My system is Ubuntu16.04 LTS. when I use the OpenSSL EVP_MD_CTX, this error appeared. Can anyone help me?

Answer 1

I had a similar error but with EVP_CIPHER_CTX

error: storage size of ‘ctx’ isn’t known
       EVP_CIPHER_CTX ctx;

I solved with this:

EVP_CIPHER_CTX *ctx;
ctx = EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new();

I hope this helps somebody with the same problem I had.
