OpenSSL does.

In fact stunnel only searches *standard* directories used by various port systems.

This is an interesting observation. Now do you usually build OpenSSL on platforms that do not have it pre-packaged? - From the OpenSSL "INSTALL" file: # Quick Start # ----------- # # If you want to just get on with it, do: # # $ ./config # $ make # $ make test # $ make install # # [If any of these steps fails, see section Installation in Detail below.] # # This will build and install OpenSSL in the default location, which is (for # historical reasons) /usr/local/ssl. If you want to install it anywhere else, # run config like this: # # $ ./config --prefix=/usr/local --openssldir=/usr/local/openssl > interesting. i'm seeing this "-I=" usage the first time. do you > have a reference explaining it ? man gcc Mike -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iEYEARECAAYFAlRXrVcACgkQ/NU+nXTHMtEvWACffe0VgvUqzxqKn2RiRDPIhJS+ lPUAn1E/4el6GUyKMjM76Jx2SAjXjDlR =491t -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ stunnel-users mailing list [email protected] https://www.stunnel.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/stunnel-users
