[pkg-ntp-maintainers] Bug#863225: Bug#863225: ntp: NTP does not build from source

[Hans Linkels]

Hi Kurt,

I agree with you on both statements. Libcrypto is not being linked,
and I have no idea either :)

Today I installed the source files from the Jessie repo on a
fairly pristine Jessie installation. With exactly the same result.

I am a bit puzzeled by this part in the debian/rules files:

    ./configure CFLAGS='$(CFLAGS)' CPPFLAGS='$(CPPFLAGS)' 
LDFLAGS='$(LDFLAGS)' \
<snip>
         --with-openssl-libdir=/usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)

Does $(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH) indicate that this variable is
an imported environment variable? The variable is not set
in the debian/rules files, and nor is it present in the
environment. Setting it in the environment to x86_64-linux-gnu/
doesn't help either.

I also tried to add the option "with-crypto=no" and "without-crypto". 
(Not sure if I need crypto). But to no avail.

Kind regards
Hans
