I was having problems building OpenSSL 0.9.7k on Solaris 9. The error was similar to problems other people have with building it on Solaris 9, but not exactly the same.
The error is: installing fips-1.0... making install in fips/sha... making install in fips/rand... making install in fips/des... making install in fips/aes... making install in fips/dsa... making install in fips/rsa... making install in fips/dh... making install in fips/hmac... installing fipsld cp: cannot access fipscanister.o cp: cannot access fipscanister.o.sha1 *** Error code 2 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `install' Current working directory /vol03/users/fin23292/openssl097k/openssl-0.9.7k/fips-1.0 *** Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `install_sw' Strangly enough, during compile, no object files are created in the fips-1.0 directlory. I've also noticed that even though I specified no-fips to the Configure script, fips is still being processed. Here are my build directives and my environmnet settings: /Configure --prefix=/export/home/fin23292/openssl097k --openssldir=/export/home/fin23292/openssl097k no-fips -fPIC solaris-sparcv9-gcc PATH=/opt/sfw/gcc-3/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/ ucb:/usr/contrib/bin LOGNAME=fin23292 USER=fin23292 SHELL=/bin/ksh HOME=/export/home/fin23292 TERM=xterm PWD=/export/home/fin23292/openssl097k TZ=US/Eastern Here is the version of Solaris 9, for reference: $ cat /etc/release Solaris 9 9/05 s9s_u8wos_05 SPARC Copyright 2005 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Use is subject to license terms. Assembled 04 August 2005 I pinned down the issue to be the "make" binary shipped with Solaris 9. If I start fresh using GNU make, I do not get this error and everything works fine. Using GCC or the Sun Workshop compiler make no difference. I ran test builds against 0.9.8c, 0.9.7k, 0.9.7j, and 0.9.7i. Here are my results: 0.9.8c/gcc/make success 0.9.8c/gcc/gmake success 0.9.8c/cc/make success 0.9.8c/cc/gmake success 0.9.7k/gcc/make failed 0.9.7k/gcc/gmake success 0.9.7/cc/make failed 0.9.7k/cc/gmake success 0.9.7j/gcc/make failed 0.9.7j/gcc/gmake success 0.9.7j/cc/make failed 0.9.7j/cc/gmake success 0.9.7i/gcc/make success 0.9.7i/gcc/gmake success 0.9.7i/cc/make success 0.9.7i/cc/gmake success I thought someone might find this of interest.
