#44 undefined reference errors with --enable-nofile and --enable-noprint options

[Thomas]

In 1.6.0 release, i get the following undefined reference errors:
- with option --enable-nofile

/bin/ld: timepacket-timepacket.o: in function `main':
timepacket.c:(.text.startup+0x1c4): undefined reference to `TSS_Array_Scan'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Makefile:2654: recipe for target 'timepacket' failed

• with option --enable-noprint

/bin/ld: activatecredential-activatecredential.o: in function `main':
activatecredential.c:(.text.startup+0x584): undefined reference to `TSS_ResponseCode_toString'
(and for TSS_TPMI_YES_NO_Print, TSS_TPMT_SIG_SCHEME_Print, TSS_TPMT_RSA_DECRYPT_Print ...)

The first is because timepacket reads the packet from a file. Thus --no-file causes a failure.
The second is because the utilities all print results.

Do you have any suggestions?

We (autotools was contributed) could modify autotools to build only the TSS with certain options. Or I could add a warning to the documentation that the compile time restrictions build a TSS, but the utilities won't work.

[Thomas]

I wrote a patch to disable the build of timepacket if nofile option is selected, and to disable utils (for tpm1.2 and tpm2.0) if noprint option is selected.

Thanks. Staged for the next release.

I found an issue with the patch i sent you.
It was not possible to build an application and to link it with libibmtss and libibmtssutils.
It was due to some missing #ifndef TPM_TSS_NO_PRINT to disable the build and the declaration of print functions in the library.
Please find attached a new version of the patch

I don't understand the issue. Can you send a test case?

In general, should unused functions in a header file break anything?
