build log

libesmtp fails to build with openssl 1.1. This seems to be only an issue with the configure script:

checking for SSL_library_init in -lssl... no
configure: error: cannot find the ssl library

Linux from Scratch has a oneliner/sed-patch to fix this:
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/general/libesmtp.html

sed 's@SSL_library_init@SSL_new@g' -i configure.ac &&
autoreconf -fi

I think we can add something like that to the ebuild and should be fine.

libesmtp-1.0.6-openssl-1.1-api-compatibility.patch

The build still fails (at least on my box) since the code uses locking APIs which have been nuked without compatibility macros in OpenSSL 1.1.0.

Attached is a patch to fix these.

Anyone know who's the upstream for libESMTP now? http://www.stafford.uklinux.net/libesmtp/ seems dead. :-/

Comment 2 Quentin Minster 2018-02-01 01:23:40 UTC

It seems the failure I experienced is due to USE flag 'threads'.

I cannot reproduce this issue. Note that I'm using node 9.11.2 (7.x is no longer in Gentoo).

USE="openssl" emerge =net-libs/nodejs-9.11.2

Succeeds. I'm using dev-libs/openssl-1.1.1

I'm confident that this issue was solved by https://bugs.gentoo.org/592438#c5
