[yocto] How to remove openssl from sysroots

[Raymond Yeung]

You may have missed one of my emails (still included here below) w.r.t. where the issue came from.  It's coming from application code outside of Yocto that is built as 32-bit apps, while Poky/BSP are built in 64-bit.

Just fix the build issue. Look into how opensslconf.h gets created and where the -32 suffix comes from and why the included file is absent.

Seriously - that is less effort than trying to make Yocto do what it really was not designed for, and certainly takes less than one week to resolve.

Also, you do not have to use core-image-minimal or -sato, or any of the standard images, if they pull in things that you do not want. Write your own image recipe, and specify there precisely what you want.

We're not going to integrate everything into one homogeneous package.  Poky and BSP would be together.  Then, we've application codes that we'd build in the same old way with SCONs the way we do before.  The two parts would link together.


And we do have a number of 3rd party vendor packages beside openssl.  Currently, the issue with openssl is that, we run into build issue with the version we got in 2016 release.  See this:




In file included from /volume/tools/x86_64_linux.x86_64/2.1.3/sysroots/corei7-64-poky-linux/usr/include/openssl/evp.h:66:0,

                 from src/infra/utils/obf/cv_obfuscate.c:20:

/volume/tools/x86_64_linux.x86_64/2.1.3/sysroots/corei7-64-poky-linux/usr/include/openssl/opensslconf.h:41:36: fatal error: openssl/opensslconf-32.h: No such file or directory

We plan to use 64-bit kernel, and 32-bit applications.  Perhaps that explains the issue above.  We don't want to spend a lot of effort doing porting simply because we adopt Yocto.  So ideally, if we could remove what's in Yocto, we could integrate our apps with our own openssl; no changes, including upgrade, would be needed.  We'd upgrade when we're ready.

Another question from my team is why the "minimal" package includes connectivity, which includes openssl?
