[Buildroot] - /bin/ld: cannot find -lcrypto Compilation wpa_suplicant

[Vu Hai NGUYEN]

Hello every one,
I tried to compile the program wpa_suplicant, when I run make, I was able to create 2 files executable wpa_supplicant and wpa_cli but I have this error:

  CC  wpa_passphrase.c
/home/alberix2/Cross-Compiler/Marvell_toolchain_201201/armv7-marvell-linux-gnueabi-softfp_i686/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-marvell-linux-gnueabi/4.6.2/../../../../arm-marvell-linux-gnueabi/bin/ld: cannot find -lcrypto
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [wpa_passphrase] Error 1

I have looked on the internet and found that the problem may concerned about missing library file "libcrypto.so" in the directory /lib/usr, I went into the directory of my cross compiler:
/home/alberix2/../ACCESS_POINT2_prj/output/host/usr/arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi/sysroot/usr/lib
I saw 2 file libcrypto.so.1.0.0 and libcrypto.so (this is just a link to libcrypto.so.1.0.0). Their permission is Read only, but even if I changed their permission to Read & Write, the error is still there and I don't know how to correct it.
So anyone can help me through this?
Thanks in advanced for your response.
Sincerely,

This patch implies that you are using Buildroot to build wpa_supplicant. If
so, the Buildroot mailing list is the appropriate place to discuss package
dependency problems. Make sure to post your .config file so that others are
able to reproduce the build failure you see.

Hi.
As Baruch wrote, it would be good to see your .config to reproduce the
issue.
Also knowing which buildroot version you're using would also help.
Thanks.
Regards.
