From ld(1):
--whole-archive
For each archive mentioned on the command line af-
ter the --whole-archive option, include every ob-
ject file in the archive in the link, rather than
searching the archive for the required object
files. This is normally used to turn an archive
file into a shared library, forcing every object to
be included in the resulting shared library.
The freebsd-shared target in ${WORKDIR}/Makefile.org builds an ar archive
with shared objects in it. --whole-archive is used to "convert" the
ar archive into a shared library.
OpenSSL doesn't really support building of shared libraries, yet.
So this is just a hack.
So what to do?
- You can use a "private" solution by applying the attached patch to
openssl in order to pull out building of shared libraries.
- You can come up with a real solution for 2.x, 3.x and 4.x.
At the moment I don't have the time to care about it and 2.x isn't
officially supported by ports-current anyway.
Regards Dirk
