./configure should check for crypto / OpenSSL availability in Erlant
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: COUCHDB-131
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-131
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Build System
Affects Versions: 0.9
Reporter: Jan Lehnardt
Priority: Minor
CouchDB relies on OpenSSL (through Erlang's crypto module) to generate UUIDs.
Erlang can be configured to not include crypto. CouchDB dies a horrible (read:
cryptic error message) death. ./configure could check for the availability of
crypto in the Erlang installation.
This could also be solved by bundling a standalone UUID generation library.
According to Damien, this is the mid-term solution.
