Hi,

I'm kind of stuck with this autoconf problem now.

I can see macro OPENSSL_LIBS is supposed to be bound to "-lssl -lcrypto" in the following code snippet (from configure.ac):
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   AS_IF([test "x${OPENSSL_CFLAGS}${OPENSSL_LIBS}" != "x"],
      [AC_MSG_CHECKING([supplied paths for OpenSSL])]
      [JTR_LIST_ADD(CFLAGS, [$OPENSSL_CFLAGS])]
      [AC_MSG_RESULT([$OPENSSL_CFLAGS $OPENSSL_LIBS])],
      [test "x$cross_compiling" = xno],
      [JTR_SET_NORMAL_SSL_INCLUDES([/usr/local/ssl])]
      [AC_CHECK_HEADER([openssl/opensslv.h],
	 [AC_CHECK_LIB([ssl],[SSL_library_init],
	    [AC_CHECK_LIB([crypto],[MD5_Update],
	       [AC_DEFINE(HAVE_LIBSSL,1,[Define to 1 if you have the `ssl' library (-lssl).])]
	       [AC_DEFINE(HAVE_LIBCRYPTO,1,[Define to 1 if you have the `crypto' library (-lcrypto).])]
		  [OPENSSL_LIBS="-lssl -lcrypto"],
	       [AC_MSG_FAILURE(JtR requires libssl/libcrypto being installed,1)])],
	    [AC_MSG_FAILURE(JtR requires libssl being installed,1)]
	 )],
	 [AC_MSG_FAILURE(JtR requires OpenSSL headers being installed,1)]
      )]
   )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But it's strange that the binding won't happen when I configure for MIC. The configure command used is:
$ ./configure CC=icc CFLAGS="-mmic -I$MIC/include" LDFLAGS="-mmic -L$MIC/lib" --host=mic-linux

Could anyone briefly explain to me what this code is doing? I want to figure out what's going wrong here.


Thanks,
Lei
