Thanks for this @predators46

putpwent() is an interesting one. It's not in POSIX, and I can't find where it actually comes from.

Regarding your problem, I don't believe the function calling putpwent() is currently used. Can you try this patch against v0.9.25.1? That should let us find any other compile issues at least.

there is another problem if doing cross compilation I don't find CC_FOR_BUILD in configure. keygen must cross-compile.

xrdp-keygen is a tricky one.

It's used by make install, but also needs to be available on the target system itself.

I'm wondering if a way round this is to ignore fails if xrdp-keygen during install, but to run it when the xrdp service is started if the file doesn't exist.

Presumably you're having to write a service script for OpenWRT to handle xrdp?

[matt335672]

This patch should let the build run through without an rsakeys.ini being generated:-

@matt335672

thank you I understand now

[matt335672]

Let me know how you get on - this definitely falls into the 'interesting' category of PRs!

We might want to add a way to disable the compile-time generation of rsakeys.ini and the TLS files. These are only useful if you're running make install on the local machine. They're pointless if you're building a package as they need to be regenerated for each machine that the package is installed on.

in openwrt to cross compile you have to build the host first.

i can cross compile but xrdp needs openssl host while building xrdp as host but OpenWrt doesn't add host package in openssl

so for the time being, I created rsakeys.ini on my local machine.

is there a way to disable openssl in xrdp while building? i can cross compile if xrdp doesn't need openssl

currently I managed to build xrdp without rsakeys.ini when building xrdp.

[matt335672]

I think that openssl is only used on make install. Is that what you are seeing?

I see openssl is required when building xrdp

[matt335672]

Yes - the libraries are. You'll need those in your build environment.

We've looked into using other ssl libraries when all the fuss started over openssl maintenance, but in the end we didn't implement any changes apart from the migration to the EVP interface for OpenSSL 3.0.

[predators46]

@matt335672

maybe add --disable-openssl

We need some sort of SSL library to provide RDP over TLS which is pretty mandatory these days.

Is there anything that works better for you than openSSL in your environment?

I haven't tried again. i don't have access to my virtual machine on linode
