build error on OSX ElC; OpenSSL

Hi,

Trying to build Bro on OSX (10.11), I get an error about not being able to find my OpenSSL. Any ideas?

Before attempting the config, I set the following env vars:
OPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/ssl/include
OPENSSL_LIBRARIES=/usr/local/ssl/lib
OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/ssl

~/git/bro$ ./configure --with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl

p.s. what’s recommended to search your mail archive - gmane?

Apple deprecated openssl.

Yes, but I built it. Turns out, I’ve got multiple versions lying around which might be giving me grief. Sigh.

~/git/bro$ /usr/local/ssl/bin/openssl

version

OpenSSL 1.0.2-beta2-dev xx XXX xxxx

quit

~/git/bro$ which openssl
/Users/heiland/anaconda3/bin/openssl
~/git/bro$ /Users/heiland/anaconda3/bin/openssl

version

OpenSSL 1.0.2g 1 Mar 2016

quit

~/git/bro$ /usr/bin/openssl

version

OpenSSL 0.9.8zh 14 Jan 2016

I’ll dig around…

Got this working and will just report for the archive. Not entirely sure what the problem/fix was, but I:

1) upgraded cmake (to 3.5.2; previous was 2.8.12)
2) upgraded openssl: OpenSSL 1.0.2g 1 Mar 2016
3) made sure I wasn’t using the Anaconda Python distro (which also included openssl); rather using system Python (2.7.10)
4) upgraded couple other libs after bro warnings - CAF and swig
4) config’d via:
~/git/bro$ ./configure --with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl

and seemed to finally build OK:
~$ bro --version
bro version 2.4-454
