I was trying to compile cyrus-sasl on solaris 8 using gcc 3.4.6 and having a bitch of a time getting it to configure right. It was not finding the openssl that I had installed locally into a custom directory. Also, I was getting lots of "digestmd5.c:XXX: error:" statements during the failed make.

Here is what was happening during the configure. Note its not finding openssl even though I specified --with-openssl=/path/to/openssl on my configure statement:

checking openssl/evp.h usability... yes
checking openssl/evp.h presence... yes
checking for openssl/evp.h... yes
checking for EVP_DigestInit in -lcrypto... no
checking for OpenSSL... no
checking DIGEST-MD5... enabled
configure: WARNING: OpenSSL not found -- OTP will be disabled
checking OTP... disabled
configure: WARNING: OpenSSL not found -- SRP will be disabled
checking SRP... disabled
checking KERBEROS_V4... disabled
checking for crypt... yes

Next, during the make, I was seeing these errors:

After lots of searching, I finally found this post that led me to the answer. What ended up working was issuing the following commands before the configure statement.

export LDFLAGS="-lsocket -L/local/progs/lib -R/local/progs/lib"
export CFLAGS="-lsocket -I/local/progs/include:/local/progs/include/openssl:/local/progs/usr/local/include"

after that, the configure runs fine:

checking for RSAPublicEncrypt in -lrsaref... no
checking openssl/evp.h usability... yes
checking openssl/evp.h presence... yes
checking for openssl/evp.h... yes
checking for EVP_DigestInit in -lcrypto... yes
checking for OpenSSL... yes
checking for des_cbc_encrypt in -lcrypto... no
checking for DES_cbc_encrypt in -lcrypto... yes
checking openssl/des.h usability... yes
checking openssl/des.h presence... yes
checking for openssl/des.h... yes
checking DIGEST-MD5... enabled
checking OTP... enabled
checking for opiechallenge in -lopie... no
checking for OPIE... no
checking SRP... disabled
checking KERBEROS_V4... disabled
checking for crypt... yes

and the make runs fine.
