New submission from Yiyang Zhan <pon.z...@gmail.com>:
The instructions in "Custom OpenSSL" section of "Using Python on Unix platforms" do not work on CentOS 7: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/v3.10.0rc2/Doc/using/unix.rst#custom-openssl. CPython's ./configure script assumes the OpenSSL's library resides in "$ssldir/lib". This isn't guaranteed with the current instruction, because OpenSSL might create for example lib64 for the .so files. See https://github.com/openssl/openssl/blob/openssl-3.0.0/INSTALL.md#libdir: > Some build targets have a multilib postfix set in the build configuration. > For these targets the default libdir is lib<multilib-postfix>. Please use > --libdir=lib to override the libdir if adding the postfix is undesirable. Therefore it's better to explicitly set --libdir=lib. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 402657 nosy: docs@python, zhanpon priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Some instructions in the "Using Python on Unix platforms" document do no work on CentOS 7 type: enhancement versions: Python 3.10 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue45291> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
