#339: ExternalLibraries/OpenSSL does not compile in 64-bit mode on Mac OS ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ Reporter: hinder | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: Cactus | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: ExternalLibraries/OpenSSL ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
Comment (by hinder):
If you're going to do that, you may as well set OPENSSL_DIR = /usr. Is there a way to determine the shared-library extension? So then you could look for libssl.${SHLIBEXT} in the OpenSSL configure script.
As for detecting if you are on 64 bit, the test you are suggesting is a good idea, and could be part of the Cactus configure process. It could set variables CCTK_64BIT and CCTK_32BIT. I imagine we might need to know this for other things as well.
