I wouldn't recommend changing the system-wide ld.so.conf to list the
installation directory of a custom DYI OpenSSL build. Instead, use
appropriate "-Wl,-R,/some/where" LDFLAGS. If your OpenSSL is 1.1.0 or
later, you can also use a non-empty "shlib_variant" in the build
template, to ensure that the SONAME of the resulting shared library, and
its symbol versions don't conflict with the system-provided OpenSSL.
For example, with OpenSSL 3.2, I use:
+++ Configurations/99-myconf.conf
@@ -0,0 +1,10 @@
+my %targets = (
+ "linux-x86_64-rpk" => {
+ inherit_from => [ "linux-x86_64" ],
+ shlib_variant => "rpk",
+ },
+ "BSD-x86_64-rpk" => {
+ inherit_from => [ "BSD-x86_64" ],
+ shlib_variant => "rpk",
+ },
+);
and then (on FreeBSD, in a sibling directory of the OpenSSL source tree)
run "Configure" as follows:
../openssl/Configure --prefix=/usr/local/siteexec -Wl,-R,/usr/local/siteexec/lib BSD-x86_64-rpk
while on a Fedora system:
../openssl/Configure --prefix=/opt/openssl/3.2 -Wl,-rpath,/opt/openssl/3.2/lib64 linux-x86_64-rpk
then "make" and finally as root "make install_sw".
