I'm trying to set up ssh for my bbs. When I start mis server it shows
Cryptlib missing.

So I go to the Mystic wiki and follow the instruxtions to install

I get thee following error when I do sudo make shared.

error: invalid operands to binary expression ('va_list' (aka '__builtin_va_list') and 'void *') REQUIRES_B( verifyVAList( argPtr ) ); ~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Am I missing something?

Did you "unzip -a" the cryptlib source. It's important to do that on linux because the source files have CR/LF line endings and that creates problems on linux.

Yes. Ii did exactly like the wki said. And I tried v 3.4.5 and 3.4.6.
Just in case the beta had problems.

Hmm. I wonder if there is a missing dependency but I couldn't tell from the error message.

It compiles on my slackware box without issues.

I'm figuring that either I'm missing a dependency like you said. just no clue what it is. I'll keep experimenting.

Hello Al!

I just compiled 3.4.6 on my Debian 10 box, and it compiled fine, but after installing it and restarting MIS and connecting via SSH (using SyncTerm 1.0) I get:

+ 2020.12.16 11:48:34 SSH 1-Negotiating SSH session
+ 2020.12.16 11:48:34 SSH Unable to set key (-2 )
+ 2020.12.16 11:48:34 SSH 1-Session failed

Has anyone else managed to get cryptlib 3.4.6 (beta) working with Mystic (I'm running 1.12 A47 2020/12/04)?

Thanks in advance! :)

Best regards

I would try 3.4.5. The beta may have new stuff that Syncterm doesn't work with. I have never tried it so I can't say for sure.

I wonder if anyone has built cryptlib on a Pi and can give Charles any hints?

Yep. Perhaps they even changed the API so that Mystic would need to be recompiled against it... but perhaps it would refuse to start entirely then.

Hmm... Maybe SyncTerm 1.0 only supports CBC ciphers, and cryptlib 3.4.6 removed them...

Things can and do change.. :)

Syncterm 1.1 was released a few months ago. I would try that also.. :)

My Synchronet and SyncTERM are using 3.4.5 with good results.

Yes, perhaps I should try that... although I think some of the new(er) versions had some obscure bugs regarding downloads etc., but perhaps those have been sorted out by now.

Yep, also running 3.4.5 for now. Seems to be working fine (although support for non-CBC ciphers would be good for compatibility with e.g. ssh commands and PuTTY, for those using these programs.

We'll see, I guess... :-)

And you can only copy via the scrollback and you can't paste at all. That's why I'm still using 1.0.

Keep in mind that synchronet and syncterm patch cryptlib a lot, and as
far as I know mystic uses cryptlib as is.

Thanks! Sounds like I'll stay on 1.0 for a while then. :)
