Hi Man in a van - it turns out I just did this exact thing a few days ago on my mac, which is currently running Mojave. I assume it's the exact same process. Since I've been mooching off the expertise of others in this forum for years now maybe I can actually help!
Well first of all, the version to download is not stated (I'm guessing that it is 1.1.1) * I downloaded 1.1.1i from here: https://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.1.1i.tar.gz Do I just download to home or make a folder? * It downloaded a .tar.gz that I double clicked and it created a folder of the same name. I moved that folder into a temporary directory, but I don't think it matters - you could leave it in your Downloads folder. I downloaded and looked at the install notes and I'm not sure if I should have any tools or dependencies already installed (currently I have Brew, which I used for lame). * I do have brew on this computer but not for perl and I don't think it matters. All I had to do to install was to open a terminal and "cd" into the openssl folder and then run the four commands in the INSTALL file located in the openssl folder. Namely: $ ./config $ make $ make test $ make install * this created some new openssl magic in the same path that is referenced in the CPATH of Tony T's post * sidebar: I just learned that instead of having to type out the full path when "cd"-ing, you can type cd and then drag the folder from Finder into the terminal window and it auto-types the path for you. slick. It seems that I have to do a git-clone and build. * I didn't have to use git. I just downloaded open ssl from the link above (which is referenced here if you don't want to follow the direct link: https://www.openssl.org/source/ ) * At this point I just followed Tony's post verbatim which the exception of modifying the path since I do not have another perl on this machine, or at least I don't think I do. In any case, it worked without modifying the path for me. * One other note - when running the make commands (I think it was make install) it asks some questions about yes/no if you want to do certain tests. I just chose the default answers or yes if there wasn't a default and it completed successfully Regarding the setting of paths, from where in terminal are these commands issued ? * I don't think it matters since it is calling out full paths of everything. I never left the openssl directory when calling these commands I guess I don't have to bother about updating Perl ? * I didn't. I just followed the commands * After it was done installing I just rebooted and the IO:Socket::SSL was updated according to the LMS page. Hope this helps! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ the_arm's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9891 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113474 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
