiguring Qt: you have to clean before calling configure. If you use out of source build you can simply delete what's inside the folder.

Since you have it working now, please update the thread prepending [solved] so other forum users may know a solution has been found :)
