openssl port status
by Tim Hatton

Rate this Message:
Hi,
I just wanted to check what the status of the ecos port of openssl at ftp://ftp.ecoscentric.com/pub/contrib/openssl-1.9.6b.epk is. Is this the latest version around (it seems to be reasonably old, but they may not be a bad thing). Should I be looking anywhere else for a later version? Also, a specific question about the port: is there any reason why the IDEA encryption algorithm (which is patented) is required in order to enable the SSL API? Without SSL API I can't do anything, which sort of implies that I have to enable IDEA, but I don't want to use patented algorithms. Have I misunderstood something fundamental here? Best regards, Tim |

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the quick reply. Just to put it in context I am building this as part of eCos via the (windows GUI) eCos config tool. In there it forces me to define IDEA if I enable SSL API. I've tried rebuilidng with IDEA enabled in the config tool but with your suggested -DNO_IDEA as a build option and it seems to build OK, i.e. with the SSL API and (I assume) without IDEA. So, I guess that's a good work around, but I suspect the package's CDL is wrong then. It would be good if someone could confirm that's all it is. Thanks Tim

It would be good if someone could confirm that's all it is. It looks like it is wrong, however i cannot confirm it. I suggest you edit the cdl file, remove the requires statement, build and test. If it works, passes all the test cases etc, please let me know.

That is the version i ported donkey's years ago. I just needed some of the encryption protocols at the time, so never tested ssl. However people have used ssl and not reported any problems. It has not been updated since then because the project i used it in is long since dead and nobody else has contributed a newer version. If somebody does want to update it, feel free.

Hi Andrew, Deleting " requires CYGPKG_OPENSSL_IDEA" from "cdl_component CYGPKG_OPENSSL_SSL" and making the change discussed here: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/ecos-discuss/2006-08/msg00120.html allowed me to compile openssl. So far, so good (I can't readily run test cases on my platform so I can't vouch for them). It seems a little disconcerting that it needed a patch and a CDL change to even get it to compile though.
