Bug #77392 [Opn]: ./configure fails on OpenSSL library searches

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=77392&edit=1 ID: 77392 User updated by: john dot iliffe at iliffe dot ca Reported by: john dot iliffe at iliffe dot ca Summary: ./configure fails on OpenSSL library searches Status: Open Type: Bug Package: *Configuration Issues Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 7.3.0 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: I have been playing with this over the last few days and I now have more information, but I still don't understand why it fails. Configure error is : configure:19063: error: Cannot find OpenSSL's libraries In configure script, this is in the block starting in line 19062: if test -z "$OPENSSL_LIBDIR"; then as_fn_error $? "Cannot find OpenSSL's libraries" "$LINENO" 5 fi So, $OPENSSL_LIBDIR is null. This is set in line 19053 if test -r $i/$PHP_LIBDIR/libssl.a -o -r $i/$PHP_LIBDIR/libssl.$SHLIB_SUFFIX_NAME; then OPENSSL_LIBDIR=$i/$PHP_LIBDIR fi I assume that the "test -r $i/PHP_LIBDIR/libssl.a" failed since the directory wasn't set. But we know that $PHP_LIBDIR points to libssl.a because $i/lib: (/usr/openssl is a link from /usr/openssl-1.1.0i) ls -l /usr/openssl/lib/libssl.a -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 775792 Aug 29 23:13 /usr/openssl/lib/libssl.a We also know that $PHP_LIBDIR is set correctly because the test: if test -z "$OPENSSL_INCDIR"; then as_fn_error $? "Cannot find OpenSSL's <evp.h>" "$LINENO" 5 fi passed in the previous block and $OPENSSL_INCDIR is defined as: OPENSSL_INCDIR=$i/include which validates the $i/include path, and by inference $i. OPENSSL_LIBDIR is defined as: OPENSSL_LIBDIR=$i/$PHP_LIBDIR and $PHP_LIBDIR is defined in line 4973 as "lib" So, it looks like the test that failed should have passed because it seems probable that $OPENSSL_LIBDIR exists and is correct (?). Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-01-19 02:06:19] john dot iliffe at iliffe dot ca I have been playing with this for a while and I'm still stuck in a loop. I set up a link as suggested: /usr/openssl->/usr/openssl-1.1.0i and a quick check shows that this resolves correctly: cd /usr/openssl; ls gives the expected result. (I put a dummy file name on the correct directory to ensure the link was going to the right place) The should resolve (in line 2335 of the config script) to /usr/openssl/include/openssl/ and it does, evp.h is present and the configure test in line 2344 passes here. BUT, my reading of the script is that line 2339 should set OPENSSL_LIBDIR to: /usr/openssl-1.1.0i/lib (PHP_LIBDIR is set to "lib") so that should be the result of: $i=/usr/openssl-1.1.0i $LIB_DIR=lib This errors out with the message "Cannot find OpenSSL's libraries, which arises from line 2349. A quick check using ls -l shows that the expected files are in the expected places. What am I missing? For completeness, here is the configuration: ./configure prefix=/usr/php-7.3.0 --enable-fpm --with-fpm-user=phpfpm --with-libdir=lib64 --with-fpm-group=phpfpm --with-fpm-systemd --disable-short-tags --with-openssl=/usr/openssl --with-pcre-regex --with-imap=/usr/lib64 --with-imap-ssl=/usr/openssl --with-pgsql=/usr/postgres-9.6.2 --enable-zip --with-pear with this link present: lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 14 Jan 18 13:09 /usr/openssl -> openssl-1.1.0i and: ls -l /usr/openssl/lib total 9104 drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 55 Aug 29 23:13 engines-1.1 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 5030226 Aug 29 23:13 libcrypto.a lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 16 Aug 29 23:13 libcrypto.so -> libcrypto.so.1.1 -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 2974920 Aug 29 23:13 libcrypto.so.1.1 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 775792 Aug 29 23:13 libssl.a lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 13 Aug 29 23:13 libssl.so -> libssl.so.1.1 -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 529648 Aug 29 23:13 libssl.so.1.1 drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 61 Aug 29 23:13 pkgconfig ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-01-10 21:11:33] bugs dot php dot net at mundpropaganda dot net Check this out: https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/PHP-7.3/acinclude.m4#L2327 The header files are supposed to be at "{prefix}/includes/openssl/". So your symlinks needs to be "/usr/includes/openssl -> /usr/openssl-1.1.0i", then run configure with "--with-openssl=/usr". ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-01-10 17:44:25] john dot iliffe at iliffe dot ca Thank you for the response. I tried as suggested, set a link from /usr/openssl -> /usr/openssl-1.1.0i and changed the configuration as follows: ./configure prefix=/usr/php-7.3.0 --enable-fpm --with-fpm-user=phpfpm --with-libdir=lib64 --with-fpm-group=phpfpm --with-fpm-systemd --disable-short-tags --with-openssl=/usr/openssl --with-pcre-regex --with-imap=/usr/lib64 --with-imap-ssl=/usr/openssl --with-pgsql=/usr/postgres-9.6.2 --enable-zip --with-pear which results in error "Cannot find OpenSSl's libraries". I also tried changing the locations of OpenSSL to just /usr (ie --with-openssl=/usr) and that results in error "Cannot find OpenSSL's <evp.h>". Since there are two different places in the config where the openssl path is required, I tried various combinations of the above but all ended with "Cannot find OpenSSL's libraries" Yes, I have several versions of OpenSSL on this server, each installed as noted under "/usr/<openssl version number>" and unfortunately they are included in various compiles (like Apache). Thanks again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-01-10 15:05:16] bugs dot php dot net at mundpropaganda dot net "-qversion" should be perfectly fine. It caters to older versions of gcc. I think you need to provide the directory _prefix_ to "--with-openssl", not the actual openssl directory. So if your openssl install really lives in "/usr/openssl-1.1.0i", you need to create a symlink à la "/usr/openssl -> /usr/openssl-1.1.0i" and run configure with "--with-openssl=/usr" See also: http://php.net/manual/en/openssl.installation.php#115909 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-12-31 22:11:20] john dot iliffe at iliffe dot ca Description: ------------ This report contains elements of bug reports 72363 (PHP 7.0 and 7.1 and 75726 (PHP 7.1.12). Note the non-standard location of OpenSSL on my server. It appears that the with-openssl= configuration variable is not being picked up. ./configure prefix=/usr/php-7.3.0 --enable-fpm --with-fpm-user=phpfpm --with-libdir=lib64 --with-fpm-group=phpfpm --with-fpm-systemd --disable-short-tags --with-openssl=/usr/openssl-1.1.0i --with-pcre-regex --with-imap=/usr/lib64 --with-imap-ssl=/usr/openssl-1.1.0i/include/openssl --with-pgsql=/usr/postgres-9.6.2/bin --enable-zip --with-pear Fails with one of several errors: configure: error: Cannot find OpenSSL's libraries - can sometimes be resolved by changing to with-openssl=/usr/openssl-1.1.0i/lib but this leads to configure: error: Cannot find OpenSSL's <evp.h> - can resolve this by coding the FULL path to the include libraries: OPENSSL_INCDIR=/usr/openssl-1.1.0i/include/openssl in line 19052 and several other places where it occurs. Unfortunately, this messes up libs again. There is a typo in lines 3843 and 45626 of the configure file, "-qversion" should be "--version". It gives a configure fatal error when encountered but the configuration continues anyway, at least to the errors above. Test script: --------------- The ./configure shown in the previous section Expected result: ---------------- I would expect a valid make file for the compile step. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=77392&edit=1
