u-boot compilation errors

Question

Dear all,

I am downloading u-boot code from following link,
https://github.com/Xilinx/u-boot-xlnx

with "git clone https://github.com/Xilinx/u-boot-xlnx.git"
I am trying to compile with

make ARCH=arm zynq_zed_config
make ARCH=arm

I am getting error as

"In file included from tools/aisimage.c:10:0:
include/image.h:880:27: fatal error: openssl/evp.h: No such file or directory"

can you please help me out to resolve the problem.

Thanks & Regards

I just ran into this exact issue and found a solution. It turns out I was missing the openssl library. To get it, I did:
yum install openssl-devel.x86_64
(P.S. This should work on CentOS/RedHat. You'll need to find the equivalent for your system if it's something else.)
(P.P.S. You should do this as root/sudo to avoid permission issues.)

I had originally just installed the 32-bit library by doing:
yum install openssl-devel.i686
That cleared the header issue, but gave the following error when it tried to link:
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.4.7/../../../libssl.so when searching for -lssl
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libssl.so when searching for -lssl

The smoking gun that told me I needed the 64-bit lib was where it says "x86_64".

Under no circumstance should you try downloading the openssl sources and compiling/cross-compiling them yourself. It was a complete waste of time.

BTW - I am using Code Sourcery/Petalinux tool chain -- although this error is coming from the HOST tool chain.

Hope this helps...
