Title: openssl-0.9.8k.tcz Description: The Open Source toolkit for SSL/TLS Version: 0.9.8k Author: OpenSSL Project Original-site: http://www.openssl.org/ Copying-policy: OpenSSL License: http://www.openssl.org/source/license.html Size: 900K Extension_by: Jason W Comments: This extension is PPI compatible. This extension can be installed alongside other versions of openssl as it is installed into a dedicated directory. To use this as openssl, either use the command: $ /usr/local/openssl-0.9.8k/bin/openssl or add /usr/local/openssl-0.9.8k/bin to the front of your $PATH. The certs directory is /usr/local/openssl-0.9.8k/etc/ssl/certs. To build extensions against this one, you may need to use a configure switch like --with-ssl=/usr/local/openssl-0.9.8k. Or adding /usr/local/openssl-0.9.8k/lib/pkgconfig to your pkgconfig path. If you use this extension to build apps against, you will need to use a wrapper for the executables in that extension to find the right ssl libs. Here is an example wrapper script for links. Just rename /usr/local/bin/links to /usr/local/bin/links-bin and call the wrapper /usr/local/bin/links: ---------- #!/bin/sh export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/openssl-0.9.8k/lib /usr/local/bin/links-bin "$@" --------- That will use the libs in /usr/local/openssl-0.9.8k/lib in priority over those in the system for that app. Change-log: 2008/07/30 First version 2008/12/03 Rebuilt for i486 and size. Current: 2009/09/09 Updated to 0.9.8k.
