[dpdk-dev] OpenSSL 3.0 released, deprecated functions - DPDK crypto compilation issues

[Zhang, Roy Fan]

Hi Akhil,

Meson may pop warnings when detected the libcrypto APIs that are marked as deprecated – but for now it is still compliable.
For now shall we not touching it but fix the problem in future releases (we need to address before it is gone for sure)?

Regards,
Fan

Hi Arek,

Can you submit changes for the meson files needed to compile it with 3.0 if needed?

Regards,
Akhil

Hi,

OpenSSL 3.0 is now released and since some PMDs in DPDK depends on libcrypto deprecated now functions, anyone who install 3.0 may see compilation problems.
So we suggest in case adaptation cannot be made in time to put version constraint in meson dependencies “version : '<3.0.0'”, it probably will not work with OpenSSL installed from source though (at least did not work for me).

Regards,
Arek
