@ -65,3 +65,21 @@ Does curl work with other SSL libraries?
If anyone does "port" curl to use a commercial SSL library, I am of course
very interested in getting the patch!
configre doesn't find OpenSSL even when it is installed
=======================================================
Platforms: Solaris (native cc compiler) and HPUX (native cc compiler)
When configuring curl, I specify --with-ssl. OpenSSL is installed in
/usr/local/ssl Configure reports SSL in /usr/local/ssl, but fails to find
CRYPTO_lock in -lcrypto
Cause: The cc for this test places the -L/usr/local/ssl/lib AFTER -lcrypto,
so ld can't find the library. This is due to a bug in the GNU autoconf tool.
Workaround: Specifying "LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/ssl/lib" in front of ./configure
places the -L/usr/local/ssl/lib early enough in the command line to make
things work
