libwww fails to build

[kurtjaeke@…]

libwww fails to build. This is due to a wrong path inclusion of the OpenSSL headers, if MacPorts' OpenSSL is installed. The fix would be to make libwww depend on MacPort's OpenSSL and to change -I/usr/include/openssl to -I/opt/local/include/openssl somewhere in the configuration phase.

Make output:

Patch to make libwww happy with MacPort's OpenSSL

[frew@…]

I just submitted a patch that fixes the problem described in the bug. I'm not sure what we want to do in terms of making this a dependency on MacPort's OpenSSL/degrading gracefully to the Apple OpenSSL. I also don't know if we should be submitting some subset of it back upstream - on the one hand, the way they're currently handling --with-ssl is pretty braindead, on the other, it probably works on most systems. I think this is most of the heavy lifting regardless.

Assign to maintainer.

[narf_tm@…]

I am not sure why I was assigned this bug. This port has no maintainer. I am assuming it may have been confused with the p5-libwww-perl I maintain. Anyways... I wish I could help but this is beyond me. Maybe someone more familiar with this could take it over.

libwww fails to build on Macports 1.6 too. Run it on 10.4.11 PPC. Error occurs during make, seems to be the one stated in initial post.
