[CIG-SHORT] Problem building pylith 2.2.1 from source on macOS

[Josimar Alves da Silva]

Hi Brad,

I solved this problem. Fundamentally, in my case, during the building
process the openssl libraries were not being linked at all during the
python installation part. Thus, I modified the existing pylith 2.2.1
Makefile so that it finds the correct openssl libraries.

In summary, if anyone else finds similar issues in the future, here are the
steps:

1) Install openssl (I used homebrew)

2) Run configure as normal for the pylith installation

3) Before running "make", open the Makefile and add two extra paths to the
LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS. For my case, I had to add:
     a) LDFLAGS: -L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib
    b)  CPPFLAGS: -I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include

4) I am under the impression that the default path for pylith to look for
openssl is /usr/local/ssl, which in my case does not exist.

Note that simply configuring pylith-2.2.1 using enable-openssl did not
solve my problem.

Best,
Josimar
