Unable to build from source using manual ssl-libs in /usr/local/ssl

[Former user]

I need to recompile monit on older system. There is a manual installation of openssl in /usr/local/ssl. This has been refreshed to openssl-1.0.2s recently to make shure the monit compile error has nothing to do with wrong version.

my compile procedure (I'm using the following as bash-script):

_ssl=/usr/local/ssl

./configure \
  --enable-optimized \
  --with-ssl-static=DIR=${_ssl} \
  --with-ssl-dir=${_ssl} \
  --with-ssl-lib-dir=${_ssl}/lib \
  --with-ssl-incl-dir=${_ssl}/include \
  && \
make

Doesn't make any difference which of the latest release I try. I was trying from git release-tag 5.7 to 5.9 with no success always failing:

make failure:

[Tildeslash]

the following configure should be sufficient:

‌ ./configure --with-ssl-dir=/usr/local/ssl

@Tildeslash --with-ssl-dir works only with the OS default SSL headers.

On Centos 5.11 I have to compile monit 5.26: I build openssl-1.0.2r and to succesfully build monit I use

echo “don’t use old SSL headers (openssl 0.9.8)”

yum erase openssl-devel

export LDFLAGS="-Wl,-rpath=/usr/local/ssl/lib"

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/ssl/lib/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"

./configure --with-ssl-dir=/usr/local/ssl
