I'm done. Good to go. Good compile + new binaries all built against the latest OpenSSL libraries.

Big thank you to James, Joseph Tam and Aki Tuomi who game me pointers and kept me in the right direction. ........................................................................

These are the settings that made everything work for me.

First, needed a current, up-to-date version of OpenSSL in place. Generally pretty easy task. I discovered that OpenSSL will not create shared libraries on Solaris using GNU make. No problem, everything worked just fine using the system /usr/ccs/bin/make .

Back to Dovecot.

Environmental variables - this is what I needed for my system. Although I'm a Sys V guy, never cared for the /opt thing, and ended up adopting /Applications from NeXT .

setenv CPPFLAGS "-I/Applications/openssl-1.0.2l.32/include -I/Applications/openssl-1.0.2l.32/include/openssl" setenv LDFLAGS "-L/Applications/openssl-1.0.2l.32/lib" setenv SSL_CFLAGS "-I/Applications/openssl-1.0.2l.32/include -I/Applications/openssl-1.0.2l.32/include/openssl" setenv SSL_LIBS "-R/Applications/openssl-1.0.2l.32/lib -L/Applications/openssl-1.0.2l.32/lib" setenv LIBS "-lcrypto -lssl" setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH "/Applications/openssl-1.0.2l.32/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/xpg4/lib:/usr/openwin/lib:/usr/dt/lib"

........................................................................

Config statement:

./configure
--prefix=/Applications/dovecot-2.2.32.32
--with-ssl=openssl
--with-ssldir=/Applications/dovecot-2.2.32.31/certs

........................................................................

From there, it was run "make" then wait for the compile to finish.

It had been a while since I did a fresh Dovecot compile, and in the past, I had just used the system provided OpenSSL install.

This took a bit more work.

Hope this can help out someone else in the future.

Thank you,

Jerry
