MinGW and qca-ossl

Hi All,

I am have real problems with the qca, openssl and the qca-ossl plugin, been on it for about 40 hours over the last 2 weeks and am about ready to give up, I've tried every which way to get it working!

I am working with Qt 4.3.5 and the latest MinGW / msys and QCA stuff. My program works great on Linux (wow, using QCA in QT4 on Linux is soo easy, it rocks!)

After numerous problems compiling both OpenSSL and QCA2, I finally got them working.

Now I can't get the qca-ossl plugin source to produce a .dll, it only seems to make .o and .a files. All the instructions on the web ( like http://psi-im.org/wiki/Build_Instruc...8qca-ossl.29_2 ) indicated I should end up with a DLL, but I never seem to.

I tried a pre-compiled one I found on the web but it won't load ( qcatool2 shows: plugin: qca-ossl2.dll: failed to load: The file 'C:/qca2/bin/crypto/qca-ossl2.dll' is not a valid
Qt plugin.)

Does anyone know I I would not be getting a .dll (no errors at compile time), and how I could make one out of the .a and .o files?

Thanks loads

r u using a pro file for it? if yes, can we see it?

I'm using the source (including .pro file) from here:

http://delta.affinix.com/download/qc...-beta3.tar.bz2

can you show the pro file here?

qca-ossl.pro:

Code:

---

TEMPLATE = lib
CONFIG += plugin
QT -= gui
DESTDIR = lib
 
VERSION = 2.0.0
 
unix:include(conf.pri)
windows:CONFIG += crypto
windows:include(conf_win.pri)
 
CONFIG += create_prl
 
SOURCES = qca-ossl.cpp
 
windows:{
	load(winlocal.prf)
	isEmpty(WINLOCAL_PREFIX) {
		error("WINLOCAL_PREFIX not found.  See http://delta.affinix.com/platform/#winlocal")
	}
 
	OPENSSL_PREFIX = $$WINLOCAL_PREFIX
	DEFINES += OSSL_097
 
	INCLUDEPATH += $$OPENSSL_PREFIX/include
	LIBS += -L$$OPENSSL_PREFIX/lib
	LIBS += -llibeay32 -lssleay32
	LIBS += -lgdi32 -lwsock32
}
 
!debug_and_release|build_pass {
        CONFIG(debug, debug|release) {
                mac:TARGET = $$member(TARGET, 0)_debug
                windows:TARGET = $$member(TARGET, 0)d
        }
}

I've been running into something similar, but I've had much more success with the current QCA in kdesupport/qca and CMake. Here is a snippet from my documentation on how to reproduce what I've done:

Install The OpenSSL-Win32 (0.9.8r) into the path C:/OpenSSL-Win32-0.9.8r/

Run the following from the Qt SDK 1.1b command prompt (run with administrator
privileges):

C:\workspace> svn checkout svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/kdesupport/qca
C:\workspace> mkdir qca-build
C:\workspace> set CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH=C:\OpenSSL-Win32\include
C:\workspace> set CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH=C:\OpenSSL-Win32\lib
C:\workspace> cd qca-build
C:\workspace\qca-build> cmake
-G"MinGW Makefiles"
-DOPENSSL_EAY_LIBRARIES=C:/OpenSSL-Win32-0.9.8r/lib/libeay32.lib
-DOPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR=C:/OpenSSL-Win32-0.9.8r/include
-DOPENSSL_LIBRARIES=C:/OpenSSL-Win32-0.9.8r/lib/ssleay32.lib
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=C:\QtSDK\Desktop\Qt\4.7.2\mi ngw ../qca
C:\workspace\qca-build> mingw32-make
C:\workspace\qca-build> mingw32-make install
