I am using the below code that i found somewhere in the net and i am getting an error when i try to build it. The compilation is ok.
Here is the error:
/tmp/ccCnp11F.o: In function `main':
crypt.c:(.text+0xf1): undefined reference to `crypt'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
and here is the code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <crypt.h>
int main()
{
unsigned long seed[2];
char salt[] = "$1$........";
const char *const seedchars =
"./0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST"
"UVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
char *password;
int i;
/* Generate a (not very) random seed.
You should do it better than this... */
seed[0] = time(NULL);
seed[1] = getpid() ^ (seed[0] >> 14 & 0x30000);
/* Turn it into printable characters from `seedchars'. */
for (i = 0; i < 8; i++)
salt[3+i] = seedchars[(seed[i/5] >> (i%5)*6) & 0x3f];
/* Read in the user's password and encrypt it. */
password = crypt(getpass("Password:"), salt);
/* Print the results. */
puts(password);
return 0;
}
crypt.c:(.text+0xf1): undefined reference to 'crypt'
is a linker error.
Try linking with -lcrypt
: gcc crypt.c -lcrypt
.
