librest-0.7.92

New version out, but more importantly, configure errors if either --with-ca-certificates= or --without-ca-certificates are not present.

Suggest that we use --with-ca-certificates=/etc/ssl/ca-bundle.crt

It should pick /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt without any switches. The mentioned file is a symlink to /etc/ssl/ca-bundle.crt. The former seems to be shipped by popular distros, hence why autodetection works ootb.

This builds correctly without any modification to the current switches,

The certs, as Armin pointed out are auto-detected correctly.

It doesn't auto-detect for me. What is the secret for auto-detecting?

I see what the problem is. I installed the ca certificates more than a year ago on this system. Back then, there was no instruction to create a symlink. A symlink was add on 2013-07-17.

Make sure that /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt exist.
