[ruby-core:108508] [Ruby master Bug#18763] The configure option “--with-openssl-dir” has lower precedence than pkg-config

["Eregon (Benoit Daloze)" <noreply@ruby-lang.org>]

Issue #18763 has been updated by Eregon (Benoit Daloze).


This issue has more details: https://github.com/postmodern/ruby-install/issues/412

So CRuby picks a mix of of 1.1 headers and 3.0 lib, when given `--with-openssl-dir`.
That sounds like a clear bug.

Setting `PKG_CONFIG_PATH` helps but this is not intuitive, `--with-openssl-dir` should be enough on its own.

----------------------------------------
I’m trying to compile Ruby 2.7.6 (latest stable release in 2.7 branch). In my environment, there are two OpenSSL installed, v1.1 and v3. The system pkg-config will find OpenSSL v3, but it isn’t compatible with Ruby 2.7, so I’d like to configure Ruby to link to OpenSSL v1.1 with `--with-openssl-dir`, but `./configure` still uses OpenSSL 3 (that it found via pkg-config). Is this expected? If so, how am I supposed to override the OpenSSL directory?
