What is my mistake?

Hi @gregkr

It appears you may have an older version of OpenSSL (possibly less than 1.1.0) installed on your machine. Is that the case? You might installing a new version of OpenSSL, or building SQLCipher against a newer version of OpenSSL. The problem is during the linking phase on your machine:

libtool: link: gcc -dynamiclib -o .libs/libsqlcipher.0.dylib .libs/sqlite3.o -lcrypto -install_name /usr/local/lib/libsqlcipher.0.dylib -compatibility_version 9 -current_version 9.6 -Wl,-single_module
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:

ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64

Hi @developernotes

OpenSSL 1.1.0i 14 Aug 2018

There is a function sqlcipher_openssl_hmac(…) in sqlcipher\src\cpypto_openssl.c.
And it calls HMAC_CTX_new() /HMAC_CTX_free(…). It turns out that the configuration
for darwin17.4 in configure is not provided. and by default it does not work.
What about such explanation?

Hi @developernotes

I useв your recommendation from another branch from Oct 2017

./configure … LDFLAGS=“/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.a”

Thats was enough.
Thank your very much.

Hello @gregkr

We are happy to hear you were able to resolve the compilation issue. Take care!
