My ENGINE is working now. While developing, I simply linked our support library in statically. I'm making changes to get it ready to release now. I converted it to programmatically link to a .so library at run-time, using the DSO routines, as the other hw_xxxx modules do. It blew up with a NULL pointer fault. I was surprised to discover the reason - apparently, Configure assumes that FreeBSD and FreeBSD-elf don't have any support for dynamic shared libraries! The FreeBSD entries in Configure's $table don't appear to have any mention of DSO support. I couldn't see any reason why FreeBSD apps couldn't use DLFCN-style DSO, so I did a few temporary hacks to build in DLFCN support, such as -DDSO_DLFCN in CFLAGS. And it worked. Has DSO support been used/tested by anyone on FreeBSD? Is there some option I missed when I ran Configure (I only noticed 'no-dso')? Did I miss some other obvious step? Please don't tell me I have to hack Configure - I love Perl, but whoa, Configure is some seriously fuggly Perl... :-) Tom Biggs ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
