This is not an OpenSSL issue; it's an autoconf one. >From your installation log:

Autoconf should be generating an extern declaration for BIO_read in conftest.c; apparently whoever wrote that bit of autoconf doesn't know C. (No surprise there.) I suspect it normally works because gcc is configured with different default settings and treats the lack of a declaration as non-fatal. I don't know why it's different in your case, and I have no idea how to fix it, as I've never had to poke into the implementation of autoconf and don't know what's making your gcc behave differently. -- Michael Wojcik Technology Specialist, Micro Focus _______________________________________________ openssl-users mailing list To unsubscribe: https://mta.openssl.org/mailman/listinfo/openssl-users
