cannot configure curl 7.71.0 with static WolfSSL installed outside system directories #5605
Description
I did this
On CentOS 7/x86_64...
- grab curl 7.71.0 source, extract
- grab WolfSSL 4.4.0 source: https://github.com/wolfSSL/wolfssl/archive/v4.4.0-stable.tar.gz
- extract wolfssl into curl source dir, cd to it, run
libtoolize ; autoreconf -fiv - configure, build, install static wolfssl with...
./configure --prefix=$(dirname ${PWD})/wolfssl --enable-static --enable-static=yes --disable-shared --enable-shared=no --enable-all --enable-singlethreaded --enable-distro --disable-fips --enable-tlsv10 --enable-jobserver=no --disable-examples LDFLAGS=-static LIBS=-pthread
make -j$(($(nproc)*2+1))
make install
install -m 644 wolfssl/options.h ../wolfssl/include/wolfssl/
- configure and attempt to build curl with static wolfssl using...
./configure --prefix=${PWD}-built --disable-shared --enable-shared=no --enable-static --enable-static=yes --with-wolfssl=${PWD}/wolfssl LIBS='-pthread -lm'
This works fine on 7.70.0 - just tested successfully to verify. On 7.71.0, configure errors out with:
checking run-time libs availability... failed
configure: error: one or more libs available at link-time are not available run-time. Libs used at link-time: -lwolfssl -lm -lz -pthread -lm
config.log shows the following:
configure:30213: checking run-time libs availability
configure:30234: gcc -o conftest -Werror-implicit-function-declaration -O2 -Wno-system-headers -I/usr/local/tmp/curl-7.71.0/wolfssl/include /wolfssl -I/usr/local/tmp/curl-7.71.0/wolfssl/include
-L/usr/local/tmp/curl-7.71.0/wolfssl/lib conftest.c -lwolfssl -lm -lz -pthread -lm >&5
gcc: error: /wolfssl: No such file or directory
configure:30234: $? = 1
configure: program exited with status 1
I'm wondering where the bare /wolfssl is coming from and if the new -L handling in the autotools setup is causing this. The same pattern seems to work fine with OpenSSL/LibreSSL, mbedTLS, and bearssl, though, so I'm not sure what the difference is with WolfSSL, or if the -L change is completely unrelated.
I expected the following
A src/curl built with static wolfssl.
curl/libcurl version
7.71.0
operating system
CentOS 7 (x86_64)
I tested under CentOS 6 (x86_64) as well with the same results.
