Hello,
I'm trying to rebuild redhat openssl rpm with eliptic curve support enabled. What I did is just edit the spec file and modify the configure parameters from no-ec to enable-ec. Not surprisingly the package does not build with this enabled: http://pastie.org/2334009 This appears to be deliberate due to shitware patents.
Anyone knows how to "fix" this?
Thanks

redhat openssl contains nice hobble-openssl script that removes part of patented sources from package, before compiling it..

But, still the source it not compiling after removing hobble-openssl script. maybe red hat also removed some definitions from evp.h ?

I can confirm that the build still fails even after nuking the hobble script. When I get some time I will try to have a look at the patches and try building without some of them and see if that helps.
I don't see a reason for Redhat to intentionally make it hard for us to recompile with "patented" stuff on so it's got to be something else.

you can try to download and recompile this version of openssl : http://codewiz.org/pub/fedora/source/openssl-1.0.0d-2.bernie1.fc16.src.rpm
warning: if it breaks your system, you can keep both pieces ;)
