[openssl-dev] [openssl.org #4203] OpenSSL 1.0.2e. Failed build due to (possibly) wrong include of dummytest.c

[Anton Prytkov via RT]

Maybe that's my English. I'll try to rephrase.
1. When I tried to build openssl, the build process stopped with error 
when compiling file "md2test.c" from "test" directory.
The error was something like "too many decimal points in a number" (I 
don't remember well).
The contents of that file (named "md2test.c") was just a text 
"openssl-1.0.2e/dummytest.c" (without quotes). Nothing before or after 
this string.
The same is for jpaketest.c, md2test.c, rc5test.c.
2. After I changed the content of that three files to "#include 
"dummytest.c" (instead of "openssl-1.0.2e/dummytest.c") I was able to 
successfully build OpenSSL.
P.S. I just checked the file "md2test.c" in openssl-1.0.2e.tar.gz. It's 
a 26-byte long file with "openssl-1.0.2e/dummytest.c" inside.
No "#include <stdio.h>" or anything else.
