[Nut-upsdev] Getting distcheck-light error on SSL

[Jim Klimov]

Hello,

  First of all, great to hear you plan to "do some driver work", that's
always welcome :)

  As for "neither ... found", you are probably missing development library
packages with headers and pkg-config info, e.g. `libssl-dev libnss3-dev`
(Debian-ish) or `openssl-devel nss-devel` (RedHat-ish).

  As
https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/wiki/Building-NUT-for-in%E2%80%90place-upgrades-or-non%E2%80%90disruptive-tests
page (could also help in your quest, if your starting point were packaged
NUT and so user accounts, some configs and permissions, etc. are already in
place) says,

> The
https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/blob/master/docs/config-prereqs.txt
document (also as a rendered page on NUT website
<https://networkupstools.org/docs/user-manual.chunked/_build_prerequisites_to_make_nut_from_scratch_on_various_operating_systems.html>)
details tools and dependencies that were added on NUT CI build
environments, which now cover many operating systems. This should provide a
decent starting point for the build on yours (PRs to update the document
are welcome!)

  That said, `make distcheck-light` aims to pass on systems without
everything plus a kitchen sink installed (primarily without documentation
tools though - they have a huge footprint, carrying in X11 and TeX to
render PDF), so maybe its definition in `/Makefile.am` misses a
`--with-ssl=auto` bit. Gotta revise that (or can be monkey-patched locally
in your system at least).

Hope this helps,
Jim Klimov
