Hi,
using openSSL for our imap mail client
(http://mahogany.home.dhs.org/), I found that openSSL would
not install any header file with configuration information,
such as e.g. a
#define NO_IDEA
This means, that whoever compiles a package using openSSL
must know the options used to compile the openSSL library
itself, so to add e.g. -DNO_IDEA to the packages compiler
flags.
You could make life for application developers/users much
easier by installing a small file, such as
openssl/config.h
which would include the settings needed to compile it,
i.e. if compiled with "no-idea", it would include
#define NO_IDEA
Then, if that file gets included either by the openSSL
headers themselves or the application source before
including the other openSSL headers, everythign would use
the correct settings automatically.
Regards,
