I have a case that needs zlib statically in openssl. But I can't seem to make that. Only dynamic is made.
For testing I put zlib125 in its own <dir>. Then for openssl... ./config --prefix=<path> --with-zlib-include=<dir>/include --with-zlib-lib=<dir>/lib shared zlib make make install This gives... LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../zlib125/lib ldd bin/openssl bin/openssl: libssl.so.1.0.0 => /.../openssl100e/lib/libssl.so.1.0.0 (0x28102000) libcrypto.so.1.0.0 => /.../openssl100e/lib/libcrypto.so.1.0.0 (0x28151000) => libz.so.1 => ../zlib125/lib/libz.so.1 (0x282bd000) libthr.so.3 => /lib/libthr.so.3 (0x282d3000) libc.so.7 => /lib/libc.so.7 (0x282e8000) As far as I understand things... 'zlib-dynamic' is to include zlib dynamically. 'zlib' is to include zlib statically. But as shown above, 'zlib' is not doing that. So I think this is a bug, is that correct? If it is my configuration usage, how do I make zlib static? Also, is 'enc -z' the standard zlib testing method? Why am I getting such a poor compression ratio? The hashes are md5 in place of wc. I did check that adding the final reverse '-d' pipe does yield 1MiB zeros. dd if=/dev/zero bs=1m count=1 | LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../zlib125/lib bin/openssl enc -aes128 -a -k 0 -S 0 -e | wc -c 1419990 f8a4638a913dedd984f987767a24796c dd if=/dev/zero bs=1m count=1 | LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../zlib125/lib bin/openssl enc -aes128 -a -k 0 -S 0 -e -z | wc -c 1080369 a48155fc72d937c4cfdc609e18b470ac dd if=/dev/zero bs=1m count=1 | LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../zlib125/lib bin/openssl zlib -aes128 -a -k 0 -S 0 -e | wc -c 1080369 a48155fc72d937c4cfdc609e18b470ac dd if=/dev/zero bs=1m count=1 | LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../zlib125/lib bin/openssl zlib -e | wc -c 1039 cfd12ca5dd18c8cd22cc34bb757c8b9f dd if=/dev/zero bs=1m count=1 | gzip -n | LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../zlib125/lib bin/openssl enc -aes128 -a -k 0 -S 0 -e | wc -c 1455 08d52ad99d2f6edf344ef735ad62150c There are some documentation bugs... enc.1: -z should read: 'was compiled'. 'openssl zlib' does not appear to be documented. Thanks.
