Pavel Machyniak added the comment: Unfortunately this patch will not work if there is other (system) openssl installed in the default locations (`/usr/include`, `/usr/lib`) because this patch only add another path at the end of the search list.
Instead of this I will make a ticket for providing configuration option for controlling the `openssl` (`--with-ssl=PATH`) and I will propose the solution (patch for current `configure` and `setup.py`). This way the user can explicitly provide the path for `openssl` and there is no need to search for one. I think it is important to fix this because there is a lot of people having problem compiling `python` with custom `openssl`, eg.: [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22409092/coredump-when-compiling-python-with-a-custom-openssl-version] ---------- nosy: +machyniak _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5575> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
