FreeBSD brain.lan.d-dt.de 6.3-STABLE FreeBSD 6.3-STABLE #2: Sat Jan 19 02:53:24 CET 2008     root at brain.lan.d-dt.de:/data/build/obj/data/build/src/sys/GENERIC  i386

>Description:
Building databases/postgresNN with openssl from ports installed leads to:

Dependency error: this port wants the OpenSSL library from the FreeBSD
base system. You can't build against it, while a newer
version is installed by a port.
Please deinstall the port or undefine WITH_OPENSSL_BASE.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/databases/postgresql83-client.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/databases/postgresql83-client.

Yes, WITH_OPENSSL_BASE is defined in make.conf. USE_OPENSSL_BASE ends in the same result.

Since I only use OpenSSL from ports only for certification purposes, I do not want to link other ports against it to keep dependencies simple. I does not matter whether OpenSSL-DESTDIR points to /usr/local or /something/else.
>How-To-Repeat:
Repeat the above. But facing no Problems with e.g. cyrus-sasl2 build.
>Fix:
Dont really know: bsd.openssl.mk asks for:

.if defined(WITH_OPENSSL_BASE)

and right after for:

.if !exists(${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/libcrypto.so)

# error comes here

I don't think one should check for libXXX in LOCALBASE if I explicitly declined this. But I'm bemused, since it (during postgres build) asks for libs in DESTDIR, but openssl is installed under /some/other/dir.
