Problem with 1.2.3pre4 and RSAref

Mar 17, 2000, 1:25 PM

Post #1 of 3 (545 views)

The following code snippet will not compile support for RSAref on NetBSD even
if it exists on the system (which breaks OpenSSL):

for WANTS_RSAREF in "" 1 ; do

if test -z "$WANTS_RSAREF" ; then
LIBS="$saved_LIBS -lcrypto"
else
LIBS="$saved_LIBS -lcrypto -lRSAglue -lrsaref"
fi
....

It appears that the code referenced in configure just before line 1950 works
correctly even without the RSAglue and rsaref libraries, but "in production"
work fails needing "_RSAPrivateDecrypt".

If someone wants to run a patch by me on this one, I'll be happy to
test it.

Thanks,
David

OK, I know it's not that tasteful to reply to your own post, but...

If the above line gets replaced with
for WANTS_RSAREF in 1 "" ; do
things seem to work. That said, I have to use rsaref, so I don't have
a system that can test the opposite assumptions.

Thanks

It looks like the test code is not complete enough.
