Can I use my own compiled openssl library to replace the deps/openssl

[ruhuang2001]

I currently have a hardware acceleration cryptographic card that supports SM2/SM4. The cryptographic card provides an OpenSSL interface like these:

Now I want to test whether pipy can use the cryptographic card for acceleration, but I am having difficulty replacing OpenSSL. Do you have any suggestions to use these .so files.

Thanks a lot!

Hi,

You can use -DPIPY_OPENSSL=/path/to/your/lib to replace the default openssl lib directly If your APIs are compatible with openssl. Otherwise you may need to use nmi to support your APIs.

BTW, to use NMI, you could refer to samples/nmi.
Cheers,

To use system installed openssl, all you have to do is use -DPIPY_USE_SYSTEM_OPENSSL=ON cmake option when compiling pipy to dynamically link against system installed openssl.

Make sure system installed openssl is discoverable by cmake or else compilation will fail.

Thanks for reply!

The password card company only provided me with these dynamic libraries. I noticed that pipy uses static libraries, so build failed. I am asking them if they can provide static libraries to attempt the build.

I might only use these .so or .a files, not sure whether the system installed openssl is being used.
