I'm trying to compile a program from source on CentOS 7 (boinctui to be specific), but I'm getting the following error from configure:
configure: error: Couldn't find gnutls-openssl library
I can't work out where to get this library from. It's not listed as a package in yum - I've installed openssl-devel and gnutls-devel but that didn't fix it.
Various searches have turned up a blank. Can anyone help?

Fedora, CentOS : "boinctui" is built with no gnutls → See boinctui-2.5.0/redhat/boinctui.spec, which also includes the build text.
cd boinctui-2.5.0/
autoconf
./configure --without-gnutls
make
# make install
... Or you can build an rpm package from these files https://www.dropbox.com/s/jhx4ni44tvntnoa/boinctui-files.tar.gz?dl=0
rpmbuild -bb boinctui-2.5.0.spec
The result is boinctui-2.5.0-1.el7.x86_64.rpm. This package is also included in the dropbox link.
Install the package # yum install ./boinctui-2.5.0-1.el7.x86_64.rpm

The file
boinctui-2.5.0/redhat/boinctui.specsays :BuildRequires: autoconf ncurses-devel expat-devel openssl-devel– Knud Larsen – 2019-08-04T12:14:55.837Aha. Obviously just running
autoconfon its own isn't picking up the right spec. Any way I can force it? – squaregoldfish – 2019-08-06T15:02:31.0201The file
boinctui.spec:$ autoconf && ./configure --without-gnutls && make.... and when 'make' has finished :# make install– Knud Larsen – 2019-08-06T17:05:02.837Thanks for walking me through it. Now I've seen where everything is I get what's going on. – squaregoldfish – 2019-08-06T17:29:55.730
