To whom it may concern.
I am trying to build openssl-1.1.1-c on AIX using the xlc compiler. I know
Linux quite well, but only have passing knowledge of AIX.
This is the system. (The name is sanitized - I am paranoid about security).
bash-4.2$ uname -a
AIX sanitized 1 6 00CD1ECE4C00
bash-4.2$
I have found the c99 compiler and the xlc compiler seem to work best. The
arguments produced by the following configuration command are not compatible
with gcc.
./config -static no-ec no-mdc2 no-rc5 no-idea --openssldir=/path_sanitized
I would prefer to use the xlc compiler.
(I am still trying to figure out how to get the compiler version. "-V" does not
work).
I was getting many linker errors, but I have fixed the Makefile to include
certain libraries. Now I just have one unresolved external, which is
"ecp_nistz256_mul_mont".
This is the output of the link failure.
/usr/local/packages/vac_remote/9-sept2008/./usr/vac/bin/.orig/xlc: 1501-210 (W)
command option t contains an incorrect subargument
ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .ecp_nistz256_mul_mont
ld: 0711-345 Use the -bloadmap or -bnoquiet option to obtain more information.

make[2]: Leaving directory
`/scratch/bhallaha/view_storage/bhallaha_o2_19_18_1_ossl/reliaty/web/openssl-1.1.1c'
I see a perl script related to the needed module and a number of assembly
language files, and I presume only one is for AIX.
I've tried adding -DECP_NISTZ256_ASM to the compile lines, but I still get
that unresolved external.
Does anyone know what I need to do? I'll eventually figure this out, but I'd
like this to work as soon as possible.
Regards,
Bill
