Bug 271415 – dev-libs/openssl could just link directly to zlib

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2009-05-27 14:47:06 UTC]

Right now the zlib USE flag enables zlib-dynamic rather than just zlib; which means that about all the OpenSSL-using processes gets to use dlopen() to load libz.so. Pretty much a waste of time given how present libz is in the system already. Would be nice to actually just link to it. Would also reduce the amount of data that valgrind spews out when memchecking something that uses SSL.

it wasnt done that way on purpose (from the ebuild perspective).  forcing linking against zlib is fine.

In 0.9.8k-r1 .. feel free to blame me if something breaks.

Not sure whether it's related to this or to openssl not providing .la file (anymore?), but now it's not possible to emerge wget with USE="static" despite libssl.a is present. This may be related to bug 246556 (I don't use kerberos though)

Please report such bugs distinctly; the problem is likely that wget's configure checks for ssl without using pkg-config as it should.
