Aiiggggghhh - I cannot take it anymore (autoconf cometh?!)

1999-07-09 Thread Lenny Foner
I'd be very happy if OpenSSL used GNU autoconf, and did -not- use Perl, to compile itself. I use a totally-autoconfed version of SSLeay 0.8.1, which was created for a project of mine that uses autoconf for all the rest of its pieces as well (it's built out of a substantial quantity of homegrown

Modifying files inplace

1999-07-09 Thread Salz, Rich
Show me one single .h file that is modified in place. mkerr.pl It modifies .h files all over the place. I'd much rather see the header files renamed and then have some build targets that either copied the files (i.e., default errors) or invoked mkerrs (i.e., you've added new error codes)

mkerr.pl It modifies .h files all over the place. Yes, but that is not part of configuring OpenSSL. You don't use mkerr.pl when building OpenSSL, and if you add private new error codes, you are free to add them manually to the header files.
