Nix-build uses an older version of openssl about vanitygen-plusplus HOT 3 CLOSED

@SatoshiGuacamole It's always best to run in a "pure" environment (so that only the build inputs specifically specified in the default.nix or shell.nix are available to the build, and NOT anything else installed into your OS itself). Try running nix-shell --pure first before running nix-build, and it should automatically use the openssl version specified in the default.nix, which is a v3.

@pmarreck Thanks for the additional information in pull request #48

@SatoshiGuacamole Now, I can use openssl v3. Here is my steps:

$ ldd result/bin/vanitygen++        # Check the linked openssl version
	......
	libcrypto.so.1.1 => /nix/store/f7jpwsi3yiy98pjv6m06m5j2hxds84cm-openssl-1.1.1j/lib/libcrypto.so.1.1 (0x00007fb3bd6ab000)
	......

There are three channels, 22.05: openssl 1.1.1s / 22.11: openssl 3.0.7 / unstable: openssl 3.0.7, make sure I'm not using channel 22.05.

$ nix-channel --list                # Listing current channels
nixpkgs https://nixos.org/channels/nixpkgs-unstable

$ nix-channel --update              # Updating all channels

$ nix-build                         # Build it

$ ldd result/bin/vanitygen++        # Check the linked openssl version (now, it use 3.0.7)
	......
	libcrypto.so.3 => /nix/store/zpwhl35d2dkj0p4bli5wp6sw1vfsyab5-openssl-3.0.7/lib/libcrypto.so.3 (0x00007f78186c3000)

I think the most critical step is to run nix-channel --update.

ah, nice! yes, I should have done this as a flake; then that wouldn't have been a problem. My channels are always updated because I run on NixOS and am always updating the system as if it was a rolling release, lol. Maybe I will submit a PR for the flakes version of this soon. ;)
