[openssl-users] OpenSSL Version Definitions Issue on ARM

[Andrei Danaila]

Hi,

I am attempting to crosscompile openssl for ARM and am having some issues when linking an external application to the crosscompiled OpenSSL version.

I am compiling OpenSSL like so:
./Configure linux-generic32 shared \
     --prefix=/openssl_libs \
     --openssldir=/openssl_libs \
     --cross-compile-prefix=/usr/local/gcc-linaro-6.3.1-2017.02-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-
make depend
make -j8
make install

What I am finding however is that there is no version definitions in the generated .so. This causes any other application that I link against the generated .so, to expect the exact same version as the .so, in this case lib.so.1.0.0.

objdump --private-headers libssl.so.1.0.0

Version References:
  required from libc.so.6:
    0x0d696914 0x00 02 GLIBC_2.4

Whereas, if I look on the OpenSSL library which ships on my ubuntu box, I see:
Version definitions:
1 0x01 0x09bbb660 libssl.so.1.0.0
2 0x00 0x066a2b20 OPENSSL_1.0.0
3 0x00 0x066a2b21 OPENSSL_1.0.1
        OPENSSL_1.0.0 
4 0x00 0x06a2b214 OPENSSL_1.0.1d
        OPENSSL_1.0.1 
5 0x00 0x066a2b22 OPENSSL_1.0.2
        OPENSSL_1.0.1d 
6 0x00 0x06a2b2e7 OPENSSL_1.0.2g
        OPENSSL_1.0.2

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
