Re: [Bug-wget] pkg-config, openssl

[Michael Felt]

You had it correct - pkg-config was not installed. Got ./bootstrap to 
run (on linux)

Back to AIX - ran ./configure and it also complained that pkg-config was 
not installed. Due to dependancies on glib (glib-init.c) on the gcc 
constructor ability this is still at 0.25.0.0 - FYI.

Then it found no gnutls, solved - almost with:

./configure --with-ssl=openssl

but now configure stops with:

checking for compress in -lz... yes
checking for OPENSSL... no
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.

Yes, it says I can fix it with OPENSSL_CFLAGS and OPENSSL_LIBS - but 
couldnt it just try -lssl ?

Everything is in "default" locations:
address@hidden:[/data/prj/gnu/wget/wget]lslpp -w | grep ssl.h
  /usr/include/openssl/hmac.h                 openssl.base File
  /usr/include/openssl/kssl.h                 openssl.base File
  /usr/include/openssl/ssl.h                  openssl.base File

address@hidden:[/data/prj/gnu/wget/wget]lslpp -w | grep libssl.a
  /usr/lib/libssl.a                           openssl.base File

pkg-config is great in an envrionment that (has always) depends on it, 
but it is not the answer to everything.

Anyway, I shall look deeper into what else is new after my vacation - on 
hold for now.

Thanks for assistance!
