Build issue with openssl 0.7.14 on Windows 64 msvc

help
1

Dear all,

some library in my code needs openssl 0.7.14. To compile it on Windows, I did all the steps necessary as described here by downloading the pre-build binaries of openssl (version 1.1 64Bit) and set OPENSSL_LIB_DIR and OPENSSL_LIB_INCLUDE to c:\OpenSSL-Win64 and c:\OpenSSL-Win64\include.

However, the compiler does not find the include file:

C:\Users\admin\lipotypexplorer2\webapp-rs>cargo build

C:\Users\admin\lipotypexplorer2\webapp-rs>echo %OPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR%
c:\OpenSSL-Win64\include

I have no idea of what to do now. Any help is deeply appreciated!

I ran into a similar issue. Did you manage to solve it?

At the end, I used a newer version of openssl (don't remember which) which had a 'build.rs' and was building the openssl lib itself. This worked for me.
