Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ultimatepp/ultimatepp/issues/292

Originally assigned to: @ismail-yilmaz on GitHub.

I had a request to compile application for Rocky Linux 8.1. U++ fails to install because SSL library is too old there.

For now, I have fixed with ugly hack:

500ccc11a4

Please, can you look into this and fix it properly? I think there must be e.g. some proper SSL version info.

The question is what to do with SecureBuffer - perhaps it could use different encryption with old SSL?

Got it. I'll find a workaround ASAP.

The question is what to do with SecureBuffer - perhaps it could use different encryption with old SSL?

Well, SecureBuffer relies only on OPENSSL_Cleanse function (it doesn't do any encryption, only locking and cleansing), which is available since OpenSSL v1.1.x. So it should work with the older version unless Rocky Linux uses a relic (pre v1.1.x). Is it that old?

Well, `SecureBuffer` relies only on `OPENSSL_Cleanse` function (it doesn't do any encryption, only locking and cleansing), which is available since OpenSSL `v1.1.x`. So it should work with the older version unless Rocky Linux uses a relic (pre v1.1.x). Is it that old?

Not sure, did not investigate. If possible, I suggest to use Rocky 8.1 as "old distro model". A lot of people are stuck with it as it is basically redhat without support.... (and it will fix us for old redhats as well).

I might have been to quick to remove SecureBuffer too...

@mirek-fidler

By the way, The oldest version of Rocky Linux I could find is 8.3. There doesn't seem to be a 8.1 in the list (or in their repo).

As for PR #294

Compatibility fix is done in the right way. Thanks @killerdevildog
Tested on Rocky Linux with OpenSSL 1.1.x. I was just preparing the same.
However, I don't think the tests are OK. They rely completely on standard library (as is).

P.s: Disregard my comment on tests, I've later seen the note:

the test files can be deleted, befoer merge just there for you to test.
