php{70,71,74,80}-openssl cannot be built while openssl is active, expected?

[msbit (Tom Sullivan)]

Same error message for each:

Error: phpXX-openssl cannot be built while openssl is active.
Error: Please forcibly deactivate openssl, e.g. by running:
Error: 
Error:     sudo port -f deactivate openssl
Error: 
Error: Then try again. You can reactivate openssl again later.
Error: Failed to configure php80-openssl: openssl is active
Error: See /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_lang_php/phpXX-openssl/main.log for details.
Error: Follow https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets if you believe there is a bug.
Error: Processing of port php80-openssl failed

I know there has been some movement with openssl3 being added, so I was wondering if this error is expected, or whether php and these packages should instead depend on and build against openssl11?

These ports have already been updated to use the openssl PG and pegged to version 1.1. The issue is there are bugs in the build configuration that means even though they have been configured to use an alternate install area for openssl 1.1, they still search the primary install prefix *first*. That means if you have the openssl shim port installed, that places sim links to the isolate openssl3 port into the primary prefix, these will still be found, and cause the builds to fail.

I tried my best to figure out how to convince the builds to not do this, but failed, so the second best is to do the above, so at least the user is given instructions how to work around this.

So in short, yes, this is expected, until someone figures out how to fix the builds to not require it.

I do grant you that having X-openssl unable to build when openssl is activate is on the face of it peculiar. Its just a nuance of how the openssl PG and isolate builds work, but maybe a better warning could be issued in this case...

Will fix; working on it.
