Does that "<long path>" correspond to $(SSLDIR)/base?
I'd suggest trying leaving everything pointing to where it should go on the
target system and using --install_prefix for the temp directory location or
doing make install_sw INSTALL_PREFIX=/some/path
location.
OK, so now I have:
./Configure fips no-asm no-hw shared --install_prefix="$(SSLDIR)/base" --prefix="/usr"
--with-fipsdir="$(SSLDIR)/fips" $(CROSS) && \
$(MAKE) && \
$(MAKE) install_sw
but when I run openssl on the target machine I still get the same warning
message.
yes, <long path> == $(SSLDIR)/base.
