We looked at this issue in yesterday's developer meeting. Kazuki's improved log seems good so please go ahead. Another possible way proposed there was to mandate openssl installation when configure is run with --with-ext=openssl, i.e. --with-ext (which is rarely used now) to generate Makefile so that make all depends on the given extension library. ---------------------------------------- Feature #13302: Provide a (force) --enable-openssl switch for ruby ./configure (or similar) https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/13302#change-64315 * Author: shevegen (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:
