I'm trying to work with Boost:asio to establish a SSL connection.
Now, my compiler says, it can't find openssl/conf.h
I'd like to know where this path is and how to fix this problem.
Thanks in advance.
In my path, it is /usr/include/openssl/conf.h, and we can query dpkg to find the package that it comes from with:
dpkg -S /usr/include/openssl/conf.h
which gives the result:
libssl-dev: /usr/include/openssl/conf.h
Therefore you must run
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
in order to get the development files for the program.
If you already have it installed in a non-standard location, you can export that into the build environment with
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/location/of/lib
You can also use the build-dep command to install all the necessary files for a particular program, e.g.
sudo apt-get build-dep openssl
