error: failed to run custom build command for openssl v0.9.24 at ubuntu 20

[abdelmonem17]

Hello everyone I made a project under windows OS and built it then try to build it under linux ubuntu but the build aborted and I have the following issue although I have openssl last version installed, can anyone help me to fix this?

error: failed to run custom build command for openssl v0.9.24

That version of the openssl crate is over 3 years old, and doesn't support OpenSSL 1.1.1.

[abdelmonem17]

@sfackler So which version can I install instead of OpenSSL 1.1.1?

[sfackler]

1.0.1, 1.0.2, or 1.1.0. However, you should probably instead update your Rust dependencies to pull in a more modern version of the openssl crate.

[abdelmonem17]

unfortunately I am not directly use openssl crate instead I use creates which use openssl

[abdelmonem17]

@sfackler I installed OpenSSL 1.0.1s 1 Mar 2016
but I still have the same error, also I refered to openssl_dir and lib

note that this project compile without problems at windows 10 with OpenSSL 1.1.1i 8 Dec 2020

[sfackler]

What is the exact way you tried to build with 1.0.1, and what is the exact error you got?

[abdelmonem17]

I install openssl like this

sudo wget https://www.openssl.org/source/old/1.0.1/openssl-1.0.1s.tar.gz --no-check-certificate

and installed the downloaded file then I try to compile the project through cargo build and from clion IDE and I have the same error :

process didn't exit successfully: /home/abdelmonem/Desktop/website/website/target/debug/build/openssl-e87e3c00af340f2c/build-script-build (exit code: 101)

That contains the source code of OpenSSL. You need to compile it.

[abdelmonem17]

@sfackler

That contains the source code of OpenSSL. You need to compile it.

I already compiled it and installed it finally finally copied the openssl excitable to /user/local/bin
also I set the following environment variables

export OPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/include/openssl
export OPENSSL_LIB_DIR=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
export OPENSSL_DIR=/usr/bin

[sfackler]

Does /usr/include/openssl contain the headers for the OpenSSL you built? Copying it over your system-provided OpenSSL is a really bad idea BTW.

[abdelmonem17]

I installed OpenSSL 1.0.1e 11 Feb 2013

and pointed to the openssl using
export OPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/src/openssl-1.0.1e/include/
export OPENSSL_LIB_DIR=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
export OPENSSL_DIR=/usr/local/ssl/bin/

and compiled but I have linker error at the end like that and out to me when using openssl-1.0.2o version

[sfackler]

You are pointing to the headers in one place, and libraries in an entirely different place. Both of those should point to one specific and consistent installation.

Also, I would not recommend using a release of OpenSSL from 8 years ago.

If the problem is still relevant. Please make sure you have pkg-config
