[Bug-wget] pkg-config, openssl

[Michael Felt]

Hello Giuseppe,

Many thanks for your work and attention re: wget.

As you asked for "issues", I have one re: the hardness of wget relying 
on pkg-config with regard to openssl. I have openssl installed, and I 
even installed on older version of pkg-config to pass-by other tests. 
But for AIX - pkg-config is not ever going to be reliable.

Using ./configure --with-ssl=openssl I end with:

configure: error: Package requirements (openssl) were not met:

No package 'openssl' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables OPENSSL_CFLAGS
and OPENSSL_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
buildaix: ${CONFIGURE} ... returned an error

+ grep configure: config.log
+ tail
configure:37284: $? = 0
configure:37293: result: yes

configure:37403: $? = 1
configure:37417: result: no
configure:37433: error: Package requirements (openssl) were not met:
configure: exit 1

Fortunately, this seems to be working:
xlc is /usr/vacpp/bin/xlc
        ../src/wget-1.17.1/configure\
                --prefix=/opt \
                --sysconfdir=/var/wget/etc\
                --sharedstatedir=/var/wget/com\
                --localstatedir=/var/wget\
                --mandir=/usr/share/man\
                --infodir=/opt/share/info/wget --with-ssl=openssl 
--with-libssl-prefix=/usr

But it takes me three tries to get it right (first GNUTLS fails, :) )

So, nothing major, but pkg-config is not a guarantee for anything - and, 
imho, installing it only disturbs my "generic" platform (i.e., I 
reinstall AIX for each package to remove what becomes an unexpected 
dependency).

Later - make fails with:
(stderr only)
+ make > .buildaix/make.out

Unknown option: utf8
make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 1.

In closing - wget-1.16.3 I have packaged successfully - was requested to 
package wget-1.17.1 - but not working yet. Maybe there is an additional 
dependency that configure is not looking for (e.g., libiconv.so.X)

I do not expect you to know AIX and the AIX Toolbox - but I have none of 
the RPMs from AIX Toolbox installed as that requires supporting 2 
run-time environments in parallel (GNU and POSIX). I consider it too 
hard to do both well.
