Cross Compiling OpenVPN with the FIPS Object Module SSL

Post by gouchet01 » Thu Dec 11, 2014 3:54 am

Hello everyone!

I am trying to create an executable file for Windows by cross-compiling OpenVPN on a Linux environment.
What I am looking for is cross compiling OVPN using the FIPS Object Module from OpenSSL, and this is generating issues.

I installed on my system the FIPS Object Module from OpenSSL following the instructions from the Security Policy.
I installed openSSL taking in account this object module (this works fine).

How can I cross compile OpenVPN and include the FIPS Object Module from OpenSSL?

I have been trying to edit the build script from openvpn-build/generic/ folder and at the OpenSSL line:
./Configure fips (and then the rest)
but it does not work, I get the error: fipscanister.o not recognized (this is one of the file that the FIPS Object module generates).

Any super smart ideas?

Best,
Q
