Howard Chu:

Patches should be relative to git master. There is no 2.4.45.

right, I wrongly named the git master 2.4.45 - my fault but in fact it's git master...

Don't use pkg-config. Not all systems support it.

I know only linux, sorry. Again: your right, support for openssl-1.1 don't require pkg-config.

But I personally need pkg-config because my openssl library is named libssl-dv / libcrypto-dv to coexist with the distribution versions. Viktor Dukhovni told me to build openssl-1.1 that way and beside the requirement for pkg-config I'm personally fine with that advise :-)

should I prepare the new patch to fit your needs? otherwise I would be fine if you modify the contribution to your needs.

Anyway: after I wrote the patch for git-master it was very easy to create a patch to compile also 2.4.44 with openssl-1.1 I could publish that also next week. Do you think that makes sense?

Thanks, Andreas
