#10 Segfaults on Ubuntu 18.04

[Cay Horstmann]

When you install weex on Ubuntu 18.04 or you build it, it segfaults in line 190 of ftpmain.c. The reason is that host_use_SSL has not been initialized in config.c because the build doesn't set USE_SSL. That's because it is looking for SSL_library_init in libssl, which fails. (nm can't find it either.)

If you change line 36 of configure.in to
AC_CHECK_LIB([ssl],[SSL_connect],
and run
autoconf configure.in > configure
then configure/make produces an executable that works correctly.

I also had to run autoreconf -vfi before running make. Otherwise I got an error about missing depcomp. And I had to copy config.guess from somewhere (e.g. /usr/share/automake-1.15/ on my system).
