Re: [Chicken-users] Building the openssl egg on MacOS

I maintain the openssl egg these days. Very nice, thanks for your efforts! Ugh. I've always had the impression macOS gets worse with each release, but this is ridiculous, almost as if they expect everyone to use XCode for development... I find that the usability gets better with each

[Chicken-users] Building the openssl egg on MacOS

On MacOS Mojave, "chicken-install openssl" fails because the OS doesn't ship any pkg-config definition file for its version of the openssl library. The pkg-config definition is supposed to be in a file called 'openssl.pc' but 'sudo find / -name openssl.pc 2>/dev/null' turns up no such file for
