Compiling Alpine on OpenSolaris 2009.06

For Alpine 2.00, the configure file looks around in the wrong directories for the OpenSSL header files.

...
    *-*-solaris*)
      if test -d /usr/sfw/include/openssl ; then
        alpine_SSLDIR="/usr/sfw"
      elif test -d /opt/csw/include/openssl ; then
        alpine_SSLDIR="/opt/csw"
        if test -d /opt/csw/ssl/certs ; then
          alpine_SSLCERTS="/opt/csw/ssl/certs"
        fi
      fi
...

Unfortunately, configure never looks for the new location: /usr/include/openssl. Thankfully, there is an easy fix:

./configure --with-ssl-include-dir=/usr/include/openssl
