[pacman-dev] Unable to compile pacman in ubuntu-11.10

Some improvement over the build by providing --without-gpgme arg to
./configure script .

The complete steps is mentioned below


$ git clean -xfd; ./autogen.sh && ./configure --without-gpgme && make

..........
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/user/tmp/pacman/lib/libalpm'
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/user/tmp/pacman/lib/libalpm'
Making all in src/util
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/user/tmp/pacman/src/util'
  CC     vercmp.o
  CCLD   vercmp
  CC     testpkg.o
  CCLD   testpkg
../../lib/libalpm/.libs/libalpm.so: undefined reference to `MD5_Init'
../../lib/libalpm/.libs/libalpm.so: undefined reference to `MD5_Final'
../../lib/libalpm/.libs/libalpm.so: undefined reference to `SHA256_Init'
../../lib/libalpm/.libs/libalpm.so: undefined reference to `SHA256_Update'
../../lib/libalpm/.libs/libalpm.so: undefined reference to `MD5_Update'
../../lib/libalpm/.libs/libalpm.so: undefined reference to `SHA256_Final'


The actual command executed while tryint to linking is found by running dry make (make -n )

cd pacman/src/util

$ /bin/bash ../../libtool --silent --tag=CC   --mode=link gcc -std=gnu99 -pedantic -D_GNU_SOURCE -g -O2 -Wall   -o testpkg testpkg.o ../../lib/libalpm/.libs/libalpm.la -lssl -larchive -lm
../../lib/libalpm/.libs/libalpm.so: undefined reference to `MD5_Init'
../../lib/libalpm/.libs/libalpm.so: undefined reference to `MD5_Final'
../../lib/libalpm/.libs/libalpm.so: undefined reference to `SHA256_Init'
../../lib/libalpm/.libs/libalpm.so: undefined reference to `SHA256_Update'
../../lib/libalpm/.libs/libalpm.so: undefined reference to `MD5_Update'
../../lib/libalpm/.libs/libalpm.so: undefined reference to `SHA256_Final'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status


Now finding which library contains **MD5_Init** symbol using the below 

bash commands

for i in `find /usr/lib -type f -name '*.so.*'`;
do
     nm -D $i | grep MD5_Init;
     if [ $? -eq 0 ]; 

     then 

          echo $i;
     fi;
done


Output:-

======
00004320 T MD5_Init
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgnutls-openssl.so.26.16.14


Now linking with the libgnutls-openssl library 


$ /bin/bash ../../libtool --silent --tag=CC   --mode=link gcc -std=gnu99 -pedantic -D_GNU_SOURCE -g -O2 -Wall   -o testpkg testpkg.o ../../lib/libalpm/.libs/libalpm.la -lssl -larchive -lm -lgnutls-openssl
../../lib/libalpm/.libs/libalpm.so: undefined reference to `SHA256_Init'
../../lib/libalpm/.libs/libalpm.so: undefined reference to `SHA256_Update'
../../lib/libalpm/.libs/libalpm.so: undefined reference to `SHA256_Final'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status


Only MD5_* symbols are able to find by ld.

Problem with SHA256_* symbols. Finding the **SHA256_Init** symbol
using the above bash commands outputs.

00187db0 T SHA256_Init
/usr/lib/libgs.so.9.04


Trying to link with the libgs.so.9.04 library gives the following error. 


$ /bin/bash ../../libtool --silent --tag=CC   --mode=link gcc -std=gnu99 -pedantic -D_GNU_SOURCE -g -O2 -Wall   -o testpkg testpkg.o ../../lib/libalpm/.libs/libalpm.la -lssl -larchive -lm -lgnutls-openssl -lgs
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgs
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status


No idea why the linker fails to find the libgs library.

That requires gpgme-1.3.0 which was released over two years ago...

That is entirely unrelated to your issue with "undefined reference to
`MD5_Init'".   Attach your configure and build output if you want help
with that.
