Authors,
I have a problem with Crypt::SSLeay getting the path right to custom
include directories to pick up the OpenSSL libraries and headers.
On most free/libre Unix environments, one finds the includes rooted
under /usr or /usr/local at
.../include/openssl/*.h
On Windows, one finds both include/ and lib/ underneath openssl/
c:/openssl
c:/openssl/include
c:/openssl/lib
Solaris, or at least the sunfreetools site tends to do something
different (e.g.):
/opt/include
/opt/openssl
/opt/lib
That is, from the install directory, the lib and inc dirs are siblings.
I've refactored Makefile.PL heavily over the past year making things
work better, but I haven't been able to get this sorted out to arrive at
a situation where it works for everybody. I have a number of tickets in
the queue saying "Just do this, and then it will work me". Except that
it will stop working for everyone else.
An additional wrinkle is that Makefile.PL generates a .h file that is
included by XS, and the subdirectory paths have to be (or not) embedded
in the #include directives.
Someone must have dealt with this before. Perhaps not with OpenSSL, but
some other library where the include and lib directories are subdirs, or
siblings, or subdirectories hanging off the standard lib and inc
directories (for some definition of standard).
Can someone point me to a module that already does this, or point me to
a recipe that works in all cases?
Thanks,
David
