OpenSSL 1.1.1b tests fail on Solaris - solution

[John Unsworth]

This seems to be caused by the ongoing saga documented in issues 6912 and 8102. These functions were declared as weak in 1.1.1b.

safestack.h
#  pragma weak OPENSSL_sk_num
#  pragma weak OPENSSL_sk_value
#  pragma weak OPENSSL_sk_new
#  pragma weak OPENSSL_sk_new_null
...

lhash.h
#  pragma weak OPENSSL_LH_new
#  pragma weak OPENSSL_LH_free
#  pragma weak OPENSSL_LH_insert
#  pragma weak OPENSSL_LH_delete
...

Removing these lines allows all the tests to work. I am building static libraries (no-shared) which is presumably why it works for some people out of the box if they are using shared libraries.

Please advise as to the way forward. I note that one other user (see 8102) has reported this too:

Hi,
Sorry if this should have been posted separately.

When i build openssl1.1.1b on solaris , it is successful. But while verifying the version " openssl version" it fails with below error.
ld.so.1: openssl: fatal: relocation error: file /vobs_tools/prgs/src/openssl/solaris64/bin/openssl: symbol OPENSSL_sk_new_null: referenced symbol not found
Killed

The same machine works fine for openssl1.1.1.
So, in 1.1.1b I can observe that OPENSSL_sk_new_null has been defined as below in safestack.h.
pragma weak OPENSSL_sk_new_null
Can this be related ? Am I missing anything while Configure ?

Regards,
John.

This looks like the problem:

ld.so.1: sanitytest: fatal: relocation error: file ../../test/sanitytest: symbol OPENSSL_sk_new_null: referenced symbol not found ../../util/shlib_wrap.sh ../../test/sanitytest => 137 not ok 1 - running sanitytest

#   Failed test 'running sanitytest'
#   at /home/metabld/OpenSSL/openssl-1.1.1b/test/../util/perl/OpenSSL/Test/Simple.pm line 77.
# Looks like you failed 1 test of 1.
Dubious, test returned 1 (wstat 256, 0x100) Failed 1/1 subtests

This results in the same error:
sol-mds-build-01 $ cd apps
sol-mds-build-01 $ ./openssl version
ld.so.1: openssl: fatal: relocation error: file openssl: symbol OPENSSL_sk_new_null: referenced symbol not found

I have built static libraries.

What is the output from:

$ make V=1 TESTS=test_sanity test
