Re: Trying to build HP-UX shared libraries

Actually, nothing of the sort is assumed.  What *is* assumed is that
for any platform where we've included support for shared libraries,
there's a target in Makefile.org that describes how to create them.
What exactly that target does is completely up to the implementor.

china> And, if such an option does not exist, what is the solution?

To extract all the files in libcrypto.a into a temporary directory and
ld -b them into a shared library.  The same goes for libssl.a.  I
personally prefer not to use that kind of solution, but there's that
if nothing else helps.
