[dovecot] Re: Configure SSL problem

Thanks, I tried this, but it also didn't work.

OpenSSL's .h files are in /usr/local/ssl/include/openssl. I copied all these .h files to /usr/local/ssl/include - and tried both options below - but the configure script still says "Building with SSL support........... no"

The problem seems to stem from: checking for SSL_read in -lssl... (cached) no

My libcrypto.so and libssl.so files are in /usr/local/ssl/lib - this path has been added to /etc/ld.so.conf and I have run ldconfig.

Configure seems to be trying to compile this C file to test the SSL_read function:

#line 7757 "configure" #include "confdefs.h" /* Override any gcc2 internal prototype to avoid an error. */ /* We use char because int might match the return type of a gcc2 builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply. */ char SSL_read();

int main() { SSL_read() ; return 0; }

I can compile this myself if I include -I /usr/local/ssl/include and I replace the "confdefs.h" with "ssl.h".

So I just don't know!

Hi everyone

I have been trying to get Dovecot installed with OpenSSL support, but no matter what I do, when I run Configure, it says "Building with SSL support.........No". I have even tried configure --with-ssl=openssl, to no avail.

I have built and installed OpenSSL, and libssl.so and libcrypto.so are in the /lib directory - what more does Dovecot want? I have tried figuring it out from the Configure script itself but it's cryptic and I am no shell script boffin!

Did your ssl include files get installed in the fairly standard /usr/local/ssl/include ? If so try something like:

./configure --with-ssl=openssl --includedir=/usr/local/ssl/include

Maybe "configure" could be trained to look there by default..
