[Dovecot] [SOLVED] Building dovecot with SSL support on Solaris

Hi all,

I finally managed to make ./configure result in returning.
Building with SSL support ........... : yes (OpenSSL)

I achieved this by adding "-ldl" to LDFLAGS. At the moment, my
configure script looks like this:
(Attention: First line may have been broken!)
#! /bin/sh
CC=gcc CFLAGS="-g -O" CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/ssl/include LDFLAGS='-L/usr/local/ssl/lib -ldl' ./configure \
        --prefix=/usr/local \
        --with-ssl=openssl \
        --with-ssldir=/usr/local/ssl/certs

As I'm not very familiar with all the stuff concerning programming
etc., I don't know exactly what this option "-ldl" means.
All I can say is that it refers to how the binary to be produced will
be linked against libraries.

Maybe someone can drop some words on this...?

Thanks to all of you who spent some brain on my problem!

Regards,
Christian
