Description:
------------
I run into an error when trying to configure PHP 7.2.13 with a static
openssl 1.1.1 library. The strange thing however is that using a static openssl
1.0.2 library works.

The error is as follows:

checking for OpenSSL version... >= 1.0.1
checking for CRYPTO_free in -lcrypto... yes
checking for SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version in -lssl... no
configure: error: libssl not found!

I've also tried to set:
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/ssl-1.1.1/lib/pkgconfig/

But it did not help.

Here's my config.log: https://evermeet.cx/pub/logs/config.log

So linking against a static openssl 1.0.2 works, but against a static
openssl 1.1.1 does not work.

For some strange reason the "-lpthread" in OPENSSL_LIBS is ignored. It is necessary though, because the configure process does not add it even though it's needed for openssl.

Adding it to LIBS solved the issue.

This is the command that finally worked (my static OpenSSL 1.1.1 is in /usr/local/ssl-1.1.1):

./configure [snip] --with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl-1.1.1 [snip]
CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib LIBS="-lpthread"
OPENSSL_LIBS="-L/usr/local/ssl-1.1.1/lib -l:libssl.a -l:libcrypto.a -ldl
-lpthread" OPENSSL_CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/ssl-1.1.1/include"

Info from Jan Ehrhardt:

In the next releases (7.2.25 and 7.3.12) '-pthread' in OPENSSL_LIBS will not be ignored any longer for static openssl linking.

So, is that the case?

I have no idea, since I haven't changed my build script, which still looks like this:

./configure [snip] --with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl-1.1.1 [snip] CFLAGS=-/usr/local/include LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib LIBS="-lpthread" OPENSSL_LIBS="-L/usr/local/ssl-1.1.1/lib -l:libssl.a -l:libcrypto.a -ldl -lpthread" OPENSSL_CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/ssl-1.1.1/include"

Just tested the following configure line (the one that worked with 1.0.2) and it did not work:

./configure [snip] --with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl-1.1.1 [snip] CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib

I tried with and without:
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/ssl-1.1.1/lib/pkgconfig/

Same error as before (same name, new log file): https://evermeet.cx/pub/logs/config.log

Probably relevant error message:

/bin/ld: /usr/local/ssl-1.1.1/lib/libcrypto.a(threads_pthread.o): undefined reference to symbol 'pthread_rwlock_wrlock@@GLIBC_2.2.5'
/bin/ld: note: 'pthread_rwlock_wrlock@@GLIBC_2.2.5' is defined in DSO /lib64/libpthread.so.0 so try adding it to the linker command line

This time I added OPENSSL_LIBS=-lpthread, but it still doesn't work.
Same messge in config.log: https://evermeet.cx/pub/logs/config.1.log

>So, is that the case?

So apparently it is not.

Either way, I find it rather strange that the build process checks that there's only a static lib in the specified openssl path, but yet the pthread lib is not added automatically (why not hardcode that? if static, add pthread).

So the current build process does not only ignore pkgconfig, but also OPENSSL_LIBS. Thus nothing was fixed.
