I think you are making it more difficult than it is. I'm pretty sure our binaries already depend on openssl being installed, and we do this under the GPL system library exception. We just can't ship our own openssl (nor would I want to).
So we may just as well include libcurl, linked to the system openssl. The caveat of including libcurl is that neither curl nor openssl include the root certs, so to actually download over https:// on OSX you need those as well. The other caveat of including libcurl is that it (by default) detects and links to everything under the sun, which we would have to disable somehow when building with SAGE_FAT_BINARY=yes $ ldd `which curl` linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffcd5c7e000) libcurl.so.4 => /lib64/libcurl.so.4 (0x00007f0e6e644000) libmetalink.so.3 => /lib64/libmetalink.so.3 (0x00007f0e6e435000) libssl3.so => /lib64/libssl3.so (0x00007f0e6e1e8000) libsmime3.so => /lib64/libsmime3.so (0x00007f0e6dfc1000) libnss3.so => /lib64/libnss3.so (0x00007f0e6dc98000) libnssutil3.so => /lib64/libnssutil3.so (0x00007f0e6da69000) libplds4.so => /lib64/libplds4.so (0x00007f0e6d865000) libplc4.so => /lib64/libplc4.so (0x00007f0e6d660000) libnspr4.so => /lib64/libnspr4.so (0x00007f0e6d420000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib64/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007f0e6d204000) libdl.so.2 => /lib64/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f0e6d000000) libz.so.1 => /lib64/libz.so.1 (0x00007f0e6cde9000) libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007f0e6ca27000) libnghttp2.so.14 => /lib64/libnghttp2.so.14 (0x00007f0e6c806000) libidn.so.11 => /lib64/libidn.so.11 (0x00007f0e6c5d1000) libssh2.so.1 => /lib64/libssh2.so.1 (0x00007f0e6c3a3000) libpsl.so.5 => /lib64/libpsl.so.5 (0x00007f0e6c196000) libgssapi_krb5.so.2 => /lib64/libgssapi_krb5.so.2 (0x00007f0e6bf48000) libkrb5.so.3 => /lib64/libkrb5.so.3 (0x00007f0e6bc62000) libk5crypto.so.3 => /lib64/libk5crypto.so.3 (0x00007f0e6ba31000) libcom_err.so.2 => /lib64/libcom_err.so.2 (0x00007f0e6b82c000) liblber-2.4.so.2 => /lib64/liblber-2.4.so.2 (0x00007f0e6b61d000) libldap-2.4.so.2 => /lib64/libldap-2.4.so.2 (0x00007f0e6b3cc000) libexpat.so.1 => /lib64/libexpat.so.1 (0x00007f0e6b19f000) librt.so.1 => /lib64/librt.so.1 (0x00007f0e6af97000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x0000557b08980000) libssl.so.10 => /lib64/libssl.so.10 (0x00007f0e6ad24000) libcrypto.so.10 => /lib64/libcrypto.so.10 (0x00007f0e6a8c4000) libunistring.so.2 => /lib64/libunistring.so.2 (0x00007f0e6a594000) libkrb5support.so.0 => /lib64/libkrb5support.so.0 (0x00007f0e6a384000) libkeyutils.so.1 => /lib64/libkeyutils.so.1 (0x00007f0e6a180000) libresolv.so.2 => /lib64/libresolv.so.2 (0x00007f0e69f66000) libsasl2.so.3 => /lib64/libsasl2.so.3 (0x00007f0e69d48000) libselinux.so.1 => /lib64/libselinux.so.1 (0x00007f0e69b21000) libcrypt.so.1 => /lib64/libcrypt.so.1 (0x00007f0e698ea000) libpcre.so.1 => /lib64/libpcre.so.1 (0x00007f0e69677000) libfreebl3.so => /lib64/libfreebl3.so (0x00007f0e69474000) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
