[pacman-dev] Unable to compile pacman in ubuntu-11.10

[Talespin Kit]

Finally managed to compile in ubuntu-11.10. 


Seems the problem was the Makefile generated by the configure script for the **libalpm**
does not add the  **libcrypto** as dependency in the LIBS variable.

Below is the steps.


I have used the git commit e6f72c61a098b52ea29e54b8eb4739a2ff81e6b0in

repo git://projects.archlinux.org/pacman.git

1) $ git clean -xfd; ./autogen.sh && ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var \

--enable-git-version --enable-debug --without-gpgme

2) cd lib/libalpm

3) In the Makefile replace line 


LIBS = -lssl -larchive -lm

with
LIBS = -lssl -larchive -lm -lcrypto


4) cd ../../ && make

------

Ok, so I just compiled this on a 10.04 install...

$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \
              --localstatedir=/var --enable-git-version \
              --enable-debug --without-gpgme

readelf shows the following linkages:
