But it is clear that this is worth clarifying both in the openssl pkg-descr *and* in the make.conf man page. > bsd.openssl.mk has the falling checks: if WITH_OPENSSL_BASE is set, then use the base system's OpenSSL. if WITH_OPENSSL_BASE or WITH_OPENSSL_PORT are not set, check if ${LOCALBASE}/lib/libcrypto.so is installed, if it is then use the OpenSSL port, otherwise use the base system's OpenSSL. if WITH_OPENSSL_PORT is set, then use the OpenSSL port So, if you install the OpenSSL port first, then ports that require OpenSSL should be built against the OpenSSL Port. -- DISCLAIMER: No electrons were maimed while sending this message.
