Thread: crypto library is not installed

Hi,

when compiling pgAdmin3 I ran into the same problem as others before:
openssl-devel is not installed.


./configure --prefix=/home/ads/tmp-pgadmin3 --with-pgsql=/usr/pgsql-9.3/

make[3]: Entering directory `/home/ads/pgadmin3/xtra/png2c'
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../.. -I../../pgadmin/include/libssh2

-MF .deps/png2c.Tpo -c -o png2c.o png2c.c
mv -f .deps/png2c.Tpo .deps/png2c.Po

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lcrypto
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]: *** [png2c] Error 1


Yes, I know how to fix this. My question is: why is "configure" not
checking for this library, when it is required to build pgAdmin3?



Thanks,

Noone wrote the code I guess. Patches welcome :-)

Just checking the code: why is it even requiring "crypto" when compiling
without --with-openssl?

That's actually the likely reason why we don't do that test. It seems
to be required because we're linking with libpq which is linked with
OpenSSL, apps linking to it (on some platforms) also need to link with
libcypto. It may also be that an element of bitrot has crept into that
configure option - I very much doubt anyone has tested without SSL
support in a long time.

Given what you said, attached is a patch which requires "openssl/ssl.h"
to be available. If not, configure bails out with an error message.

Any feedback regarding this patch?

Not from me at least (yet). I've been up to my eyeballs all week at work.

I took a quick look at this (and then passed the buck to Ashesh for
additional review and commit :-p ) - I think it's fine except that the
test needs to be inside the OpenSSL block above. See attached.

Not sure you want to move this into this check: as you pointed out,
libpq is pulling in SSL anyway, therefore this check should be
standalone. The optional --with-openssl should be removed instead,
because it's no longer optional.

Libpq doesn't *always* pull in OpenSSL.
