mbedcrypto lib unable to resolve external function

Postby gc-wesd » Fri Dec 02, 2022 6:37 pm

ESP-IDF v4.1.3
CPU: ESP32 Rev 3

I'm porting an application that builds in Linux using makefiles to Windows using cmake. The build almost succeeds except for the inability to coax the ESP-IDF mbedcrypto library to find a function located in our cryptoauthlib component.

The application CMakeLists.txt file includes this switch: add_compile_definitions(MBEDTLS_ECDSA_SIGN_ALT)
telling mbedtls to use the alternative signing function which is provided by cryptoauthlib. Using objdump I verify the function 'mbedtls_ecdsa_sign' is present in cryptoauthlib.

The build ends with this failure:

Code: Select all

cmd.exe /C "cd . && C:\Users\wesd\.espressif\tools\xtensa-esp32-elf\esp-2020r3-8.4.0\xtensa-esp32-elf\bin\xtensa-esp32-elf-g++.exe  -mlongcalls -Wno-frame-address   @CMakeFiles\ww-halo.elf.rsp  -o ww-halo.elf  && cd ."

collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
I'm fairly new working with cmake - is there something I need to do to induce the ESP mbedcrypto library to seach cryptoauthlib? I'm trying to avoid changing any CMakeLists.txt files in the IDF, tree but maybe it's necessary?
