openssh unix dev - Aug 2001 - configure bug

This was dicovered in openssh-2.9p2 on BSDi 4.1.  If you configure
--with-ssl-dir and give a relative path (like ../openssl-0.9.6b), it will
not compile because that path is no longer valid once it cds to
openbsd-compat.  In the CPPFLAGS variable in openbsd-compat/Makefile, you
can put in another ../ (-I../openssl-0.9.6a/include becomes
-I../../openssl-0.9.6a/include) and it works.

Perhaps there should be some warning about configuring with a relative
path, or perhaps configure can convert to an absolute path, or even
better, make sure the relative path in openbsd-compat/Makefile is still
valid.

Hi,

Something is wrong with the mailing list.  I just received 5 copies
of this e-mail, and the only difference is the Received: line on my
machine here.  This means, mindrot.org sent it 5 times to me, so it's
something there (or in between).  Damien, could you please check?

A "diff -u5" of two of those e-mails is appended.
