4. Qt from Source, SSL linking

Qt from Source, SSL linking


  • Hi,

    I just rebuilt 5.10.0 from source on windows and everything is working fine except my Ssl.
    Previously, I was using the Qt installation package and was not building from source.
    The Ssl classes used to work fine with this installer.

    Now I have theses error:
    sslCfg uses undefined class 'QSslConfiguration'
    'QSslCertificate': undeclared identifier

    I thought the default configuration when building Qt building was :
    QtNetwork dynamically opening OpenSSL libs (-openssl; default)

    Do I need to rebuilt with -openssl-linked ?
    Usually, I just want to place the ssl .dll inside the release folder, but now I can't compile my project since I use some SSL code in my project:

    logs:
    QObject::connect: No such signal QNetworkAccessManager::sslErrors(QNetworkReply*,QList<QSslError>)
    QObject::connect: No such signal QNetworkAccessManager::sslErrors(QNetworkReply*,QList<QSslError>)
    Problem getting version... "Protocol "https" is unknown"

  • I have downloaded "openssl-1.1.0f-vs2015"
    I will try to rebuilt Qt with this linked. in the configure option

    Qt Network:
    getifaddrs() ........................... no
    IPv6 ifname ............................ no
    libproxy ............................... no
    OpenSSL ................................ no
    Qt directly linked to OpenSSL ........ no

    configure -opensource -confirm-license -release -webengine-pepper-plugins -webengine-proprietary-codecs OPENSSL_LIBS="-llibcryptoMD -llibsslMD" -openssl-linked -I C:\Dropbox\openssl-1.1.0f-vs2015\include -L C:\Dropbox\openssl-1.1.0f-vs2015\lib

    ERROR: Feature 'openssl-linked' was enabled, but the pre-condition '!features.securetransport && libs.openssl' failed.

    ERROR: Feature 'openssl' was enabled, but the pre-condition '!features.securetransport && (features.openssl-linked || libs.openssl_headers)' failed.

    Any help appreciated, I am trying to use openssl-1.1.0f

    Hi,

    You should add the -v option to see exactly what fails when the OpenSSL tests are run.

  • Hey SGaist, I'm gonna try older open-ssl libs since I think this is related:
    http://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/interest/2017-May/027290.html

    Thanks, not much more stuff shown with -v

  • Seems like openssl 1.1 + is not enough

    New version:
    configure -opensource -confirm-license -release -webengine-pepper-plugins -webengine-proprietary-codecs OPENSSL_LIBS="-llibcrypto -llibssl" -openssl-linked -I C:\Dropbox\openssl-1.1.0f-vs2015\include -L C:\Dropbox\openssl-1.1.0f-vs2015\lib

    Checking for getifaddrs()... no
    Checking for IPv6 ifname... no
    Checking for OpenSSL... no
    Checking for OpenSSL Headers... no
    Checking for OpenSSL v. 1.1 support... yes

    Old version:
    configure -opensource -confirm-license -release -webengine-pepper-plugins -webengine-proprietary-codecs OPENSSL_LIBS="-lssleay32 -llibeay32" -openssl-linked -I C:\Dropbox\OpenSSL-win32\include -L C:\Dropbox\OpenSSL-win32\lib

    Checking for getifaddrs()... no
    Checking for IPv6 ifname... no
    Checking for OpenSSL... yes
    Checking for OpenSSL v. 1.1 support... no
    Checking for XCB >= 1.5 (core)... no

    Think if I continue the build I will be okay to use SSL 1.1? (QSslSocket, etc.) will work?
    Any way to speed compilation of the whole Qt ? using -mp flag with VS2015? I find making mistake takes a long time haha :)
    Love how easy it is to build Qt, happy that I learn it

    Do you have several version of OpenSSL installed ?

    It seems to find it but not a 1.1 version which is a bit surprising.

  • Finally I decided to build qt with 1.0 ssl (first command line up here) and it worked well.
    I don't have SSL installed, I just use a downloaded version and link it when building qt (not on my system path).
    Now building qt for osx. I am doing two build
    one with -no-openssl -securetransport
    and the other without theses 2 flags.
    Not sure if SSL classes are gonna work (QSslCertificate, QSslSocket), will try both kit in QtCreator and see.

    Thanks for your help!
