[dovecot] Re: Configure SSL problem

[Leslie Viljoen]

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!

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..
