Description

OpenSSL 1.1.0 had several API changes that break ndn-cxx. A (possibly incomplete) list of issues follows.

  • HMAC_CTX was made opaque, and the constructor and destructor were renamed to HMAC_CTX_new() and HMAC_CTX_free() respectively.
../src/security/transform/hmac-filter.cpp:43:12: error: field ‘m_context’ has incomplete type ‘HMAC_CTX {aka hmac_ctx_st}’
   HMAC_CTX m_context;
            ^
../src/security/transform/hmac-filter.cpp: In constructor ‘ndn::security::transform::HmacFilter::Impl::Impl()’:
../src/security/transform/hmac-filter.cpp:34:29: error: ‘HMAC_CTX_init’ was not declared in this scope
     HMAC_CTX_init(&m_context);
                             ^
../src/security/transform/hmac-filter.cpp: In destructor ‘ndn::security::transform::HmacFilter::Impl::~Impl()’:
../src/security/transform/hmac-filter.cpp:39:32: error: ‘HMAC_CTX_cleanup’ was not declared in this scope
     HMAC_CTX_cleanup(&m_context);
                                ^
  • The BIO sub-library has been rewritten, and BIO and BIO_METHOD were made opaque. (in the error below, it seems we're simply missing a const)
../src/security/transform/private-key.cpp: In member function ‘void ndn::security::transform::PrivateKey::loadPkcs1(const uint8_t*, size_t)’:
../src/security/transform/private-key.cpp:71:30: error: no matching function for call to ‘ndn::security::detail::Bio::Bio(const BIO_METHOD*)’

  • "The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(), BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the RAND_METHOD structure."
../tests/unit-tests/util/random.t.cpp: In constructor ‘ndn::tests::Util::TestRandom::FailRandMethodFixture::FailRandMethodFixture()’:
../tests/unit-tests/util/random.t.cpp:149:55: error: invalid conversion from ‘void (*)(const void*, int)’ to ‘int (*)(const void*, int)’ [-fpermissive]

                                                       ^
../tests/unit-tests/util/random.t.cpp:149:55: error: invalid conversion from ‘void (*)(const void*, int, double)’ to ‘int (*)(const void*, int, double)’ [-fpermissive]
  • Other errors probably caused by missing includes

Did you install openssl 1.1 from source or it is packaged already somewhere?

Gentoo has it packaged, but it's "masked" (sort of Debian's experimental): https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/dev-libs/openssl

Homebrew "recently" added a new, separate formula for OpenSSL 1.1: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/commit/663e4792e1f355ef2571a06a9101606027cfedf9
