Hello,
Trying to compile openssh-3.9p1 on Linux with OpenSSL 0.9.7f-dev, built
with shared libs.
Aha. Apparently, the configure script is somewhat broken in that it can't
seem to use openssl libs if they're not already known to ld. I got
configure to run by adding a LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/openssl/lib
./configure ... . Then, I had troubles installing since the ssh tools
didn't have the paths to the openssl libs saved, leading to 'can't find
this lib and that lib" type errors.
So...
I fudged around with LD_RUN_PATH=/path/to/openssl/lib make, which worked,
but I needed a simpler cross-platform option capable of fixing this in the
configure step.
My solution?
# Configure OpenSSH
conf_openssh()
{
echo "Configure OpenSSH"
cd ${BUILD}/${SD_OPENSSH}
${MAKE} distclean > /dev/null 2>&1
options="--prefix=${PFX_OPENSSH} \
--with-ssl-dir=${PFX_OPENSSL} \
--without-pam \
--without-zlib-version-check \
--without-privsep-user \
--without-privsep-path"
# HP-UX automagically includes the runtime link path into shared libs.
if [ "$1" != "hpux64" -a "$1" != "hpux" ]; then
options="$options --with-ldflags=\"-Wl,-rpath ${PFX_OPENSSL}/lib\""
fi
# For some reason, this configure won't expand the $options var if it
# has --with-ldflags appended, but it does with 'eval'B.
eval ./configure $options > ${LOG}/config_openssh.log 2>&1
}
I also kill the privsep stuff in servconf.c and touch the sshd_config file
to reflect that. Result.. a simple ssh implementation, that is able to
utilize openssl shared libs in non-standard locations, without the need
for LD_LIBRARY_PATH or /etc/ld.so.conf entries.
Cheers!
