Has anyone had any luck building openssl 1.1.0. I tried to modify the slackbuild from current, but things are too different from 1.0.2.

Need this because of a pci compliance scan.

I really don't mess with ?.SlackBuild files but I was curious, did two changes to line 85 in RED

it built didn't install it.

there were two files to install I guess:
/tmp/openssl-1.1.0-x86_64-1.txz
/tmp/openssl-solibs-1.1.0-x86_64-1.txz

Thanks glorsplitz,

I had done that, via ssh on a virtual 14.2 box. building the package the slackbuild installed libcrypto to /usr/lib64 instead of the tmp/pkg directory. This killed mc and ssh. I had a heck of a time recovering my virtual machine.

Did you not get that file in /usr/lib64?

Yes, I messed things up too, ssh, mc. Maybe best to leave to experts. My current vm is back to normal.

Let us know if you ever get anywhere.

If you want to pursue this further, you can start at https://repology.org/metapackage/openssl/versions and look in the distros' build repositories (to the extent you can find them) to see what changes they applied versus 1.0.2l (to the extent you can understand them).

However, the likely conclusion is that you need to rebuild whatever applications you need that link to openssl, for the reasons mentioned in Patrick's SlackBuild. (You need to ponder the comment above the unconvincing change you tried -- the ABI very likely *has* changed. Just remove Patrick's fixup.) But many of those applications will need version bumps or patches to build (see e.g. Gentoo's note).

I did get this to build. In the end I removed the line that sets the version number because everything is broken. openssh libssh2, bind, httpd, sendmail, use your imagination.

I changed the config a little, I suppose it could be right.

./config \
--prefix=/usr \
--openssldir=/etc/ssl \
zlib \
enable-camellia \
enable-seed \
enable-rfc3779 \
enable-cms \
enable-md2 \
enable-ssl3 \
enable-ssl3-method \
no-mdc2 \
no-idea \
no-rc5 \
no-sse2 \
no-weak-ssl-ciphers \
shared

The only other thing I changed was the make install line, it now is:

make install DESTDIR=$PKG1 || exit 1

openssh needs to be patched to work, I found a long patch on the arch linux site that worked.

Everything else is recompiling OK so far as long as I use the versions in current.
I'm running 14.2, but a lot of those won't accept the new openssl where the current versions do.

I'm Having Fun
