Update ubuntu prep: install `libssl-dev`
Problem
The packages listed under the system prep steps for Ubuntu were not sufficient for gdk install
to succceed; it bailed out with an error when compiling native extensions for the rugged
gem, which failed with an OpenSSL related error:
-- Could NOT find OpenSSL, try to set the path to OpenSSL root folder in the system variable OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR (missing: OPENSSL_CRYPTO_LIBRARY OPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR)
CMake Error at src/CMakeLists.txt:167 (MESSAGE):
Unable to autodetect a usable HTTPS backend.Please pass the backend name
explicitly (-DUSE_HTTPS=backend)
This was on Pop_OS! 19.04, which is basically an Ubuntu 19.04 with some bells and whistles.
Solution
I found a solution in this SO post, which suggests to install libssl-dev
. This solved the problem for me.
