Re: [BugDB] Ultrix Problem: Build Can't Find SSL Headers (PR#168)

 yacc -d -l ssl_expr_parse.y
  fatal error: illegal option: l, line 1
 *** Error code 1

Ok, that's perhaps my fault: The yacc target should _NEVER_ be
called for end users like you.  It's for the maintainer (me)
only and I use BSD yacc which knows -l. I'll add a "touch" to
make sure the target is not called for end users.

This seems to me to be a blemish on an otherwise excellent package.
Modssl is supposed to be a source distribution and the .y file is
part of the source.  The y.tab.c file generated from the .y should
be thought of as an intermediate non-source file, like the assembly
file generated by the C compiler.

I'm not sure what the -l option in BSD yacc does.  If it's something
important and Bison doesn't do it and you can't manage without it,
please write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] saying that Bison is missing a
useful feature that you need, and hopefully Bison's maintainers will
add the feature to the next version of Bison.  GNU systems (including
most Linux-based systems) use Bison partly because it does some things
that BSD yacc doesn't; in fact I think that building GCC from sources
requires Bison.  If modssl won't compile from source (meaning
including the .y) on a standard Linux system, that seems like a
shortcoming that should really be addressed.  Otherwise, any modssl
source package (rpm, debian package, etc.) should have a dependency
for BSD yacc, so the user automatically install yacc to compile modssl.

Re: [BugDB] Ultrix Problem: Build Can't Find SSL Headers (PR#168)

 But, when I try building mod_ssl-2.2.8_1.3.6, I get :-
   + SSL interface vendor extensions: disabled
 Unknown flag
   + SSL interface plugin: Configured DBM (-ldbm)
 Error: Cannot find SSL header files under
 /data/arc/apache/openssl-SNAP-19990426
   + SSL library path: /data/arc/apache/openssl-SNAP-19990426
 ./configure:Error: APACI failed
 
 Sure, you use a very recent snapshot of OpenSSL but a release version of
 mod_ssl. That doesn't work because of OpenSSL API changes for 0.9.3. 

OK - that explains a lot - thanks Ralf.

HOWEVER, I'm sorry but having just had a look round the CVS part of
www.modssl.org, I really don't think I'm capable of trying to assemble a
working distribution - at least not without first learning all about CVS
(I've never used it) and rsync (likewise).

So is there any chance you could produce a Snapshot tarball or two, in the
same way as the OpenSSL site does ?

Otherwise I'm going to have to try to identify and back-port Ulf's Ultrix
fixes from 
openssl-SNAP-19990426 into openssl-0.9.2b, or give up on an Ultrix secure
web server for now.

Thanks,

 You've to
 use also the latest mod_ssl CVS version.  This compiles fine with the
 latest
 OpenSSL snapshot states.
