[vbox-dev] Compile error on SnowLeopard (openssl version mismatch)

[Tom Birch]

Ah right, so it seems like at least on SnowLeopard, the matching for
openssl in the configure script is a bit broken - there's 1 digit of
precision missing from the version number, so it thinks that 0.9.7 is
good. After fixing that (patch below) I tried to build openssl with
macports, but it breaks because openssl doesn't like to use an SDK,
and VBox uses the 10.5 SDK, so there's link errors:

Undefined symbols:
  "_fopen$UNIX2003", referenced from:
      _BIO_new_file in libcrypto.a(bss_file.o)
      _file_ctrl in libcrypto.a(bss_file.o)
      _open_console in libcrypto.a(ui_openssl.o)
      _open_console in libcrypto.a(ui_openssl.o)

Does anybody build VBox on SnowLeopard? If so, how do you get around this?

Also, I hear VBox has support for the 64bit kernel in SnowLeopard, how
do you guys do that if you require the 10.5 SDK everywhere?

cheers,
Tom
