Why these two lines don't let OSX install vanitygen?

[rdymac]

I couldn't install the on OSX using ' make ', so @Habbie told me to remove these two lines in ' util.c ' file and then I could finally install vanytigen.

line 353: #if OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER < 0x10000000L

line: 462: #endif /* OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER < 0x10000000L */

OSX uses an older version of openssl libraries out of the box.

[colin@kid vanitygen]$ openssl version
OpenSSL 0.9.8r 8 Feb 2011

The code between those two lines is necessary to provide a function that is present only in OpenSSL 1.0.0 and newer.

What version of OSX are you on? Can you post the output of make?

[rdymac]

OSX 10.8.2

[colindean]

If you can, please post the output of make. I'm running 10.8.3 and it's working (building and running), but just throwing a lot of compilation warnings. I don't think there was a change to OpenSSL between 10.8.2 and 10.8.3.

[rdymac]

I'll do, ASAP. Has no internet connection now (except mobile).

[ELLIOTTCABLE]

Try this:

brew install openssl

Then,

patch <<EOF
diff --git i/Makefile w/Makefile

(Assumes you have Homebrew for Mac installed. You should. Google it.)

[colindean]

One recommendation, @ELLIOTTCABLE: It's not a very good idea to hardcode the openssl path for Homebrew, because it changes when new versions come out.

Instead, stick $(shell brew --prefix openssl) in a variable and reference that. I've run into this problem a few times, primarily creating a steady stream of "those paths are out of date" messages.

@colindean: I deleted the makefile and all immediately after doing this; I simply used it to build vanitygen, and then got rid of all the sources. That said, your comment is very valuable. Why not submit a vanitygen formula to WyseNynja/homebrew-bitcoin?

[colindean]

Maybe I should! :-)

Boom.

BlinkyStitt/homebrew-bitcoin#2

[colindean]

See also #25.

[rdymac]

Have just done:
$ make

With the latest vanitigen git and got lots of warning, but installed without problem. When running it shows:
WARNING: Built with OpenSSL 0.9.8r 8 Feb 2011
WARNING: Use OpenSSL 1.0.0d+ for best performance

Homebew latest OpenSSL is openssl-1.0.1e

[colindean]

@rdymac try my branch in #25 or use WyseNinja/homebrew-bitcoin keg to install with the correct version of OpenSSL.
