libressl-3.9.0: build fails for ios

[chipitsine]

I ran build script from https://github.com/build-xcframeworks/libressl

These should be provided via the compat header. Can you figure out what the apparently existing endian.h contains?

https://github.com/libressl/portable/blob/55f21a399f56695990d5495384146b55a5e56823/include/compat/endian.h#L65-L77

Presumably this code needs to be of the form

#if defined(__APPLE__)
#if !defined(HAVE_ENDIAN_H)
...
#elif defined(/* whatever identifies ios */)
...
#endif

[chipitsine]

interesting fact is that https://github.com/build-xcframeworks/libressl was not updated for a while, it states that LibreSSL-3.2.4 is supported (which was the latest as the time of creating)

I jumped from 3.2.4 to 3.9.0 ))

[chipitsine]

so far,

3.7.2 - builds fine 3.8.0 - fails

(I'll do more checks soon)

[botovq]

3.7.2 - builds fine 3.8.0 - fails

That's because crypto_internal.h didn't exist back then and there were no calls to these conversion functions. As mentioned, the bug will be in the compat endian.h.

+1 any fix on this?

[chipitsine]

omg, I forgot about it. thanks ))

[ronaaron]

Yeah, I'm trying to compile 3.9.1 for iOS and failing...

can you please help us with build steps you take ?

we definetly would like to add something like that to CI

[ronaaron]

I've just got a bash script to make sure I get the right options:

echo "Configuring"
if ./configure --host=$HOST --disable-tests --enable-shared=no > /tmp/configure.log 2>&1
then
    echo "Building"
    make -k -j8 > /tmp/build.log 2>&1
    $AR -r libtls.a `find crypto -name '*.o'` ssl/*.o tls/*.o >> /tmp/build.log
    $RANLIB libtls.a
    cp -v libtls.a ~/libs/ios/$BITS/libtls.a
else
    echo "Failed configure, see /tmp/configure.log"
fi

HOST is set to either aarch64-apple-darwin11 or armv7-ios-darwin11

[ekscrypto]

In my case I'm simply using the build-xcframework/libressl script

[botovq]

In my very first post I asked a question and suggested a solution. How about you all try to answer it and then we can figure it out?

[ronaaron]

OK, I changed the line to:

#if defined(__APPLE__) && !defined(be16toh)

And it works for me for iOS, and verified it doesn't screw up macOS (both Intel and ARM)

Ok, thanks.

That might be a viable approach although I'd prefer to get these HAVE_* defines set by autotools or cmake right. @busterb could you take a look please?
