I use this patch to make an assembly of packages which
use openssl without care for the version installed by
the linux distro that I'm using. In this case, I'm
installing openssl in /opt/assembly. After patching,
I configure openssl as such
./Configure --prefix=/opt/assembly shared
linux-elf-rpath
After installation, my downstream packages pick up the
correct compiler options as such
$ pkg-config --libs
/opt/assmebly/lib/pkgconfig/openssl.pc
-Wl,-R/opt/assembly/lib -L/opt/etrade/lib -lssl
-lcrypto -ldl
Without this patch, downstream packages typically pull
in the OS provided openssl and weird things start
happening.
I'd be interested in your thoughts on this approach.
Thanks,
Lee Thompson
