All, The subject basically says it all. I want to compile squid3 statically with SSL enabled. I have tried doing the following: ./configure --enable-ssl --enable-static=yes But that doesn't work. I still get an error indicating an SSL library is needed and missing. I also tried adding "-static" to the "gcc" option in the Makefile, and I also added it to the LDFLAGS (which probably would have worked anyhow). When I do the configure statement above however without the "--enable-ssl" it seems to be compiled statically, but it just doesn't have SSL capabilities. I've done google searches, I've checked the configure --help, and nothing that I could see. Any ideas?
