This +means that -L switches won't matter unless OpenSSL is built with shared +library support. + +The workaround may be to change the following lines in apps/Makefile.ssl and +test/Makefile.ssl: + + LIBCRYPTO=-L.. -lcrypto + LIBSSL=-L.. -lssl + +to: + + LIBCRYPTO=../libcrypto.a + LIBSSL=../libssl.a + +It's possible that something similar is needed for shared library support +as well. That hasn't been well tested yet. + + +Another solution that many seem to recommend is to move the libraries +/usr/lib/libcrypto.0.9.dylib, /usr/lib/libssl.0.9.dylib to a different +directory, build and install OpenSSL and anything that depends on your +build, then move libcrypto.0.9.dylib and libssl.0.9.dylib back to their +original places. Note that the version numbers on those two libraries +may differ on your machine. + + +As long as Apple doesn't fix the problem with ld, this problem building +OpenSSL will remain as is. + |
