Hello Flex Schulze,

I used above correct links posted by KEN GRANT. I am using that openssl in my iphone app. But it is giving me the following error when I tried to genereate keypair using RSA_generate_key_ex(rsa, 1024, e, NULL).

“Detected an attempt to call a symbol in system libraries that is not present on the iPhone:
open$UNIX2003 called from function RAND_poll in image MyIphoneApp.
If you are encountering this problem running a simulator binary within gdb, make sure you ‘set start-with-shell off’ first.
Program received signal: “SIGABRT”. ”

Can U help me please!

Thanks,
Sai Jithendra.

You must compile it for arm too (Simulator is i386, Device is arm).

You must remove the directory lib and create it after the clean command.

After Build OpenSSL for “i368 iPhoneSimulator” when i start for “Build OpenSSL for arm iPhoneOS” i must have to run the make clean command but each time this error occurs
————————————————————————————-
rm -f *.map *.so *.so.* *.dll engines/*.so engines/*.dll *.a engines/*.a */lib */*/lib
rm: openssl_i386_lib/lib: is a directory
make: *** [libclean] Error 1
————————————————————————————–
my xcode version is 3.1.4 and iPhoneOS 3.1.3 SDK.

Hello, I get the following errors when building the arm version. Do I have to change all i386 to armv6 or only in CFLAG in the makefile? I’m building openssl 1.0.0a.

x86cpuid.s:7:bad instruction `pushl %ebp’
x86cpuid.s:8:bad instruction `pushl %ebx’

This link http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1550397/no-such-file-or-directory-for-the-files-stdarg-h-and-float-h has a suggested workaround. However as this modifies the base SDK I am not sure it is the best option. Maybe you know of a better way to configure the Makefile to look in the other folder for the specific file.
