Help needed: OpenSSL, Mac OS, without Homebrew

help
#1

If you have such experience, please write steps of resolving the OpenSSL issue on Mac OS without installing Homebrew. It would be the only reason I need Homebrew, so I'm trying to avoid it.

#2

openssl-sys crate has a vendored feature. Enable it, and it will use its own version, not homebrew's.

Thank you, but I can't tell other crates how to use that crate.

#4

You can! Crates' features are global, so if you add openssl-sys to your project and give it the vendor feature, this feature will be enabled for all uses of this crate in every dependency.

#5

I'm just trying to run "cargo install cargo-edit" and it fails because of openssl.

#6

Off-topic here, you can check quiche project, it builds boringSSL from C++ code and imported into Rust code.

#7

Unfortunately, that can't be configured for cargo install so you will have to get Homebrew.

#8

I'll better forget about this crate.
Thanks for responses :slight_smile:

#9

Actually! cargo-edit has a workaround specifically for this!

cargo install cargo-edit --features=vendored-openssl

Installed package cargo-edit v0.8.0 (executables cargo-add, cargo-rm, cargo-set-version, cargo-upgrade)

You are the best! Thank you!
