SW Test Automation Framework / Bugs / #1593 STAF 3.4.26 failed to build on Fedora 26

Hi, the error is when trying to reference EVP_MD_CTX which is defined in OpenSSL header file openssl/evp.h (in the directory that you assigned to environment variable OPENSSL_ROOT).

You are setting the following OPENSSL environment variables when building STAF:

OPENSSL_ROOT=/usr 
OPENSSL_LIBDIRS=/usr/lib64
OPENSSL_VERSION=1

It appears your OPENSSL_ROOT directory (/usr) does not contain a include/openssl directory containing header files such as evp.h (which defines EVP_MD_CTX, etc) and this is required as it looks here for the OpenSSL header files. Or you can set OPENSSL_INCLUDEDIRS to the directory on your system that contains a include/openssl directory containing the OpenSSL header files.

Section "Building OpenSSL" section in the STAF Developer's Guide at http://staf.sourceforge.net/current/stafdg.html#Header_buildOpenSSL talks about how you can build OpenSSL from source on your system if you don't have the OpenSSL header files installed. For example, on my Linux 64-bit STAF build system, I downloaded OpenSSL source code from the OpenSSL website and untarred the OpenSSL tar file (e.g. openssl-1.0.2g.tar.gz) in /opt/dev/autobuild/tools which created directory /opt/dev/autobuild/tools/openssl-1.0.2g. Then I ran the following to build OpenSSL binaries for Linux 64-bit and puts them in /opt/dev/autobuild/tools/openssl-1.0.2g-root which is what I set OPENSSL_ROOT to when building the STAF TCP/IP connection provider.

cd /opt/dev/autobuild/tools/openssl-1.0.2g
./Configure linux-x86_64 --openssldir=/opt/dev/autobuild/tools/openssl-1.0.2g-root threads shared no-zlib no-rc5 no-idea no-ec no-ecdh no-ecdsa no-ssl2 no-ssl3
make depend
make
make test
make install

Here are the contents of directory /opt/dev/autobuild/tools/openssl-1.0.2g-root on my Linux 64-bit system after successfully building OpenSSL 1.0,2g from source:

After building OpenSSL from source, then I set

export STAF_USE_SSL=1
export OPENSSL_ROOT=/opt/dev/autobuild/tools/openssl-1.0.2g-root

before building STAF.

Or, you could build STAF without OpenSSL support (if you don't need a secure TCP/IP interface and if you don't need to be able to get a checksum via a FS GET ENTRY CHECKSUM request) by setting the following environment variable:

export STAF_USE_SSL=

Or, instead of building STAF yourself, you could simply download a STAF installer file for Linux 64-bit (e.g. STAF3426-setup-linux-amd64.bin) from http://staf.sourceforge.net/getcurrent.php and use it to install STAF following the instructions in the STAF Installation Guide at http://staf.sourceforge.net/current/STAFInstall.pdf. For example:

chmod +x STAF3426-setup-linux-amd64.bin
./STAF3426-setup-linux-amd64.bin
