Johanna Amann commented on BIT-1506:
------------------------------------

I think this actually is not really a problem - we already require the installation of 3rd party utilities if you want to build Bro on os-x (at least cmake and swig). So - all we really have to do is to add openssl to that list in https://www.bro.org/sphinx-git/install/install.html. I really do not think that we want to do either of shipping OpenSSL to bro or using their secure transport API.

> It looks like Apple removed the OpenSSL headers with El Capitan[1] (OS X
> 10.11), and now Bro fails to build on OS X. Apple's recommendation is
> that we either include a copy of OpenSSL ourselves or we use their
> Secure Transport API.
