hi,

i’d originally posted this @:

```
http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/4103

```

on review, it’s not clear 2 me if/how that project’s fixes get back into  
main trunk dev.

soooo, reposting here.

as of 23 Sep 06,

building, ruby 1.8.5 “out-of-the-box” on osx 10.4.7 w/ external instance  
of  
openssl  
0.9.8c,

though ‘make’ is successful, ‘make install’ dies (still?) @:

…  
install -c -p -m 0644 ruby.1 /usr/local/man/man1/ruby.1  
./miniruby ./ext/extmk.rb --dest-dir="" --make=“make” --mflags=""  
–make-flags="" --extout=".ext" --extension --extstatic – install  
cp -r ./.ext/. /usr/local/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8  
Generating RDoc documentation  
./miniruby ./runruby.rb --extout=.ext – “./bin/rdoc” --all --ri --op  
“/usr/local/ruby/share/ri/1.8/system” “.”  
dyld: NSLinkModule() error  
dyld: Symbol not found: \_ENGINE\_load\_aep  
Referenced from: /usr/ports/ruby-1.8.5/.ext/powerpc-darwin8.7.0  
/openssl.bundle  
Expected in: flat namespace

per earlier post, noting in:

```
/usr/ports/ruby-1.8.5/ext/openssl/ossl_engine.c

```

the current check (@ ~ line#64) for:

```
#ifndef OPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE

```

and, hence, adding to CPPFLAGS:

```
-DOPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE

```

and, after ‘make’, despite:

```
setenv LDFLAGS "-L/usr/local/lib -lreadline -L/usr/local/ssl/lib 

```

-lssl  
-lcrypto"  
setenv CPPGLAGS “-I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/ssl/include  
-DOPENSSL\_NO\_STATIC\_ENGINE”

this is still required to pick up external openssl:

```
/usr/ports/ruby-1.8.5/ext/openssl/Makefile
==========================================
@82
--- LIBS = $(LIBRUBYARG_SHARED) -lssl -lcrypto -lpthread -ldl

```

-lcrypt -lobjc  
+++ LIBS = $(LIBRUBYARG\_SHARED) -lpthread -ldl -lcrypt -lobjc  
-L/usr/local/ssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto  
==========================================

then, a subsequent:

```
% cd /usr/ports/ruby-1.8.5/ext/openssl
% make clean
% make
% cd /usr/ports/ruby-1.8.5
% rm -rf /usr/local/ruby
% make install

```

finishes successfully:

all, now, looks OK.
