      In a directory set up with the Enterprise module, type:

      scons all

      Eventually you get:

      SSL not enabled. Enterprise MongoDB must be built with --ssl specified

      Then type:

      scons all --ssl

      You get, eventually:

      Checking that linking to OpenSSL works...no
SSL is enabled, but is unavailable
See /media/DATA2/data/m/ent/mongo/build/scons/config.log for details

      Looking in config.log, this is apparently because the linker cannot find the "main" method in the conftest file that is linked. To fix the problem, you can do this:

      scons all --ssl --config=force
      Show

      If I mistakenly run "scons" to build with the Enterprise module and forget --ssl, I end up breaking my cached config such that I need to use "--config=force". I'm not sure if there is a bug in scons TryLink, or in the way we're melding things from the Enterprise module into the configuration stage.
