Compiling with a custom SSL library

Server NGINX
1

Decided to compile my own copy of openssl (dev snapshot) which is
stored in /usr/local/ssl ,…but nginx isn’t detecting it :frowning:

root@server:/usr/local/ssl# ls -al
total 48
drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 2011-05-15 22:15 .
drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 4096 2011-05-15 22:13 …
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2011-05-15 22:15 bin
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2011-05-15 22:15 certs
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2011-05-15 22:15 include
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2011-05-15 22:15 lib
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 2011-05-15 22:13 man
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2011-05-15 22:15 misc
-rw-r–r-- 1 root root 10819 2011-05-15 22:15 openssl.cnf
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2011-05-15 22:15 private

Tried combinations of --with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl and /usr/local

root@server:~/nginx-1.0.2# make
make -f objs/Makefile
make[1]: Entering directory /root/nginx-1.0.2' cd /usr/local/ssl \ && make clean \ && ./config --prefix=/usr/local/ssl/.openssl no-shared no-threads \ && make \ && make install LIBDIR=lib make[2]: Entering directory/usr/local/ssl’
make[2]: *** No rule to make target clean'. Stop. make[2]: Leaving directory/usr/local/ssl’
make[1]: *** [/usr/local/ssl/.openssl/include/openssl/ssl.h] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/nginx-1.0.2’
make: *** [build] Error 2

What is the correct ssl dir I need to point it to?

Okay, managed to “fix” it, by modifying auto/lib/openssl/conf

from

        CORE_INCS="$CORE_INCS $OPENSSL/.openssl/include"
        CORE_DEPS="$CORE_DEPS

$OPENSSL/.openssl/include/openssl/ssl.h"
CORE_LIBS="$CORE_LIBS $OPENSSL/.openssl/lib/libssl.a"
CORE_LIBS="$CORE_LIBS $OPENSSL/.openssl/lib/libcrypto.a"

to,

        CORE_INCS="$CORE_INCS $OPENSSL/openssl/include"
        CORE_DEPS="$CORE_DEPS

$OPENSSL/openssl/include/openssl/ssl.h"
CORE_LIBS="$CORE_LIBS $OPENSSL/openssl/lib/libssl.a"
CORE_LIBS="$CORE_LIBS $OPENSSL/openssl/lib/libcrypto.a"

and link /usr/local/openssl -> /usr/local/ssl

./configure --help | grep openssl=
–with-openssl=DIR set path to OpenSSL library sources

The sources, but not pre-built installation.

wget http://openssl.org/source/openssl-1.0.0d.tar.gz
tar zxf openssl-1.0.0d.tar.gz
cd nginx-1.0.2
./configure --with-openssl=…/openssl-1.0.0d …

thanks Igor that helped me with my custom nginx 1.0.2 + php-fpm openssl
1.0.0d install as well :slight_smile:
