I may be wrong, but from a base LFS, if it is possible to download and install wget, then it is possible to do the same with openssl (or gnutls), and we are back to Bruce's argument. However, to accommodate to everybody, I would propose: --with-ssl=openssl|gnutls|no: First option allows the program to work with OpenSSL-1.0.1h, second with GnuTLS-3.3.6 or third with no HTTPS protocol. -- []s, Fernando -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
