Explanatory note

Common for building(*1, *2)

Latest master branch supports three libraries about SSL, those are OpenSSL, NSS and GnuTLS(gcrypt and nettle). You should use the library as same as that is linked in libcurl. The libcurl supports OpenSSL, NSS, GnuTLS etc, you should confirm which library is linked by libcurl. (ex. "curl --version" command shows libcurl types and version.)

(*1) You can specify following configure option:

• Use OpenSSL --with-openssl(default)
• Use NSS --with-nss
• Use GnuTLS --with-gnutls(or --with-gnutls --with-nettle)

(*2) Depending on a library to use, please install the developer package.

(*3) Some OS(ubuntu 14.10 etc) needs these packages.
