Error building CST 3.3.1 for Ubuntu 22.04

[robert_taylor]

Hi

I'm trying to build CST 3.3.1 in Ubuntu 22.04 and it immediately fails with

kmx-cst/code/back_end-engine/src$ make
make: *** No rule to make target '../../../linux64/lib/libfrontend.a', needed by 'cst'. Stop.

This lib is indeed missing and I cant locate it in your site

Thanks in advance

How about 3.1.0 build in Ubuntu 22.04? Has that been tested?

[Bio_TICFSL]

No, The CST version go with the yocto BSP and they were testing on Ubuntu 18.04, next BSP will tested on ubuntu 20 or ubuntu 22.

[Bio_TICFSL]

Hello,

You must try ubuntu 18.04 because ubuntu 22.04 was not tested with this version of CTS.

Thanks for the reply. 

We build the CST and then create a debian with custom scripts calling a backend. We need the debian to run on Ubuntu 22.04 for signing purposes. 

I managed to compile this against OpenSSL 1.1.1 and then build the debian but we see some funky behaviour. Are we able to hack 3.1.0 the same way?

Jammy is now OpenSSL 3.0.0 do you plan to upgrade the CST? 

[Bio_TICFSL]

Yes, we planned to refresh the cst image but right now this just happen when you build on ubuntu 22.04. So far there is no schedule when cst will be available.

NXP uses weaken to solve conflict in linking.

On Ubuntu 22.04(LTS) this fails to link cst with libcrypto.

The patch fixes the conflict in the code itself.

It restricts the scope of err_msg to the module.
