I'm trying to build sipX (http://www.sipfoundry.org/sipX) under FreeBSD. Things are going smoothly, albeit slowly, for the most part, though I have just run into one problem related to the www/libwww port. One of the sipX components wants to link againt libwwwssl.so. I believe libwwwssl should come from the www/libwww port, but the port does not enable this by default. Nor does there appear to be a configuration knob that will enable it. I haven't been able to find an alternate port that builds libwwwssl either (though maybe I didn't look hard enough). I can enable it myself by adding --with-ssl to CONFIGURE_ARGS, but I'm wondering if that is a good thing to do. Is www/libwww built without SSL support for a reason (security, buggy, etc.), or is it just an oversight? If it is an oversight, should --with-ssl become part of the default configure args for www/libwww? Or at least have a knob added to the Makefile? Also, if anyone is interested in making a port out of sipX, I would be glad to share my notes and patches. I'm just building it to test some SIP stuff and I'm not willing to commit to supporting the port myself, but I would be glad to assist anyone who is. Thanks, mike
