本文介绍了在更新libquic并使用最新boringssl代码时遇到的编译错误及其解决方法，包括调整CMakeLists.txt中的设置以确保正确链接，并解决了因依赖项配置不当导致的未定义引用问题。

1、问题描述

libquic 支持最新 chromium 代码的过程中，发现 boringssl 库编译错误。

2、解决过程

下载最新的 boringssl 代码，在本地成功编译，因此可尝试用最新的 boringssl 代码替换现有代码来编译，但是在编译 libquic 时，出现如下错误：

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:925 (add_library):
  Error evaluating generator expression:

    $<TARGET_OBJECTS:ssl>

  Objects of target "ssl" referenced but is not an OBJECT library.

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:925 (add_library):
  No SOURCES given to target: quic

查看 libquic 的 CMakeLists.txt 对应内容：

923 add_subdirectory(src/third_party/boringssl/src)
924 
925 add_library (
926     quic
927 
928     STATIC
929 
930     ${BASE_SOURCES}
931     ${NET_SOURCES}
932     ${CRYPTO_SOURCES}
933     ${URL_SOURCES}
934     ${ZLIB_SOURCES}
935     ${PROTOBUF_LITE_SOURCES}
936     ${LIBEVENT_SOURCES}
937     # boringssl 编译出的目标文件
938     $<TARGET_OBJECTS:ssl>
939     $<TARGET_OBJECTS:crypto>
940     $<TARGET_OBJECTS:fiat>
941 
942     src/third_party/modp_b64/modp_b64.cc
943 )

梳理 add_subdirectory 及 TARGET_OBJECTS 的原理；再与原来 boringssl 的 CMakeLists.txt 比较发现，目标库 ssl、crypto 在输出语句 add_library 中均少了一个 OBJECT 关键字，
而少了它意味着无法在 libquic 中访问这两个依赖库，因为 TARGET_OBJECTS 只能引用 Object 库，即 ssl 等需要被被编译为 OBJECT 目标库。

在 ssl 的 CMakeLists.txt 中添加 OBJECT 即可解决前面所述错误。

随后出现 link crypto_test、ssl_test 的错误：

该错误出现的直接原因是将 crypto、ssl 的 CMakeLists.txt 中添加了 OBJECT 关键字导致的。
上面这些出错的未定义引用全部来自 crypto 模块的子模块 fipsmodule，而 cmake 无法将一个 OBJECT library 编译进另一个 OBJECT library，只能编译进 STATIC library，因此 fipsmodule 并未被编译进 crypto，也就不会编译进 libquic，

解决办法是直接在 libquic 的中增加对 fipsmodule 的依赖，即添加： $<TARGET_OBJECTS:fipsmodule>
