Some non-Linux systems, most notably FreeBSD and the other *BSDs, have OpenSSL as part of the base OS. FreeBSD, at least, does not have a pkg-config
.pc
file, because it's not actually a package. (All the *BSDs also have various OpenSSL versions and its forks available in packages as well. But using them can cause various kinds of pain dealing with multiple versions, and it's better to avoid them if they're not needed.)There was a check using
AX_CHECK_LIBRARY()
that got lost in commit bacc024. This brings it back, and also removes extended GNU Make syntax that I accidentally put insrc/include/Makefile.ac
that OpenBSDmake
refused to put up with.
