Can't link C++ project with openssl static libraries - c++

I have some project done on C++ and I need to compile it for Windows XP and later.
This is the header file of my RsaEncryptor class (I think it is no matter to post sources here, because I'm sure on 100% that it works fine, but if it is required I can do it):
#ifndef RSAENCRYPTOR_H_
#define RSAENCRYPTOR_H_
#include <stdexcept>
#include <openssl/rsa.h>
#include <openssl/engine.h>
#include <openssl/pem.h>
// One of this paddings can be used
//#define PADDING RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING
#define PADDING RSA_PKCS1_PADDING
//#define PADDING RSA_NO_PADDING
class RsaEncryptor {
private:
RSA* publicKey;
RSA* privateKey;
public:
RsaEncryptor() {
publicKey = nullptr;
privateKey = nullptr;
}
~RsaEncryptor() {
if ( this->publicKey )
RSA_free( this->publicKey );
if ( this->privateKey )
RSA_free( this->privateKey );
}
size_t GetCipherBytesCount() {
return 172; //is default for 1024 bit key length
}
void SetPublicKeyFromString(const std::string& content);
void SetPrivateKeyFromString(const std::string& content);
std::string Encrypt(const std::string& plainData);
std::string Decrypt(const std::string& cipherData);
};
#endif /* RSAENCRYPTOR_H_ */
I use latest version of Eclipse Neon for C++ development on Windows 10 x64 machine.
Also I have read this:
(...) you will need to configure with no-async when building OpenSSL 1.1.0 and above for Windows XP or Vista
And I was guided by following instructions.
What did I do:
install Ubuntu 17.04 x64 inside Virtual Box under Windows 10 x64.
download latest version of OpenSSL library from Ubuntu
install mxe and all requirements (but can't compile with it and I decide to use mingw32)
install mingw32 via root#user-pc:/home/user# apt-get install gcc-mingw-w64-i686
unpack OpenSSL library in /home/user/openssl-x32
go to /home/user/openssl-x32
run ./Configure mingw --cross-compile-prefix=i686-w64-mingw32 --prefix=/home/user/builds/openssl-x32-static no-shared no-async
run make
run make install
copy libssl.a and libcrypto.a from /home/user/builds/openssl-x32-static/lib to host machine (Windows 10 x64) to folder E:\MyProjects\my-app\libraries\
copy include directory from Ubuntu to host machine in folder E:\MyProjects\my-app\include
Add libraries folder to linker configurations
Add include folder to compiler configurations
Then, I build my project and got following answer:

I need just link my completed C++ project with correct-compiled (with flag no-async) OpenSSL library to let it work under old versions of Windows.
I will be happy to get any help with this issue.

Most if not all of the undefined symbols in your error log come from Winsock. Try linking with -lws2_32.

Unable to link with undefined reference to VTT for CryptoPP::RSAFunction

I'm using Crypto++ on aarch64, I'm facing a problem when compiling my binary which use cryptopp-7.0.0, the only link problem I face is related to RSAFunction, all the other classes worked perfectly, here is the program itself which is really a basic one that isolate the problem:
#include "cryptopp/rsa.h"
using CryptoPP::RSA;
#include <string.h>
using std::string;
#include <unistd.h>
int main(void)
{
RSA::PublicKey publicKey;
return 0;
}
When trying to compile with this command:
~$ toolchain/bin/aarch64-libreelec-linux-gnueabi-g++ cryptopptestfile.cpp -o crypttest -L/toolchain/usr/lib -lcryptopp
I got those errors:

This is only related to :
cryptopp::RSAFunction(s)
Thanks for help.
Here is the compilation flags:
arch64-libreelec-linux-gnueabi-g++ -march=armv8-a+crc+fp+simd -mabi=lp64 -Wno-psabi -mcpu=cortex-a53+crc+fp+simd -fomit-frame-pointer -Wall -pipe -Os -flto -ffat-lto-objects -fPIC -pipe -c rsa.cpp
g++ version:
6.2.0
Issue identified, it is because of this compilation flag :
-flto
As soon as I remove this compiling flag, everything works normal, please note that activating this flag which is:
-flto:
This option runs the standard link-time optimizer. When invoked with
source code, it generates GIMPLE (one of GCC’s internal representations)
and writes it to special ELF sections in the object file. When the object
files are linked together, all the function bodies are read from these ELF
sections and instantiated as if they had been part of the same translation
unit.
This flag breaks the linker when using RSAFunction(s), tested from version 6.0.0 to 8.0.0

Programming with no dependencies

I'm trying to make a PE (Portable Executable which will work with Windows XP+ and which has no dependencies.
I found this guide quite interesting http://www.catch22.net/tuts/reducing-executable-size
#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
#include <windows.h>
extern "C" int __cdecl __purecall(void)
{

}
extern "C" int __cdecl main();
extern "C" int __cdecl mainCRTStartup( void )
{
int mainret;
mainret = main();
ExitProcess(mainret);
}
And I compile it with
g++ -Wall -o2 -s -nodefaultlibs main.cpp -o test.exe
And it's giving me a bunch of errors: http://i.stack.imgur.com/fIFoD.png

As far as I understood, my mainCRTStartup is interfering with another mainCRTStartup which my compiler is adding.
I'm using TDM-GCC on Windows.
After the suggestion to use -nostdlib instead of -nodefaultlibs I'm getting much less errors.
The ones I currently have are

C:\Users\Main.cpp\AppData\Local\Temp\ccMYa3VN.o:main.cpp:(.text+0x31): undefined reference to `ExitProcess#4'
GCC use some internal subroutines, contained in libgcc.a, that cannot be excluded.
See https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-5.3.0/gcc/Link-Options.html#Link-Options:
One of the standard libraries bypassed by -nostdlib and -nodefaultlibs
is libgcc.a, a library of internal subroutines which GCC uses to
overcome shortcomings of particular machines, or special needs for
some languages. (See Interfacing to GCC Output, for more discussion of
libgcc.a.) In most cases, you need libgcc.a even when you want to
avoid other standard libraries. In other words, when you specify
-nostdlib or -nodefaultlibs you should usually specify -lgcc as well. This ensures that you have no unresolved references to internal GCC
library subroutines.
P.S. The functions ExitProcess and SetUnhandledExceptionFilter are from kernel32.lib that you must include in linker stream. You can reduce libraries, but can't omit system and OS libraries.

c++ tidy linker error

I am new to c++ and I have the following problem:
files:
- main.cpp
- utils.h
- utils.cpp
When I am doing:
g++ -c -std=c++11 utils.cpp (compiles)
g++ -c -std=c++11 main.cpp (compiles)
when I try to link:
g++ -o main.o utils.o
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-redhat-linux/4.8.3/../../../crt1.o: In function _start':

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
In utils.cpp I have a function clean_html. When I remove this function the code is linked with success.
I am using gcc version 4.8.3 20140911 (Red Hat 4.8.3-7) (GCC) .
Tidy is installed via fedora repos using:
Package libtidy-devel-0.99.0-28.20091203.fc19.i686 already installed and latest version
Package libtidy-0.99.0-28.20091203.fc19.i686 already installed and latest version
Edit:
Forgot to mention:
- I include tidy.h using
#include
tidy.h is at /usr/include/tidy.h
You need to add -ltidy to your link command.

Unable to link to GraphicsMagik

I'm trying to build a little utility program that relies upon GraphicsMagick C++ library but I got the following error when linking to the library:

Why does the library in /usr/local/lib refers to GraphicsMagick source code (that I've built and installed)?
Errors says that you need to link with libpng too.
You having very descriptive source-code related errors because you've built graphicsmagick with debugging symbols. In release build (or if you'll strip debugging symbols out of debug build) you'll see only undefined function names, without source code references of where they're being used.

Boost static linking issue with G++

I have an application, with dynamic linking all ok, but when i trying to compile with static linking, i have errors below.
My app uses boost thread, asio
Error:
/tmp/ccMj2fHI.o: In function `__static_initialization_and_destruction_0(int, int)':
test.cpp:(.text+0x237): undefined reference to `boost::system::get_system_category()'

And similar errors for all source files.
Compile command line:
g++ -L /usr/lib/ -lboost_system -lboost_thread -o newserver -static
/usr/lib/libboost_thread.a /usr/lib/libboost_system.a stdafx.cpp
test.cpp AccountSe.cpp ... -lpthread -std=c++0x
It mostly likely is due to your linking order. Boost libraries appear first in the command line, and after processing them, the linker, will discard unreferenced symbols before proceeding to link other object files and libraries.
Put boost libraries after your sources and before -lpthread.
