Gerald, according to the README.Wireshark file found in gnutls-2.12.18-1.2-win32ws archive, you manually modified the OpenSUSE packages: - Definition files were created using "pexports". - Import libraries were created using the MSVC++ "lib" utility using the "make-lib.sh" script. I do not know where to find those utilities neither how to use them.
"pexports" is its own package in OpenSUSE, although it looks like "gendef" (or even libtool itself) might be the preferred way to generate .def files nowadays. "make-lib.sh" is in the "bin" directory in gnutls-2.12.18-1.2-win32ws.zip. It's just a series of "lib" commands, e.g. lib /machine:x86 /def:libgcrypt-11.def /name:libgcrypt-11.dll \ /out:libgcrypt-11.lib
Maybe those missing steps on my side can explain my issue. Would you be OK if we to try to upgrade those libraries? If yes, could you help? 2 small things I noted: - libgcrypt-11.dll/lib is now renamed libgcrypt-20.dll/lib. It impacts config.nmake, Makefile.nmake, cmake\modules\FindGCRYPT.cmake, packaging\nsis\wireshark.nsi and ui\qt\QtShark.pro - the openSUSE libraries require an extra libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll file found in mingw32-libgcc-4.8.2-1.2.noarch.rpm archive (my own compiled libraries did not need it but I failed to compile a win64 variant so far).
It looks like that's an exception handling library which can be linked statically: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12921911/mingw-libgcc-s-sjlj-1-dll-is-missing
Hi all, I restarted playing with the libraries provided by OpenSUSE this weekend and was able to get libgcrypt 1.6.0 working on my Windows machine. The remaining problem is that we should either recompile GnuTLS 2.12.18 with this newer libgcrypt (Im' not willing to do so), or upgrade GnuTLS to the version 3.1.22 provided by OpenSUSE. We deactivated the use of GnuTLS 3.X in the past due to their move to GPL3.0. But according to their website and the header files, the core library is still LGPL 2.1+. Would it make it usable for us?
GnuTLS switched to LGPLv3+ in version 3.0, then back to LGPLv2.1+ in version 3.1.10. We need switch to a newer 3.x release at some point since the 2.12 branch is no longer maintained as far as I know. However, we need to be careful with the version of GMP that we ship since it switched to LGPLv3+: https://gmplib.org/list-archives/gmp-devel/2013-August/003357.html ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
