Hi Folks,
after quite some time I started using OpenPKG on IRIX again. And I have
to say you did a good job! The bootstrap was working out of the box :-)
But during my journey to a local 2.5 environment I chose to compile
openssl with the "with_zlib yes" option. This was a recipe for disaster,
as I found out later: Most -- if not any packages -- relying on OpenSSL
are not prepared to link with libz.a while using libssl.a (e.g.
sendmail, curl, imap) and therefore fail to build. I suggest to postpone
this option until the dependencies are addressed. Otherwise you invite
people the end in trouble, like I did.
Cheers,
J"org
