Title: ECDSA dropped out of openssl 1.0.0b? Post by: marcus_of_augustus on May 23, 2011, 09:05:26 AM Code: $ make -f makefile.unix bitcoind Code: $ openssl version Soooo, no ecdsa.h included with openssl 1.0.0b. Do I need to ruin my repository 'adhering' linux just to build bitcoin? What gives here? Title: Re: ECDSA dropped out of openssl 1.0.0b? Post by: theymos on May 23, 2011, 09:28:21 AM OpenSSL 1.0.0b does have ECDSA. You're using some modified version. A few distros remove ECDSA due to (overblown) patent concerns.
Title: Re: ECDSA dropped out of openssl 1.0.0b? Post by: error on May 23, 2011, 09:28:49 AM Don't build bitcoin on a Red Hat derived system. Red Hat strips all the ECC stuff out of OpenSSL.
Title: Re: ECDSA dropped out of openssl 1.0.0b? Post by: marcus_of_augustus on May 23, 2011, 09:35:46 AM What if I like Redhat or CentOS? Bitcoin just cannot be built cleanly on them without a protracted battle with repository nazis or jacking your system (think SElinux scrap)? Basically, I'm SOOL if I want to build "officially" on anything RH derived is what you are saying, right? Title: Re: ECDSA dropped out of openssl 1.0.0b? Post by: ribuck on May 23, 2011, 11:36:27 AM What if I like Redhat or CentOS? Just install OpenSSL from a tarball (from http://www.openssl.org/source/ ) instead of from the repository. You may also have to link the static libraries libssl.a and libcrypto.a into /usr/libTitle: Re: ECDSA dropped out of openssl 1.0.0b?

You may also have to link the static libraries libssl.a and libcrypto.a into /usr/libHave you actually done this or are you saying "this could be done"? Title: Re: ECDSA dropped out of openssl 1.0.0b? Post by: theymos on May 23, 2011, 06:30:29 PM OpenSSL is an easy compile. You can just prefix it somewhere and use that version for Bitcoin only. I used to do this when my system's OpenSSL was the wrong version.
Title: Re: ECDSA dropped out of openssl 1.0.0b? Post by: error on May 23, 2011, 07:32:08 PM Right. The "official" Bitcoin binary builds have OpenSSL statically linked in (or they'd fail spectacularly on a Red Hat box). Just do the same yourself.
Title: Re: ECDSA dropped out of openssl 1.0.0b? Post by: xf2_org on May 23, 2011, 08:38:58 PM Fedora / RHEL / derivatives have EC removed for patent related reasons (one reason why I refuse to distribute a bitcoin binary to anyone, for any reason).
It is trivial to compile and install openssl yourself, then build bitcoin. I run Fedora 14, as do many others on the forums/IRC, and use this solution without a problem. Title: Re: ECDSA dropped out of openssl 1.0.0b? Post by: marcus_of_augustus on May 23, 2011, 08:58:51 PM Messy. Title: Re: ECDSA dropped out of openssl 1.0.0b? Post by: bittrader on May 24, 2011, 02:15:39 AM Some instructions for building OpenSSL on CentOS 5.5 for use with Bitcoin are here: http://www.staff.tugraz.at/michael.steurer/Bitcoin-CentOS5.5-V1.pdf
It's pretty straightforward. One small part of the guide is incorrect though. It tells you to run something like this: Code: $ ./Configure --prefix=~/Bitcoin/Deps --openssldir=~/Bitcoin/Deps/openssl linux-x86_64 when actually you need this: Code: $ ./Configure --prefix=~/Bitcoin/Deps --openssldir=/openssl linux-x86_64 Title: Re: ECDSA dropped out of openssl 1.0.0b? Post by: yogi on June 26, 2012, 05:14:46 PM This is also true for 32bit configure. This: Code: $ ./Configure --prefix=~/Bitcoin/Deps --openssldir=~/Bitcoin/Deps/openssl linux-generic32 Needs to be this: Code: $ ./Configure --prefix=~/Bitcoin/Deps --openssldir=/openssl linux-generic32 Title: Re: ECDSA dropped out of openssl 1.0.0b? Post by: jgarzik on June 26, 2012, 05:39:39 PM The preferred "fixes" for Red Hat, CentOS, Fedora systems are, if you want to do it yourself, 1) Download SRPM 2) Download associated source code from openssl.org 3) Edit SPECS/openssl.spec, a) replacing source tarball filename with the downloaded one b) comment out all references to source1 c) remove the "no-ec" stuff from the configure line 4) rebuild with "rpmbuild -ba SPECS/openssl.spec" or similar 5) install build rpms found in RPMS/ Title: Re: ECDSA dropped out of openssl 1.0.0b? Post by: gmaxwell on July 02, 2012, 02:54:15 AM The preferred "fixes" for Red Hat, CentOS, Fedora systems are, if you want to do it yourself, I maintain modified openssl Fedora rpm's for my own use: https://people.xiph.org/~greg/openssl/ Perhaps some other people might find them useful, either outright or just the spec file changes.
