[squid-users] Squid with custom openssl path is using the openssl installed in default path

[Stilyan Georgiev]

Hi,

Trying to build squid using custom path for openssl and related 
libraries. My goal is to use openssl 1.1.1 which is installed in /usr/local

--
/usr/local/bin/openssl version
OpenSSL 1.1.1b  26 Feb 2019
--

I did install it like that:

--
  ./config --prefix=/usr/local --openssldir=/usr/local/lib/ssl 
--libdir=lib '-Wl,--enable-new-dtags,-rpath,$(LIBRPATH)' no-tls1_3 
no-ssl3 no-idea no-mdc2 no-rc5 no-zlib enable-unit-test enable-rfc3779 
enable-cms
--

On the system (Ubuntu 18.04.02) I've got earlier version of openssl 
installed , which is dependency for other packages.

--
dpkg --list |grep ssl
ii  libgnutls-openssl27:amd64             3.5.18-1ubuntu1
ii  libio-socket-ssl-perl                 2.056-1

I also had the libssl-dev which I successfully uninstalled in desperate 
attempts but that didn't help.

This is how I config squid (4.5 incl. latest bugfixes):

--
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/squid --with-openssl=/usr/local
--

During config I saw the line: configure: OpenSSL library support: yes 
-L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/lib -lssl -lcrypto

However after installation I'm pulling my hair over this:

--
/usr/local/squid/sbin/squid -v
Squid Cache: Version 4.5-20190208-r568e66b7c
Service Name: squid

This binary uses OpenSSL 1.1.0g  2 Nov 2017. For legal restrictions on 
distribution see https://www.openssl.org/source/license.html

configure options:  '--prefix=/usr/local/squid' '--with-openssl=/usr/local'
--

Instead of using openssl 1.1.1 from path I gave it uses the system package.

Desperate attempts:

I've also tried configuring squid like so with same end result - 
non-custom openssl used

--
./configure  --prefix=/usr/local/squid --with-openssl 
'LIBOPENSSL_CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include/openssl -L/usr/local/lib'
--

Tried config of openssl like so (note openssldir not /usr/local/lib/ssl) 
with same end result:

--
./config --prefix=/usr/local --openssldir=/usr/local/lib --libdir=lib 
'-Wl,--enable-new-dtags,-rpath,$(LIBRPATH)' no-tls1_3 no-ssl3 no-idea 
no-mdc2 no-rc5 no-zlib enable-unit-test enable-rfc3779 enable-cms
--

I'm really, really desperate over here.

Thanks in advance for helping out.
