Asked by Bryn Nobbs

Hi there seems to be an issue with the openssl script. it fails to complete, but im not sure why, the build process seems to complete ok, there is no error in the log files, and i can build it manually ok, but the script thinks there is an error and dies.

Finding out where the error occurred can be tricky. I've recently added a few lines of code to LFScript which should make it easier to find.

In next revision (19, due today), LFScript will print the phrase "*** BUILD_PROBLEM_DETECTED ***" to the log, whenever an error occurs. You then should be able to search for that phrase in any text editor, and find out exactly where the problem lies.

It would be better if LFScript would terminate a script immediately on an error, but because all output of a script is redirected to a log file, the "Errors found in.... Press CTRL+C to abort" message would then also be send to the log, and LFScript would seem to hang forever...

found out why i was the only person ever with this problem, turns out openssl links against its self, when i was using -j4 in make options it was trying to link before it had built the bit it was trying to link to. opps

so even tho i am glad i found this bug report that solved my problem i would suggest that the script for openssl be changed to call make -j1 instead of just make so that people who specify a hard coded -j option would be able to build without any modifications or headache.
