Compile php with latest openssl and curl

Question

I am trying to compile php 5.4.36 with latest curl and openssl (1.0.1l), i have compiled openssl into a separated folder

My system is CentOS.

When i try to compile php with

./configure ...etc... --with-curl=/usr/local/curlfolder --with-openssl=/usr/local/opensslfolder 

I get this error:

checking whether to enable FTP support... yes checking OpenSSL dir for FTP... /usr/local/opensslfolder checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config configure: error: Cannot find OpenSSL's libraries 

Both curl and openssl compiled without any issues

Answer 1

these "dirs" are merely prefixes... while cURL basically comes with it's own SSL.

PHP needs to be configured like that, to build for CentOS - with openSSL and cURL:

./configure --build=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu --with-openssl --with-openssl-dir=/usr/local/bin --with-curl=/usr/local 

(assuming the additional libraries were built with):

./configure --prefix=/usr/local 

Answer 2

You can use

--with-openssl or --with-openssl-dir 

If you build openssl from source in folder like /opt/openssl then You can try with

--with-openssl-dir=/opt/openssl 

This was worked for me.
