openssl 1.0.0a: universal build fails on Tiger PowerPC

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

openssl 0.9.8o could build universal on Tiger, but 1.0.0a says:

This should be a simple matter of adding "-lz" to the LDFLAGS.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Actually it looks like the Configure script is meant to be adding "-lz" for us, if we request "zlib-dynamic". We're currently requesting "zlib", which is apparently something else but ends up using zlib.dylib anyway. Let me see if simply switching that works everywhere.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I got it backwards: the Configure script adds "-lz" unless we use "zlib-dynamic". So "-lz" is there, so this is not the problem. At this point I don't know how to solve this.

Also, the problem occurs only when using an SDK, which is only on Tiger PowerPC when building universal.

[ned-deily (Ned Deily)]

Me too.

[neverpanic (Clemens Lang)]

Is this still relevant? Is anybody still building universal OpenSSL on a Tiger PowerPC against a 10.4 SDK?

If so and you are able to debug this, please provide a patch. I cannot support this platform and am going to close this ticket as worksforme.
