#25686: Add crypto variants to openssl & use system zlib ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Reporter: michaelld@… | Owner: mww@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.9.1 Keywords: | Port: openssl ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Comment(by michaelld@…): I've now tried out all of the 'zlib' variants, and I think leaving that flag alone is best -- though I don't find harm in changing it. Everything seems to work just fine either way, but with the zlib-dynamic none of the libraries or executables seem to require zlib at all -- but they all seem to work. With just 'zlib' I see the dependency as expected, so I'm not sure what's going on there. Leaving it alone is probably best. The "make depend" is required if any of the defaults are changed. Or, rather, when running 'configure' if I change from the defaults then a line is printed out at the end to that effect & I believe it. It's a pretty simple thing to do either way. I would guess that compiling works anyway, but doing this command before building helps speed compiling up a bit. As for the variants, I'm open to suggestions as to what should or not be included; there are other cypers/extensions that I didn't add since I -really- had no idea what they were (I've at least heard of those I added). As I was reading through the configure script (itself, and it's help), I saw these as options that weren't being implemented & thought "why not?" ... hence a quick change to the Portfile to see if they work, and they do. So, why not include them in some capacity & let the user decide. As to the variant descriptions, yes, they could be better. Please feel free to change them; or, I can make a quick change here & replace the current patchfile. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/25686#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
