Tried upgrading openssl this morning on a 4.9REL machine with ports.

I went into /usr/ports/security/openssl and ran:

make -DOPENSSL_OVERWRITE_BASE=yes install

 When it was through building, it didn't over-write the /usr/bin/openssl
binary, but it did install the new openssl in /usr/local/bin.

What am I missing here? The makefile has this line in it:

.if defined(OPENSSL_OVERWRITE_BASE)

I can't understand why it would put it in /usr/local.

I was able to get it built correctly without the =yes appended to the option.

The correct syntax for assigning a value to a make variable would be


make OPENSSL_OVERWRITE_BASE=yes install

This can be important in cases where just defining the variable with '-D' is not enough.
