I am just starting out with BLFS, but have built LFS many times over the years (for learning). I see that MIT Kerberos is an optional dependency for OpenSSL. My build plan is as follows:

which-2.21

valgrind-3.11.0

tcl-8.6.6

expect-5.45

dejagnu-1.6

libffi-3.2.1

keyutils-1.5.9

openssl-1.0.2h

python-2.7.12     (openssl is opt dep)

cracklib-2.9.6

linux-pam-1.3.0

shadow-4.2.1

libcap-2.25

libevent-2.0.22

ntp-4.2.8p8

mit kerberos v5-1.14.3   (python-2.7.12 is opt dep)

I have found instructions on the MIT Kerberos website to build with support for OpenSSL. My question is: After building MIT Kerberos and installing it, should I go back and re-build OpenSSL to take advantage of OpenSSL's optional dependency on MIT Kerberos? And possibly the other things that needed OpenSSL (like Python)?


Also, how would I be able to determine the answer to this type of question on my own? I figure there will be more times where package-foo has optional dependency on package-bar and at the same time package-bar has optional dependency on package-foo.


Regards,

Seth
