Description Alexander Stein 2013-07-16 10:44:35 UTC

The openssl check in openssh explicitly passes "-lcrypto" to the linker. The ebuild currently patches the configure script with this line:
> sed -i "s:-lcrypto:$(pkg-config --libs openssl):" configure{,.ac} || die
Problem here, is that the host pkg-config is called thus adding flags for host openssl.
For cross-compilation e.g.
> sed -i "s:-lcrypto:$(cross-pkg-config --libs openssl):" configure{,.ac} || die
can actually be used for a successful build.
Problem: this is only installed by crossdev.
I don't know if there is a way to detect and call the correct pkg-config. Ideas?

Reproducible: Always

this is already fixed in newer openssh
