Problems compiling OpenSSH against default version of OpenSSL on Ubuntu 20.04 #34

Closed manfred-kaiser closed 3 years ago

manfred-kaiser commented 3 years ago

When I try to compile OpenSSH on Ubuntu 20.04 with the default version of OpenSSL, I got following error:

In file included from sshbuf.h:25,
                 from buffer.h:24,
                 from entropy.h:28,
                 from includes.h:174,
                 from ssh-dss.c:26:
ssh-dss.c: In function 'ssh_dss_sign':
ssh-dss.c:79:25: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type 'DSA_SIG' {aka 'struct DSA_SIG_st'}
   79 |  rlen = BN_num_bytes(sig->r);
      |                         ^~
make: *** [Makefile:152: ssh-dss.o] Error 1

The reason is, that the installed version of OpenSSL does not support the needed algorithms.

Using the default version of OpenSSL needs some pathes to the used OpenSSH version.

This is only an information, if we want to switch to a newer version of openssh and/or openssl
