Description Paul Eggleton 2015-12-16 19:26:04 UTC
On some distros you need to install the "BigNum" perl module in order to build OpenSSL - see bug 8562. Fedora at least needs this (there it's packaged as perl-bignum), unsure about other distros.
Comment 1 Ross Burton 2015-12-16 21:04:29 UTC
As far as I'm aware it's just Fedora 23 that needs this.
Comment 2 Scott Rifenbark 2016-01-15 16:01:11 UTC
Hi, 

I have added this to the poky.ent file so that perl-bignum is part of the Fedora essential packages.  The list appears in both the Quick Start and the ref-manual:

 * http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.1/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#fedora-packages

 * http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.1/yocto-project-qs/yocto-project-qs.html#packages

Let me know if this is good and I will reset the bug.

Thanks, 
Scott

Might be neater if it was listed with the other perl packages, but otherwise that's great, thanks Scott.

Ross - I can manage that.  I will update.

Ok - they are grouped.  I am setting to RESOLVED and putting the doc flag to "Done".

Thanks
