MySQL Bugs: #5396: libmysqld shouldn't depend on SSL

Bug #5396	libmysqld shouldn't depend on SSL
Submitted:	3 Sep 2004 20:05	Modified:	14 Sep 2004 8:16
Reporter:	Paul DuBois
Status:	Closed
Category:	libmysqld	Severity:	S3 (Non-critical)
Version:	4.1.X (including 4.1.4-bk)	OS:	Mac OS X (Mac OS X)
Assigned to:	Alexey Botchkov	Target Version:

Description:
I typically build with --with-vio and --with-openssl so that my MySQL client
libraries include OpenSSL support, and mysql_config --libs dutifully returns
a string that includes -lssl so that client programs link correctly.

mysql_config --libmysqld-libs does *not* include -lssl, because the
embedded server does not have a dependency on OpenSSL.

At least that used to be true.  I tried building an app today that
uses libmysqld and tried linking it against 4.1.4 and it failed with
a bunch of linker errors.  Commands below.  (The linker flags result
from using `mysql_config --libmysqld-libs` on the link command.)

gcc -c -I/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql embapp.c
gcc -o embapp embapp.o -L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqld -lz -lm
ld: Undefined symbols:
_BN_bin2bn

_SSL_load_error_strings
_TLSv1_client_method
_TLSv1_server_method
_X509_NAME_oneline
_X509_STORE_CTX_get_current_cert
...

This does not occur for 4.0.x, and it does not occur for 4.1.0.  It
does occur for 4.1.1 through 4.1.4.  This is on Mac OS X.

Does libmysqld now have a dependency on OpenSSL if MySQL is built with
OpenSSL support?  If so, mysql_config --libmysqld-libs should produce
output that lists the SSL libs...

How to repeat:
See above.

Now embedded library can connect to the standalone server (contains libmysql's
capabilities). So we just to add client libraries to embedded linker's line
