Compiling a 32 bit binary that uses ssl on 64 bit Debian tiered hosting

I am trying to compile a 32 bit binary that uses openssl on a 64 bit debian wheezy host.

I've followed what I think is the recommended method of adding the i386 architecture and installing libssl1.0.0: i386.

Just a simple test program doesn't bind:

#include <openssl/ssl.h>
int main(void)
{
    SSL_load_error_strings();
    return 0;
}

$ gcc -m32 -lssl -o test -Wall test.c
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lssl
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

      

        
        
        
      

    

This same command works fine without -m32.

I have 32 bit libssl:

$ locate libssl | grep i386
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.0.0
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/i586/libssl.so.1.0.0
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/i686/cmov/libssl.so.1.0.0

      

        
        
        
      

    

Adding --verbose reveals the linker command:

/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.7/collect2 --sysroot = / - build-id --no-add-needed --eh-frame-hdr -m elf_i386 --hash-style = both -dynamic-linker / lib / ld-linux.so.2 -o test / usr / lib / gcc / x86_64- Linux-gnu / 4.7 /../../../../ lib32 / crt1. o / usr / lib / gcc / x 86_64-linux-gnu / 4.7 /../../../../ lib32 / crti.o / usr / lib / gcc / x 86_64-linux-gnu / 4.7 / 32 / crtbegin.o -L / usr / lib / i386-linux-gnu -L / usr / lib / gcc / x86_64-linux-gnu / 4.7 / 32 -L / usr / lib / gcc / x86_64-linux-gnu / 4.7 /../../../ i386-linux-gnu -L / usr / lib / gcc / x86_64-linux-gnu / 4.7 /../../../../ lib32 -L / lib / i386-linux- gnu -L / lib /../ lib32 -L / usr / lib / i386-linux-gnu -L / usr / lib /../ lib32 -L / usr / lib / gcc / x86_64-linux -gnu / 4.7 - L / usr / lib / gcc / x86_64-linux-gnu / 4.7 /../../../ i386-linux-gnu -L / usr / lib / gcc / x86_64-linux-gnu / 4.7 /../../ .. -L / lib / i386-linux-gnu -L / usr / lib / i386-linux-gnu -lssl / tmp / ccI9DoNH.o -lgcc -as-needed -lgcc_s --no-as- Necessary -lc -lgcc -as-needed -lgcc_s --no-as-needed / usr / lib / gcc / x86_64-linux-gnu / 4.7 / 32 / crtend.o / usr / lib / gcc / x 86_64-linux-gnu / 4.7 /../../../../ lib32 / crtn.o

It looks like it is looking for / usr / lib / i 386-linux-gnu / where libssl.so.1.0.0 is located.

The files appear to be valid according to file

:

Another thing I thought about trying to install libssl-dev: i386, but when trying to install that wants to uninstall 64-bit gcc and g ++ compilers and 64-bit libssl-dev, which makes me think that this is not the right thing to do (and might get in the way me create 64 bit binaries):

# apt-get install libssl-dev:i386 
<..>
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  build-essential cpp g++ g++-multilib gcc gcc-multilib libssl-dev lib tool
<..>

      

        
        
        
      

    

I tried to walk; I found other people with the same problem but no solution.
