[SOLVED] linker reports missing symbol, can't find lib for symbol

[Guest jkwilborn]

Hi all, just getting down to writing some code. I have a program that will eventually give me the hash of a string within the program. Unfortunately I've had a problem of locating the proper library with the function.

 

I've included the following:

 

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

#include <openssl/md5.h>

I assume it's missing the library with the compiled functions, but can't seem to locate it.

 

I just have been using "make md5". I get the following errors:

 

Code:

dev# make md5

cc md5.c -o md5

/tmp/ccnEzHiO.o: In function `main':

md5.c:(.text+0x5a): undefined reference to `MD5_Init'

md5.c:(.text+0x7b): undefined reference to `MD5_Update'

md5.c:(.text+0xba): undefined reference to `MD5_Final'

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

make: *** [md5] Error 1

dev#

Since it's the linker (ld) complaining, I assume it's missing object libraries.

 

Thanks

 

Jack
