Reworked the handling of "./configure --with-zlib=FOO", yielding several benefits:
  • FOO can now point to both a flat directory as before or to a directory one level up with lib/ and include/ subdirs, as zlib installs to when configured with a --prefix, fixing an issue reported on the forum.
  • The old method would check the default paths before trying what you gave it, preventing local overrides when you know the platform version isn't what you want and you've built from source, then pointed Fossil at the replacement. It isn't always safe or advisable to remove the platform version in this case merely to get Fossil's configuration script to move on and obey your explicit directive.
  • The old method checked for the header and the library in a single step, resulting in unhelpful configure output, requiring that one dig through config.log to figure out what happened.

Experimental fix for link failure under --with-openssl=tree on some platforms (found on CentOS 6) where OpenSSL needs -lpthread to link. Not on trunk because we probably need something more subtle than this to make it work broadly. ... (Closed-Leaf check-in: 8a046acb user: wyoung tags: openssl-needs-lpthread)
