Heiler. ---------------------------------------- Feature #13302: Provide a (force) --enable-openssl switch for ruby ./configure (or similar) https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/13302 * Author: Robert A. Heiler * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Target version: ---------------------------------------- I am currently setting up a lot of programs on a fresh installation. Ruby compiles fine but I am having some problem getting openssl to work properly. Since it is not trivial for me to find out where the problem is exactly, I would like to suggest a commandline switch option such as --enable-openssl that will only compile ruby if it can also use the openssl bindings. The ruby that is compiled without openssl is for me not very useful, largely because I can not use gem publish without openssl. If such an option would exist, it is my hope that I could use it, and then ruby would also tell me why it can not use openssl. For the record, I was using the LFS way to install openssl: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/postlfs/openssl.html Openssl also compiled fine. I suspect that ruby may get confused by some files by the host pclinuxos system but until I have found out where the problem is, I think it would be nice i ruby would have a corresponding switch to only compile if openssl can also be used, as otherwise this ruby variant is not very useful to me and I will waste time compiling something that I know won't be too useful. Sometimes going into ext/ can help here but ext/openssl is also not useful for me right now. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
