Hi all.
I must say I'm a bit puzzled with this one. This is my problem. I'm
building OpenSSL 0.9.8a on Tru64 UNIX 4.0D. I'm using native CC and GNU
Make. Everything builds fine, haven't run test, yet, because I noticed
one pecauliarity. When I listed dynamic libraries linket into "openssl"
binary, this is what I got:
Legba:/home/r/root/build/openssl-0.9.8a# odump -Dl apps/openssl
***LIBRARY LIST SECTION***
Name Time-Stamp CheckSum Flags Version
apps/openssl:
libssl.so Nov 24 14:24:18 2005 0xdf8c8e84 0 0.9.8"
libcrypto.so Nov 24 14:24:14 2005 0x3f2adb08 0 0.9.8"
libpthread.so Jun 25 21:19:35 2001 0xb751ba06 0 osf.1
libmach.so Dec 30 00:16:41 1997 0xe151181d 0 osf.1
libexc.so Jun 26 23:06:59 1998 0xbf6e7df3 0 osf.1
libc.so Jun 25 21:14:05 2001 0x5cbd50dd 0 osf.1
Notice that the version of the OpenSSL libraries is 0.9.8". The
quotation mark at the end is what puzzles me. It would appear that
"libssl.so" and "libcrypto.so" were built with that string for version.
I have verified that "openssl" utility works with these libraries, so no
mistake there (and there couldn't be any, since linker writes it). I
could live with it, I guess, but I hate it when something is (is it?)
obviously out of place.
Can someone shed some light on this?
How can I inspect the version written in the library file itself?
Nix.
