New submission from Christian Heimes <li...@cheimes.de>: Starting with #31399 Python will require some OpenSSL 1.0.2 features. The features are not available in LibreSSL yet. There is no easy way to detect the feature from setup.py. The inc_dir variable in setup.py does not reflect CPPFLAG. I tried "self.compiler.preprocess()" but run into more issues. For example prints to stderr in error cases.
https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf-archive/ax_check_openssl.html makes it easy to check for working OpenSSL. It uses either pkg-config or falls back to manual detection in common locations. Based on the M4 macro it is easy to check for features like working X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set1_host() function. ---------- components: Extension Modules, Installation messages: 310277 nosy: christian.heimes priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Use autoconf to detect OpenSSL and libssl features type: behavior versions: Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue32598> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
