Simply editing this file:
https://github.com/curl/curl/blob/master/lib/vtls/openssl.c#L121

and removing Static at the beginning of the line causes the build to successfully build.

Do you know the first version of libressl where this is fixed? I think it would be better to change it to #if (LIBRESSL_VERSION_NUMBER < fixedver)

jungle-boogie · 2018-02-19T06:05:16Z

Hi @jay,

I don't know the first version. If you take a look at the openBSD commit I linked, it was only modified 5 days ago. My openBSD -current machine has libressl 2.7.0, if that helps.

jay · 2018-02-19T06:32:53Z

i see, it's the dev branch not release. It looks like they're transitioning from libressl 2.6.x to 3.0.x but it's unclear to me whether they'll continue with a 2.6.5 in parallel and whether it will have the api.

I think we should either get some confirmation of this from the libressl team, or wait for an actual release to see how this will end up. Otherwise I think the fix looks correct.

0x2070000fL would be appropriate if checking for a version, however the only place cURL uses this is to print LibreSSL/$version, so decoding based on LIBRESSL_VERSION_NUMBER is more appropriate here. This is what we're currently doing in ports:

@jay - the additional API will appear in the 2.7.x release. There will only be a 2.6.5 release if there are security or bug fixes and such a release would not contain the API changes. As sthen notes, conditioning on 0x2070000fL is the correct version to use, if you want to take that route. For now, I'd recommend holding off until we finish the API churn, as there may be other fixes/changes.

bagder · 2018-02-20T07:02:16Z

thanks @4a6f656c, waiting a bit to see how this settles for real in a coming release seems like the sensible thing to do.

bagder · 2018-03-22T08:49:38Z

libressl 2.7.0 has been released so it makes sense to revisit this issue now...

donny-dont · 2018-03-23T20:32:21Z

@sthen 's fix is probably the most correct. Internally LibreSSL will print out its OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER which will always be 0x20000000L so doing a patch like the following would not get the desired behavior.

Thank you for that information. Is there any way we can get LIBRESSL_VERSION_NUMBER dynamically at runtime. I am thinking of what happens when, for example, a user's shared LibreSSL is upgraded. How would we get the actual version number to report to the user, is it possible through the API?

donny-dont · 2018-03-23T22:01:58Z

There's OpenSSL_version

const char *
OpenSSL_version(int t)
{
	switch (t) {
	case OPENSSL_VERSION:
		return OPENSSL_VERSION_TEXT;
	case OPENSSL_BUILT_ON:
		return("built on: date not available");
	case OPENSSL_CFLAGS:
		return("compiler: information not available");
	case OPENSSL_PLATFORM:
		return("platform: information not available");
	case OPENSSL_DIR:
		return "OPENSSLDIR: \"" OPENSSLDIR "\"";
	case OPENSSL_ENGINES_DIR:
		return "ENGINESDIR: N/A";
	}
	return("not available");
}

/* These will change with each release of LibreSSL-portable */
#define LIBRESSL_VERSION_NUMBER	0x2070000fL
#define LIBRESSL_VERSION_TEXT	"LibreSSL 2.7.0"

/* These will never change */
#define OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER	0x20000000L
#define OPENSSL_VERSION_TEXT	LIBRESSL_VERSION_TEXT
#define OPENSSL_VERSION_PTEXT	" part of " OPENSSL_VERSION_TEXT

One of the LibreSSL guys might want to chime in here on the best route. Just commenting because I recently hit this issue and am working around it currently.

LibreSSL added a OpenSSL_version_num that always returns 0x020000000L. That conflicted with the workaround function we were using to return the compile-time LibreSSL actual version. This change removes that workaround in favor of extracting the actual version at runtime. Fixes curl#2319

please test the pr at #2425 if you use libressl

Hi,

Thanks for fixing this and sorry I didn't get a chance to specifically test the PR. However, now that it's merged into master, I can confirm the curl built successfully on openbsd -current from today's build with libressl 2.7.2.
