Re: [naviserver-devel] Problem Compiling in OpenBSD 6.6

[Gustaf N. <ne...@wu...>]

Well, i have made a local installation of OpenBSD 6.6 to get
a deeper understanding and made a few changes to NaviServer on bitbucket
to make it compile out of the box on this version.

A few comments:

- when compiled with LibreSSL, some functionality of NaviServer is 
deactivated,
    including e.g. OCSP from the forthcoming release. Some of the 
functionality
    might be possible with pure LibreSSL as well, but this would require 
a person
    with deep insight in the state, history and future of LibreSSL 
(maybe, it will
    be more compatible in the near future, so some effort for more support
    might be waste).

- OpenBSD (at least in version 6.6) provides packages for OpenSSL as 
well, i see e.g.:
       1: openssl-1.0.2t
       2: openssl-1.1.1d
   When one installs OpenSSL 1.1.1, then one can compile NaviServer
   (without the recent LibreSSL changes) out of the box

- install-ns [1] has recipes for building NaviServer (and OpenACS)
    on several operating systems, including OpenBSD. It might provide
    answers for potential compilation problems.

all the best
