Adam Slagell commented on BIT-1506:
-----------------------------------

I still see three issues: 
* that we lack instructions on how to get 2.4.x to work on 10.11
* git-master still does not work out-of-the-box
* configure option --with-openssl=PATH does not work completely.

If someone comes up with simple instructions for getting 2.4.x to work on El Capitan, I will test them. Using the "--with-openssl" configure option does not set the path correctly for everything.

I found that git-master will build if you export the correct path as below for home brew.

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$(brew --prefix)/opt/openssl/lib/pkgconfig

But we should try to make it detect automatically for common Mac packaging solutions like MacPorts and Homebrew.

> 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.
