Inspired by this article I tried to compile the most recent stable version of squid under Debian Jessie. With some small changes it works as expected. If you haven’t already, install the “build-essential” package. Additionally, if you want to compile squid with SSL-support, you also need “openssl” and “libssl-dev”: apt-get install -y openssl build-essential libssl-dev… Continue reading Compile squid 3.5.x under Debian Jessie
