Building 3.0p1 on HPUX 10.2, gcc, zlib 1.1.4

[Ghulam Rabani]

Darren (All),

Thanks for your response.

By providing the zlib PATH to the openssh configure script I managed to get
to the stage where the script complains that openssl is not installed (as
expected).

However, after downloading the openssl software, I found to my
disappointment, that I only have the standard HPUX C complier which is not
sufficient to compile the openssl software. Currently, I am in the process
of configuring and compiling the gcc v3.0 complier.

It never rains but pours.

Thanks for your help. I will keep you posted on my progress (or lack of).

Ghulam.

PS - If become a burden just yell out :)

Firstly, 3.0 has at least one known remotely exploitable security
vulnerability. You should probably get 3.4p1. (eg
ftp://ftp.ca.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/OpenSSH/portable/openssh-3.4p1.tar.gz)

My guess is that zlib is installed someplace where configure doesn't
automatically look. Try ./configure --with-zlib=/opt/zlib (or wherever
your package put the libz.a file).

Dunno, but you won't be able to build without openssl. You can get it
from a mirror (eg
ftp://ftp.ca.openbsd.org/pub/Mirror/Crypto/OpenSSL/openssl-0.9.6g.tar.gz).

Keven Steves has put up a how-to for building OpenSSH on HP-UX. It's at
