Linking issue with libcrypto: undefined reference to `__imp__CertFreeCertificateContext'

I'm trying to cross-compile cachecoin binaries on a linux host using gitian and i686-w64-mingw for a windows target.

The compilation works fine until the final step of static linking of the dependencies. This is what I get:

/home/ubuntu/staging32/lib/libcrypto.a(e_capi.o):e_capi.c:(.text+0x1ff): undefined reference to `__imp__CertFreeCertificateContext@4'

Google suggests it's a missing -lcrypto link or even -lcrypt32. But in the last line before it fails you can see it's linking both. What's the issue here?

My gitian descriptor is available here. And this is the qmake project file. Full tail of the build log:

Any ideas?

Solution

  • (I'd rather post ask in the comments first, but I don't have enough reputation yet.)

    Judging purely from your post (I haven't tried compiling the program myself), it could be one of these three issues:

    After examining the error log once more, I'm inclined to believe it's the first option, as libcrypto seems to be importing functions from libcrypt32, but -lcrypto is almost at the end of the command line and it's not followed by any -lcrypt32.
