On OSX, there is no such thing as the program 'makedepend' (unless one installs XQuartz (X11 for mac), which shouldn't be required in order to build openssl).
But lets say the user does have XQuartz installed. I suspect the makedepend that's included in XQuartz is buggy. As of 1.0.1f, If I enable one of the flags that then requires calling 'make depend' after ./Configure, I get the following error immediately: making depend in crypto... makedepend: warning: cannot open "x86_64" makedepend: warning: cryptlib.c (reading ../include/openssl/bio.h, line 67): cannot find include file "stdarg.h" not in ./stdarg.h not in ../stdarg.h not in ../include/stdarg.h not in /usr/include/stdarg.h Then I see this: making depend in crypto/objects... ../../util/domd ../.. -MD makedepend -- -fPIC -fno-common -DOPENSSL_PIC -DZLIB -DOPENSSL_THREADS -D_REENTRANT -DDSO_DLFCN -DHAVE_DLFCN_H -arch x86_64 -O3 -DL_ENDIAN -Wall -DOPENSSL_IA32_SSE2 -DOPENSSL_BN_ASM_MONT -DOPENSSL_BN_ASM_MONT5 -DOPENSSL_BN_ASM_GF2m -DSHA1_ASM -DSHA256_ASM -DSHA512_ASM -DMD5_ASM -DAES_ASM -DVPAES_ASM -DBSAES_ASM -DWHIRLPOOL_ASM -DGHASH_ASM -I.. -I../.. -I../modes -I../asn1 -I../evp -I../../include -DOPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED -DOPENSSL_NO_GMP -DOPENSSL_NO_JPAKE -DOPENSSL_NO_MD2 -DOPENSSL_NO_RC5 -DOPENSSL_NO_RFC3779 -DOPENSSL_NO_SCTP -DOPENSSL_NO_STORE -- o_names.c obj_dat.c obj_lib.c obj_err.c obj_xref.c makedepend: warning: cannot open "x86_64" makedepend: warning: o_names.c (reading ../../include/openssl/bio.h, line 67): cannot find include file "stdarg.h" not in ../stdarg.h not in ../../stdarg.h not in ../modes/stdarg.h not in ../asn1/stdarg.h not in ../evp/stdarg.h not in ../../include/stdarg.h not in /usr/include/stdarg.h And things that look just like that happen over and over and over, until the 'make depend' stops. (A) Are these warnings important, or to be ignored? (B) The OSX package manager Homebrew gets around the lack of makedepend by creating a stub with the following contents: #!/bin/bash exec cc -M "$@" Can the openssl source dir please be amended to include such a stub, and to automatically use it on OSX? -Charles ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List openssl-dev@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
