OpenSSL and KDE 3.5 on FreeBSD

Submitted by borwick on Thu, 2006-02-23 20:09.

KDE's SSL connectivity has been broken for me for a while now. Apparently at some point KDE no longer was compatible with the "openssl" port. I run FreeBSD 5.2 but use the openssl port, so I just resort to using my laptop to get to SSL-wrapped connections. It's kind of annoying.

Well, I just got a new machine to replace my old desktop, so I'm building out FreeBSD 6.0 on it. This machine is using the built-in openssl rather than the port. And guess what? After spending two days compiling KDE 3.5, I found out that the built-in library is also
incompatible with KDE 3.5.

So, now I'm rebuilding the whole thing (portupgrade -fR kde) having added "WITH_OPENSSL_STABLE=yes" to /etc/make.conf and built openssl-stable.

One day RSN I'll switch to the binary ports. I will hate to un-learn cvsup and all the ports goodness that I know now, but then my desktop won't be out of commission for days when I 'portupgrade -ya' each month.
