[New-bugs-announce] [issue39696] Failed to build _ssl module, but libraries was installed

[Marco Sulla]

New submission from Marco Sulla <launchpad.net at marco.sulla.e4ward.com>:

Similarly to enhancement request #39695, I missed to install the debian package with the include files for SSL, before compiling Python 3.9.

After installed it, `make` continued to not find the libraries and skipped the creation of module _ssl.

Searching on internet, I found that doing:

make clean
./configure etc
make

works.

Maybe the SSL library check is done only at configure phase?
