After struggling with openssl about weechat-discord HOT 3 CLOSED

Sorry about that - I thought I documented that, but I'm not seeing it.

NB: pkg-config allows rust compiler (and others building tools) to find path information of libssl, without setting those path yourself via env vars (OPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR and OPENSSL_LIB_DIR)

Unfortunately this doesn't work too well :( because openssl-1.0 is needed, and some distros are on 1.1, the story gets complicated. Some distros require the package openssl-1.0 (or libssl1.0, etc.), which using pkg-config doesn't work against, because it finds the openssl 1.1 .pc file and reports the include/link flags for that package.

The reason why I set those env vars manually is to override the default behavior to use openssl-1.1 and drop it to 1.0. It's a really sad compat story, but until discord-rs updates its dependency to openssl-sys-extras 0.9, it's required.

No problem, you're absolutely right.

Feel free to close the issue whenever you want. And thanks again for you're work!

Leaving this open for now so I remember to add docs 😊
