[stunnel-users] Problems with stunnel 4.10 compilation

Sat May 14 04:49:22 CEST 2005

Hello.

I've compiled stunnel 4.10 without any problems on my Gentoo workstation
and RedHat server. But now I need to install it into my old legacy
Mandrake 8.2 server and here I've got into troubles.

I've updated zlib and openssl (configuring it with "zlib" option) to
their latest versions, then tried to make stunnel and got following errors:

---
/usr/lib/libcrypto.a(c_zlib.o): In function `zlib_compress_block':
c_zlib.o(.text+0x48): undefined reference to `compress'
/usr/lib/libcrypto.a(c_zlib.o): In function `zz_uncompress':
c_zlib.o(.text+0x145): undefined reference to `inflateInit_'
c_zlib.o(.text+0x159): undefined reference to `inflate'
c_zlib.o(.text+0x16c): undefined reference to `inflateEnd'
c_zlib.o(.text+0x18b): undefined reference to `inflateEnd'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [stunnel] Error 1
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
---

It seems like problems with zlib so I've double-checked it - but zlib
1.2.2 is really installed. If I recompile openssl without "zlib" option
then I can make stunnel but it can't initialize zlib compression
algorithm that I really need. And if I compile openssl with zlib -
stunnel fails on make with errors.

Can anyone help with it please? I really stuck 8(
