Installing CA Certificates into NetBSD

Submitted by Fekete Zoltán on Mon, 01/23/2017 - 08:00

1. Download the CA certificate in PEM format

If  it was not available in PEM, then determine which format it is (here: DER), then convert it:

$ openssl x509 -in ca-cerificate-file.crt -inform DER -out ca-cerificate-file.pem -outform PEM

2. Check the fingerprint

$ openssl x509 -noout -fingerprint -in ca-certificate-file

3. Copy the CA cert frile into /etc/openssl/certs folder 

Then cd there.

Solve libxml2 build problem

Submitted by Fekete Zoltán on Sat, 01/21/2017 - 19:24

When you experience problems building libxml2 or any other ports depending on it (e.g. libreoffice), see the error message of the compiler. If it contains undefined reference 'lzma_auto_compress', then simply remove lzma and lzmalib packages from the system and continue the build process.

Reason: The base system contains lzma library, and the uncompatible package version supresses if installed.
