Hi, 

I'm trying to do HTTPS POST using curl with CA certificate, but I got an error as "curl_easy_perform() failed: Couldn't connect to server". The same code works on a Linux machine but not on my target board, I can't understand what I'm missing. I have an active internet connection without any firewall. Kindly please give any suggestions.

Thanks & Regards,
Vijay

check what all packageconfig is being used are you using gnutls, then you might want to try nss or openssl and see if that helps.

 Hi Khem Raj,

Thanks for the reply. I had installed openssl and curl, but not gnutls because compilation was successful. I’ll definitely try ur suggestion. Thank you! 

Please correct me if I’m wrong, even if dependent packages are not installed on target system will compilation done successfully? I’m
also facing similar issue with zbar, compilation was successful and perfectly executing on Linux PC, but not my target board even after installing zbar package. 

Thanks & Regards,
Vijay Rakesh.

hard to say, unless more details are available, usually runtime deps
and build time deps are handled fine but there might
be some outliers.

Hi Khem Raj,

It worked. Included gnutls and tested with other network.

Hi Khem raj,

Regarding zbar, I found the video option was disabled in the .bb file, so I had changed it to --enable-video and ran the build, but the build failed at do_install. Do I Need to make change anything else?

you might want to check if there is a way to disable
building/installing manpages, most of the times you don't need them on
embedded targets.

Hi Khem Raj,

I had checked, but I couldn’t find any such option in .bb file. As I’m to new to Yocto, can you kindly please tell me how to remove man page option.

Thanks & Regards,
