serf build log

Apple has removed the system headers for OpenSSL in OS X El Capitan, it is thus impossible to build AOO, the build breaks in serf and oox due to missing system headers.

Apple suggests to ship your own copy of openSSL
http://lists.apple.com/archives/macnetworkprog/2015/Jun/msg00025.html

"We recommend that developers who need OpenSSL build their own copy of it and include that copy in their app."
Comment 4 Jim Jagielski 2016-09-14 17:32:48 UTC 
IMHO, we should consider openssl as an "external" dependency ala java and ant when building. Building openssl yourself or, even better, using MacPorts or Homebrew helps simplify these.

Java and ant are completely different, using MacPorts' or homebrew's OpenSSL is just a hack for a development build, but you cannot release AOO built on this environment: the base MacOSX is 10.7 http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/source/sys_reqs_aoo41.html#os-x
If AOO built on El Capitan with MacPorts is linked against MacPorts openSSL libs (https://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/devel/openssl/Portfile openSSL seems to be 1.0.2h), these libraries might not be found in older systems.

The released MacOSX version must be able to run on MacOSX >= 10.7.
Comment 6 Jim Jagielski 2016-10-05 17:14:37 UTC 
What I mean is that during the build process, AOO should either download and compile openssl or use the locally added versions.

A better analogy would have been to compare it to serf rather than ant.
