static linking with openssh 8.2p1

Closed this issue 4 years ago · 4 comments

Trying to link statically link openssh 8.2p1 using libxcrypt instead of glibc's crypt fails:

/pkg/bin/ld: /usr/lib/libcrypt.a(libcrypt_la-crypt-static.o): in function crypt': /home/gzp/build.base/libxcrypt/src/4.4.12/lib/crypt-static.c:29: multiple definition of xcrypt'; openbsd-compat/libopenbsd-compat.a(xcrypt.o):/home/gzp/src/openssh-8.2p1/openbsd-compat/xcrypt.c:101: first defined here

Any way to fix this?

I think this is a bug in openssh, but some of our compatibility code may be making it worse. Could you please send us the complete contents of config.log from your openssh build?

Sorry for the delay.
Instead of attaching the old config.log, I was picking up your commit and made an errorless build with the new libcrypt.a.
I'm confirming, the problem solved, thanks.

@gzpapp Before I close this bug, could you please re-check that commit 823437d corrects the issue? fea80d9 includes a bunch of other work that is still experimental and it's possible that I have not pulled out the part that actually solves your problem.

@zackw Yes, commit 823437d corrects the problem, openssh 8.2p1 compiles fine statically with libxcrypt. Thank you!
