Re: mod_ssl and pkg-config on AIX (Re: [Vote] httpd 2.2.23 release)
Hi. Thanks for the answer. AIX does not have pkg-config standard. There is a version you can download from IBM (AIX Toolbox) in RPM format, but those tend to be old. I hear the main reason for not updating quickly is bedded in legal concerns. fyi - pkg-config new version is not a simple build. Has a dependency on a library and the embedded version does not compile with the IBM compiler. Feels like there is a dependency on gcc. I have not had the time to build a load a new sandbox to test that. Maybe this week.

The simple part first. AIX has a default install of openssl.
-- however, the name of the library is libssl.a - see attachment for a
filelist of what is included in openssl.base
running the pkg-config command by hand (not the newest version (0.25), so I
will try updating that asap it gives the same error. I could not find a
pkg-config command to tell me it's default search path - maybe it is not
looking in /usr/include/openssh.

Package openssl was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `openssl.pc'

No package 'openssl' found
Does AIX come with a bundled version of OpenSSL (under /usr or similar)?
How does the configure output look like after the checking whether to

With 2.2.x, configure will try pkg-config for figuring out the -l, -I and
-L flags - and fall back to -lssl -lcrypto if pkg-config fails for some
reason:
if test $ap_ssltk_type = openssl; then
if test x$ap_ssltk_base != x -a \
-f ${ap_ssltk_base}/lib/pkgconfig/openssl.pc; then
dnl Ensure that the given path is used by pkg-config too, otherwise
dnl the system openssl.pc might be picked up instead.
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=${ap_ssltk_base}/lib/pkgconfig${PKG_CONFIG_PATH+:}${PKG_CONFIG_PATH}
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH

However, the packaging proceeds fine.
It's kind of expected behavior, yes. Replacing
ap_ssltk_libs=`$PKGCONFIG --libs-only-l openssl`
by
ap_ssltk_libs=`$PKGCONFIG --libs-only-l openssl 2/dev/null`
would suppress the (perhaps confusing) message.
