Since I hadn’t really finished what I was working on last night, and it’s currently Northeastern’s Spring Break, I decided to keep going.

Round Two: Nginx

So, when compiling nginx, I was having an issue with the linking of RAND_pseudo_bytes@OPENSSL_1.0.0. After searching the internet, and figuring out the idea behind versioned symbols, I stumbled across a guy that added these versioned symbols to an older version of OpenSSL. For whatever reason, I needed to hand compiled OpenSSL with these symbols. So, I pulled down the PKGBUILD for Arch’s OpenSSL, and went to work patching it. The patch file is:

From what I can tell is, this takes all functions and versions them as OPENSSL_1.0.0, as well.

Seeing as how this is a very generic patch, I hope it will work for quite a bit.

Since this worked just fine, I installed the resulting package, and then running make for nginx ran smoothly.

Now what?

Now to try and figure out just went wrong with Ruby!
