can't build in centos 7 about pam-mysql HOT 12 CLOSED

I am using v0.8.x branch while building the module, and I am not seeing these issues.

Here are the commands of which I use.

yum install -y gcc unzip wget make autoconf automake libtool mariadb-devel pam-devel

(within the base dir)
autoreconf -f -i 
./configure --with-cyrus-sasl2 --with-openssl --with-pam-mods-dir=/lib64/security/
make
make install

Not sure what is going wrong. But maybe these commands work for you.

Yes, I was able to get the build to work.
if you omit any of these parameters [--with-cyrus-sasl2, --with-openssl, --with-pam-mods-dir=/lib64/security/] on the ./configure line it bombs out. The INSTALL file says they are not required, but it didn't work without them. This line below is what work for centos7
./configure --with-cyrus-sasl2 --with-openssl --with-pam-mods-dir=/lib64/security/

I had everything from the yum command install "yum install -y gcc unzip wget make autoconf automake libtool mariadb-devel pam-devel"
but we had different parameters for ./configure.
Either way ./configure --with-cyrus-sasl2 --with-openssl --with-pam-mods-dir=/lib64/security/ worked!
It built with out issues.
Thank You for the quick help.
I went ahead and changed switch out some of ./configure parameters. If you drop the --with-pam-mods-dir it errors out saying
"configure: error: Your system doesn't appear to be configured to use PAM. Perhaps you need to specify the correct location where the PAM modules reside."
In the INSTALL file it says it can be omitted but I guest not since it doesn't work without it.

@darklinkworker apologies for the delay in getting back to you. Did you succeed in getting the build to work? If so, what adjustments were needed? (Perhaps we can update the INSTALL file).

I am also using CentOS 7. But for me the previously discussed
./configure --with-cyrus-sasl2 --with-openssl --with-pam_mods_dir=/usr/lib64/security
fails on my system with the following error:

...
checking if md5.h is derived from Cyrus SASL Version 1... no
checking md5.h usability... no
checking md5.h presence... no
checking for md5.h... no
checking if md5.h is Solaris's... no
checking for md5.h... (cached) no
checking for MD5Data... no
checking for library containing crypt... no
configure: error: unable to find the crypt() function

Probably I need to install something. I tried a few packages like mcrypt, libmcrypt or perl-Crypt. I was able to locate a crypt.h in /usr/include. However --with-sysroot=/usr/include or --with-sysroot=/usr did not solve the problem.

from pam-mysql.

I would try something like "yum whatprovides md5.h" (going off https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1133495/how-do-i-find-which-rpm-package-supplies-a-file-im-looking-for).

from pam-mysql.

I did yum whatprovides "*/md5.h". The (long) resulting list includes the packages openssl-devel as well as cyrus-sasl-devel, which I both have installed previously. They reside in /usr/include/openssl/md5.h respectively /usr/include/sasl/md5.h. None of the packages on the list install a md5.h into /usr/include.

I have the same problem on CentOS 7. I were able to compile and link a little test program using crypt, but I get the same "configure: error: unable to find the crypt() function" as alphanoob1337 when trying to configure pam-MySQL.

Doing "rpmbuild --rebuild pam_mysql-0.8.1-0.4.el6.wolfy.src.rpm" on the srpm from https://wolfy.fedorapeople.org/ gives the same error.

Installing the package MariaDB-shared makes the line change to

checking for library containing crypt... none required

Also, commenting out the crypt line from configure.ac, the Make command fails unable to find -lmariadb. So it seems that the crypt line in configure.ac somehow only exists to check for the mariadb lib? Why was it not able to detect that crypt existed in other libraries, like my test program mentioned above?

from pam-mysql.

Ah. The problem seems to be that the configure linker gets passed a LIBS var which includes -lmariadb. So the crypt function exists and works fine, but the configure test fails because the mariadb library is not found.

So the solution is obviously to add an explicit test for -lmariadb before the crypt test. And perhaps even to suggest in the error message to install the MariaDB-shared package. And perhaps even to add a few lines to the README with the required packages and configure arguments for CentOS.

from pam-mysql.

Investigating further, the MariaDB-shared only exists in the MariaDB repository, and not in base CentOS 7. And if I don't have the MariaDB repository added, then everything works fine without the MariaDB-shared package.

I assume that there is some kind of bug with the PAM_MYSQL_CHECK_LIBMYSQLCLIENT macro, causing it to add the -lmariadb library to the library list. But that macro is a bit too hairy for me to debug right now.

I've since change the build to use Meson so I'll close this issue.
