[This patch is being cc'ed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] It makes no changes or
additions to any crytographic routines, it only changes the build procedure
for OpenSSL.]
[I'm not on the OpenSSL mailing list, please cc me on any responses.]
While building openssl-0.9.6b on usparc-solaris 2.7 and 2.8, the build
mysteriously hung during the
gmake report
step. I did some investigation, and found out why.
Because `config' detected that it was possible to build a 64 bit version
of OpenSSL, it will stop and wait for user input from /dev/tty. When
the `report' make target is built, it runs
perl util/selftest.pl
which tries to stuff the output from `config -t` into a perl variable.
This hangs without any prompting at all, because config is waiting for
a response on /dev/tty.
This situation affects 64-bit capable Solaris and 64-bit capable IRIX.
My patch offers one fix -- don't be interactive if `TEST' is set. That's
probably not the best solution. I think it would be better to just not
be interactive at all. Have config spit out a big, bold message about
the option to go 64 bit, then wait 10-30 seconds. If they haven't hit
ctrl-c by that point, continue marching. That's a nicer solution for
other reasons (building via RPM or some other packaging mechanism, which
I also happen to be doing here).
