Arch Linux User Repository

Upstream has now made it possible to build both firefox and chrome (including safari, chrome_android) all together, so I would encorage using this package from now on instead: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/curl-impersonate

checking for SSL_connect in -lssl... no
checking for ssl with RSAglue/rsaref libs in use... checking for SSL_connect in -lssl... (cached) no
no
configure: error: OpenSSL libs and/or directories were not found where specified!
make: *** [Makefile:245: curl-8_7_1/.chrome] Error 1

@patlefort Thanks! Applied.

Patch to fix some issues: https://pastebin.com/iBdeqW9R

• Force -j1: Makefile has a lot of issues when building in parallel.
• Remove v from version.
• Fix a warning as error.
• provides variable should not contain the package's name, they already provide themselves.
• !buildflags no longer necessary.

Installing the libc++ package solved the

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lc++: No such file or directory

for me. I guess this should be added to depends array in the PKGBUILD:

depends=(nss libc++)

@patlefort I encountered the same error when I tried building this package, not sure if I have any wrong configs in my machine.

@dilud Thanks. I also have the same issue as you in the end. I feel that patching the patch feels like a hack, but if we find a way to fix the other issue then we could do it like that.

@mattf, you can just patch it yourself in the PKGBUILD until the BoringSSL patch gets fixed by lexiforest.

Here's a patch to your repo with my suggestion:

Unfortunately this alone won't make curl-impersonate-chrome compile, at least in my machine. Later I get a configure error while it tries to build cURL:

configure:4998: gcc   -lc++ conftest.c -pthread -lc++ >&5
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lc++: No such file or directory
configure:5050: error: C compiler cannot create executables

@simona There is an issue open in upstream about that: https://github.com/lexiforest/curl-impersonate/issues/81

I don't know if there is any proper workaround that could be done here. Let me know if you have suggestions.
