Visual Studio, OpenSSL QTsslSocket

Message 1 in thread

Is anyone using Visual Studio.Net 2003 and the QTsslSocket solution and
openssl?

I cant seem to get the right version of the ssleay32.lib into the visual
studio folders.

I tried to build the source, but had to download perl and then compile
from the command line and the perl scripts came up with errors.

HELP!!!!

Hi,

We're doing it like this:

** Perl

Install ActivePerl 5.8 (latest MSI package from ActiveState). Make sure it's
in the path. (Other Perls would probably work as well, but I can't say I've
tried).


** OpenSSL debug build (for Qt built in debug mode)

Extract the OpenSSL source into c:\libs\vc71-qt33-debug\openssl. Go into that
directory. Edit util\pl\VC-32.pl so that the "/MD" flag in $cflags becomes
"/MDd". (Note that there is a code block to amend $cflags to use /MDd if
$debug is set, but that doesn't work with this build process).

Then run:

   C:\libs\vc71-qt33-debug\openssl>perl Configure VC-WIN32

   C:\libs\vc71-qt33-debug\openssl>ms\do_masm.bat

   C:\libs\vc71-qt33-debug\openssl>nmake -f ms\ntdll.mak


** OpenSSL release build

Repeat the entire procedure from scratch (ie fresh extraction of the TAR) in
c:\libs\vc71-qt33-release\openssl, but this time don't edit util\pl\VC-32.pl.


** qtsslsocket build

Make sure that the following are in the .pri file for qtsslsocket, or that you
otherwise enable these paths:

OPENSSL_PATH = <<<path to c:\libs\....\openssl>>>
win32 {
          INCLUDEPATH += $${OPENSSL_PATH}/inc32
          LIBS += -L$${OPENSSL_PATH}/out32dll libeay32.lib ssleay32.lib
}

Message 3 in thread

good point john, here's the gory detail:
 
I am on QT 4.0.1 and QTSolutions  qtsslsocket-2.4-commercial, Visual
Studio .NET 2003, Integration Package.
 
I have downloaded and installed the OpenSSL binaries and per the
instructions that came with them, copied the OpenSSL\lib\VC\*.* to the
ProgramFiles\Microsoft Visual Studio >NET 2003\SDK\V1.1\lib folder.
 
I unzipped the qtsslsocket-2.4-commercial package under the C:\QT\4.0.1
folder.
 
I used the Visual Studio QT menu "Open Solution from .pro file" and used
Examples\Server\server.pro
 
I then did a "rebuild all".
 
The program compiled fine but I got a link error "LNK1181: cannot open
input file 'ssleay32.lib'
 
I searched for ssleay32.lib and found it under the openssl\lib\builder5
(not mentioned in the open ssl installation instructions). But i copied
the file ssleay32.lib to the Visual studio folder with the other
libraries.
 
Now when I attempt to build i get the message: "LNK1136: invalid or
corrupt file".
 
What do i need to do?
 
I also tried to build the open ssl source but i got nowhere trying to
follow the instructions. some env variables were not set and there were
no instructions on what to set them to. Luckily I found the binaries,
but now I can't link.
 
Help!!!
 
Thanks in advance,
 
Charley

Charley,

I was using QtSslSocket, but had too many instances where it would not
work 
on my customer's machines. I have switched to using CurlLib, which
handles 
everything so much cleaner. I still had to compile openssl for that, but

that was not too big a problem. Perhaps if you posted the error
messages, 
people could be of more help.

Aloha,
John
