Ah, I see now that it uses Makefile to generate three *.pc files. I don't
know exactly how our build framework works. Is it possible to import the
*.pc files on your own by copy from Makefile or you prefer to use
openssl's Makefile?

Cool thanks!
When we have these *.pc files installed, then I am thinking about tweak in
ports/Mk/bsd.openssl.mk by add something like
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/libdata/pkgconfig:${LOCALBASE}/libdata/pkgconfig in
the WITH_OPENSSL_BASE area. I don't know if it will working yet, but we
will see.

After thinking about that more... One thing that got me a bit worry about
get complicate. If there is other stuff in our base system also need to
install *.pc file. Let's say bind9.pc (I make up). When a user want to use
OpenSSL from base system but want to use bind9 from ports rather than base
system, then that PKG_CONFIG_PATH won't work very well unless we rename
the name of *.pc file to something like openssl-base.pc. I don't know
which we should:
1) Forget about install *.pc files, hack in ports tree.
2) Go ahead change the name of *.pc file and install these,
then add simpler hack in ports tree.
3) Do anyone have any better suggest?
I personal like #2, because it is a lot easier to hack in configure to
change the name from openssl to openssl-base than #1 way like I did with
net-p2p/transmission/files/patch-configure .. But... I am up for the vote.
:-)
Cheers,
