libntech's Issues

Failed to configure without libxml2

Using cfengine 3.18.3 LTS source, libntech failed to configure without libxml2.
This is a regression since 3.18.2 configure without problem.

Fails to build from source with OpenSSL 3.0

I'm trying to build a cfengine binary on an OpenSSL 3.0-enabled Linux distribution (Ubuntu 22.04).

libntech from cfengine-3.19.0 tarball fails to build with:

In file included from hash.c:33:
./hash.h:64:28: error: unknown type name ‘RSA’
   64 | Hash *HashNewFromKey(const RSA *rsa, HashMethod method);

The types and functions mentioned are marked as deprecated in openssl 3.0, but still available if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is not defined. A simple patch removing the declaration from configure.ac works around the issue, but I assume libntech and cfengine would rather want a proper solution to the problem.

Many thanks,

I'm mr lonely

Where is @cfbottom?
