Hello,

does somebody has some experience with compiling pound 2.1.1 on OpenBSD 3.9?

A make fails because of the lack of openssl thread-support. On my old
platform (FreeBSD 6.1) I only have to install OpenSSL from the ports and
to give the directory as a configure-param. But on OpenBSD there is no
such port. Can you please tell me what to do next?

Regards,

Falk Brockerhoff

Hi Falk,

Not a problem, 1st download and extract the latest OpenSSL tarball in 
your /usr/src directory.

Do a standard install:

./config
make && make install

Don't worry the custom OpenBSD SSL libraries won't be touched as OpenBSD 
has them in 'non standard', from an OpenSSL perspective.

Now download and extract the latest Pound tarball.

Issue the following command to configure Pound:

./configure --with-ssl=/usr/local/ssl
make && make install

Thats it you should now have a working install of pound in /usr/local/sbin

Regards

Simon

On all my installs, I've used

./config threads

to include thread support. Is this not required?

Hi Dave,

Good question, I read the following excerpt from the INSTALL file and 
took it from the lack of errors that the config script recognized and 
configured thread support for OpenBSD

/Note on multi-threading
 -----------------------

 For some systems, the OpenSSL Configure script knows what compiler options
 are needed to generate a library that is suitable for multi-threaded
 applications.  On these systems, support for multi-threading is enabled
 by default; use the "no-threads" option to disable (this should never be
 necessary).

looking at the output from the configure scripts confirms things

/# ./config

/So in answer it looks like the 'threads' switch is not required for 
OpenBSD 3.9 and OpenSSL 0.9.8b.
