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

The installation instructions are in the Bro Manual though, and hence an update will only affect the development version and not the version people are likely to visit if they are using 2.4.x, right?

Is there a way we can update the release version of the bro manual without making a new release? Or should we put a note somewhere else about the 2.4.x + Mac OS 10.11 + Homebrew problem?

> 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.
