Description

Current trunk fails to compile on Mac OS X with the following error in iksemel.

Iksemel 1.4 appears to comile, but current trunk depends on 1.3

Attempted to install OpenSSL with homebrew, set the LDFLAGS with the correct path, but had no luck.

/configure: line 12283: syntax error near unexpected token `openssl,'
./configure: line 12283: ` PKG_CHECK_MODULES(openssl, openssl,'
configure: error: ./configure.gnu failed for libs/iksemel

Issue Links

is duplicated by

Bug - A problem which impairs or prevents the functions of the product. FS-3668 ssl fail with syntax error near unexpected token openssl during configure on Mac

  • Minor - Minor loss of function, or other problem where easy workaround is present.
  • Closed - The issue is considered finished, the resolution is correct. Issues which are closed can be reopened.

Please install pkg-config and ./bootstrap.sh again.

To get past this issue, had to install pkg-config AND openssl with homebrew.

Build still failed, unless I used --without-openssl due to differences in the libs. x86_64 vs. something else it appears.

I had to also apply comments in bug

I had exactly the same error message (syntax error near unexpected token `openssl,' ) last week on Debian x86-64 Squeeze. I deleted everything (git clean -dfx) and made a fresh bootstrap, configure and it compiled cleanly. Are you using a fresh checkout ?

Yes. I use fresh checkouts, even after reinstalling my entire laptop.

The only eas I can get it work on OS X 10.7 is:

Install OpenSSL
Install pkg-config
Set the ACLOCAL_FLAGS, LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS
./bootstrap
.configure --without-openssl
Edit the Makefile.in as per bug FS-3547
make
make install.

I've confirmed these steps 3 separate time on clean installs of Mac OS X 10.7

I believe its due to changes in Lion related to OpenSSL.

On ubuntu I have pkg-config installed and still have to configure freeswitch without openssl for the library to get past the configuration stage.

On Debian 6.0 / Squeeze, the following solves this:

apt-get install pkg-config
cd fs_git_dir
./bootstrap.sh
./configure

On your way from there... confirms comment from Jeff Lenk is correct.

On version 1.4 of iksemel, they removed openssl from the build process... So I've just made a patch with removed openssl support. Got 1 user tried it and it look to be working for him.

Just git trunk of freeswitch today 1/9/2012. This problem also exists on Mac OS X 10.6.8 on Mac Mini with gcc 4.2.1. How do apply above patch to work around configure bombing? And do i have to do install of openssl and pkg-config and run .configure --without-openssl ?

Much thanks to Marc Oliver Chouinard, i have gotten past the configure issue described here. Again, i am on a mac mini with Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with gcc 4.2.1. Starting from scratch i did the following:

git clone git://git.freeswitch.org/freeswitch.git
cd freeswitch/
curl http://jira.freeswitch.org/secure/attachment/15372/iksemel-removal_of_openssl_info.diff | patch -p1 -b
./bootstrap.sh
./configure

Any thoughts when this fix will make it into the trunk?

Now onto make...

that fix will not be committed as it is only a temporary workaround for those of you that dont care if iksemel(libdingaling) builds without openssl(In other words wont work). GNUTLS is not needed anymore as that has been factored out of the dependency list by default but OpenSSL is needed for liblingaling to work properly.

There seems to be alot of confusion regarding this issue but unless someone can produce a patch or determine why this is happening for certain platforms for some people and not others - if you have the expertise and can reproduce this problem and provide a patch I'm sure that it will be accepted as long as it is compatible with all the other platforms that currently work without problem.

Jeff, not sure if you saw my previous comment, but official iksemel 1.4 package removed it completely. My patch is a backport of the new version of iksemel. It would be best to ask them why they removed it in the first place rather than trying to fix it I guess.

ok thanks I will look more carefully. If they removed it entirely then we would have to make modifications on our side to make this continue to work.

Moc I think maybe you have misunderstood what happened. I wrote the existing patch for iksemel to allow it to use OpenSSL and made it portable to Windows. Because of my lack of knowledge(with linux build automation) Tony did the Linux integration and testing and submitted those changes along with my original patch.

Ya you could have asked me on this one.
yes we want to use only openssl jeff's way. Its complicated.

GNUTLS has a bug in it that made it so we needed to use 2 threads cos reads would never timeout like they were supposed to.
its fixed in newer GNUTLS so I hear but that version is not possible to get on older distros without mega headaches.

Anyway, long story short we are only doing it with openssl.

A patch has been loaded into tree to work around this issue you will need to configure --with-openssl or fix locally the fact the Apple has decided to deprecate OpenSSL for Lion and going forward. moral of the story is if we want SSL/TLS to work properly on OSX Lion and later someone will have to either port this or sponsor a bounty to get the porting done.

Note: you may also want to install libjpeg and pkg-config from their respective sources (or other mechanisms)

packages I installed to test this

XCode and standard OSX Developer Tools from the App Store

libjpeg sources http://www.ijg.org/files/jpegsrc.v7.tar.gz (compiles and installs with no additional work just ./configure && make install)

pkg-config from source http://pkgconfig.freedesktop.org/releases/pkg-config-0.25.tar.gz again a simple ./configure && make install ... Please note there is a v 0.26 of pkg-config but there are additional requirements to get this installed on OSX Lion that I did not want to go through after reading their documentation

from there FreeSWITCH will build an install however you will not have OpenSSL Support which means a few features will be disabled like SIP/TLS, and the abillity of mod_dinagaling (xmpp support) to connect to gTalk as gTalk requires SSL/TLS for their jabber connections.

if you wish to sponsor this work, either post a bounty or contact consulting@freeswitch.org for more information

closing due to inactivity. Also there has been work to work around the deprecation warning as errors. keep in mind that in the next release of OSX this will probably pop up again

Update I am updating/replacing the OSX wiki I wrote in 2010 and will add the info below. There is not an issue in ML.

FS-3642 --without-openssl required on 10.7.5 Lion but not on 10.8.2 Mountain Lion or 10.6.8 Snow Leopard, since seems OK in ML not a big deal
