Can't build under windows-x86

Question

Can't build under windows-x86

justnoxx opened this issue 9 years ago · 13 comments

Hello!
I have following issue.
I've built all required libraries for net::ssh2 compilation(openssl, zlib, libssh2), but can't build Net::SSH2 itself.

My OS is windows server 2003 x86.
When makefile were generated, I've impossible to make with following error(dmake):

C:\build\Net-SSH2-0.56>dmake
dmake:  makefile:  line 436:  Error: -- A non AUGMAKE meta target must not be mixed with AUGMAKE meta targets, offending target [SSH2.obj]

nmake:

C:\build\Net-SSH2-0.56>nmake -f Makefile

I will look at this and update the windows build instructions.

Can you tell me please, which version of Perl are you using, which version of mingw and msys etc.

Answer 2 · 2016-01-11T10:09:34.000Z

I have 2 perls,
Older one, 5.8.8, and newer one: 5.22.0(strawberry)
I've tried to build that with vcpp, because on my older perl(5.8.8) this module was built without mingw, so, I trying to understand, how it was built.

Answer 3 · 2016-01-11T23:48:49.000Z

Okay, I've switched to dmake for my perls and tried to do all things from the beginning, on older tag v057_03. With no luck, but right now errors are following:

What's wrong?

Answer 4 · 2016-01-12T01:11:27.000Z

Did you edit the Makefile.PL to add the paths to the libssh2 and openssl that you compiled?

Answer 5 · 2016-01-12T07:52:02.000Z

In provided guide present a section with paths to these libraries:

my $extra_libs = 'c:/build_minGW/zlib/lib/libz.a c:/build_minGW/openssl-1.0.1p/lib/libssl.a c:/build_minGW/openssl-1.0.1p/lib/libcrypto.a ';

I've added this one to check:

$extra_libs .= 'c:/build_minGW/libssh2-1.6.0/src/.libs/libssh2.a';

Also, I was able to achieve the same error as I have without mingw, only with visual c++.
Looks like guide contains some wrong/outdated information.

For example, I was not able to build libssh like that:

    ./buildconf
    ./configure --with-openssl --with-libz \
        --with-libssl-prefix=/c/Users/rkitover/src/openssl-1.0.1c \
        --with-libz-prefix=/c/Users/rkitover/src/zlib-1.2.7 \
        --disable-examples-build
    make -j3

But like that it works fine:

 ./configure --with-openssl --with-libz \
        --with-libssl-prefix=C:/build_minGW/openssl-1.0.1p \
        --with-libz-prefix=C:/build_minGW/zlib \
        --disable-examples-build

Answer 6 · 2016-01-12T08:55:01.000Z

So after you added the libraries, were you able to build the module?

Answer 7 · 2016-01-12T10:05:51.000Z

No, I was not able to build module.
When I got these errors:

SSH2.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _libssh2_session_init_ex
SSH2.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _libssh2_trace
SSH2.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _libssh2_session_block_directions
SSH2.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _libssh2_session_set_timeout
SSH2.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _libssh2_session_set_blocking

$extra_lib was replaced and:

my $extra_libs = 'c:/build_minGW/zlib/lib/libz.a c:/build_minGW/openssl-1.0.1p/lib/libssl.a c:/build_minGW/openssl-1.0.1p/lib/libcrypto.a ';

After your suggestion I tried to add path to libssh2.a to this list, errors the same.

Answer 8 · 2016-01-14T07:09:36.000Z

I'm having issues too. I'm on Windows 7 64-bit, using ActivePerl 5.16.1604. I installed mingw64 from mingw-w64.org using the msys2 package (but also installed via ppm install MinGW64 just so I could try both).

I tried two approaches:

I tried using msys2's ported pacman to install mingw-w64-x86_64-libssh2, mingw-w64-x86_64-openssl & mingw-w64-x86_64-zlib.
I tried building openssl, zlib & libssh2 from source (I was able to build all 3)

I got the same results no matter what code I used. Given that msys2 makes it easy to install 64-bit mingw static libs, that might be a good approach to suggest once the build is working.

If I try to run the dmake provided by ActivePerl, I get a similar result as justnoxx, except my dmake output ends like this (and all the lines are prefaced with SSH2.o:SSH2.c:(text+0xXXXXX):)

SSH2.o:SSH2.c:(.text+0x14d5e): undefined reference to `CRYPTO_set_dynlock_destroy_callback'

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
dmake.exe:  Error code 129, while making 'blib\arch\auto\Net\SSH2\SSH2.dll'

If I try to build using the msys2-installed dmake, I get this output:

dmake.exe:  Error code 129, while making 'SSH2.o'

Unfortunately for me, using the sisyphusion.tk-provided Net-SSH2 is not an option, for one because it is my understanding it is built with dynamic libs (which breaks PerlApp, the ultimate destination for my code) and also because it is built against libssh2 1.4.3, which does not provide support for the auth_publickey_frommemory method, and our coding guidelines frown upon writing out crypto certificates from the app to the filesystem.

Any suggestions? I followed all of your suggestions from this thread...I also followed your suggestions from Building XS Modules for 64bit ActivePerl on Windows for building with MinGW.

I'm willing to try using VS but the thought of building openssl, libssh2 and zlib using VS seems even more daunting than using mingw

Answer 9 · 2016-01-14T10:34:37.000Z

@wallacewinfrey

I haven't done this in a few years, when I wrote BUILDING.WIN32 all of those instructions worked of course, but I guess things changed.

I like your idea of using the packaged mingw libs in msys2.

I am going to add some code to Makefile.PL to automate all of this and get it to work.

Please give me a few days at least.

Answer 10 · 2016-01-14T10:54:53.000Z

@justnoxx, @wallacewinfrey, @rkitover and everybody interested in getting Net::SSH2 to be easy installable on Windows:

Over the last weeks I have been working on a set of Alien packages to get all Net::SSH2 dependencies installed automatically both in Linux/Unix and Windows Active Perl and Strawberry Perl (see Alien::Libssh2, Alien::OpenSSL, Alien::Libgcrypt, Alien::Libgpg_error and also the module-build branch on this repo).

It is still a work in progress. Currently I am stuck with an issue on Windows where Libssh2 links against ws2_32 but then, Net::SSH2 can not find it at runtime. My knowledge of Windows is rather limited so I would really appreciate help from more skilled people in order to move it forward.

For faster communication I can also be found in #native at irc.perl.org

Answer 11 · 2016-01-14T11:46:20.000Z

@salva I don't have any issues with zlib, openssl or libssh2. Looks like my problem is not in the missing dependencies.
Thanks.

Answer 12 · 2016-01-21T04:03:28.000Z

Any update on this ?

Answer 13 · 2016-01-21T11:15:24.000Z

@wallacewinfrey @salva @rkitover
I was able to build Net::SSH2 under windows 10 minutes ago. Now I verifying it. If everything will be ok, I'll prepare pull request with updated guide and fixed makefile.

Thanks.
