[SOLVED] Help: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lcrypt

Hi Everyone:

I am compiling a package (busybox) with static libraries. The linker keeps complaining about:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lcrypt

Originally I thought this was missing a sym link in my /lib and so I added that. Now I have both in /lib:

lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 18 Jan 30 20:51 libcrypt.so -> libcrypt-2.14.1.so
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 18 Jan 20 20:40 libcrypt.so.1 -> libcrypt-2.14.1.so

But the problem persists. What's wrong?

Static library would be libcrypt.a

yep, you are right! I didn't realize that. Now I installed the package with the static lib and the error is gone.

Code:

Please suggest!

The same again : Install the static libssl.a for your OS.
