Tell me please, i am trying to build Libevent for Windows using Cmake GUI, I select the libevent folder and click - configure. But, cmake reports an error:

Could NOT find OpenSSL, try to set the path to OpenSSL root folder in the system variable OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR (missing: OPENSSL_CRYPTO_LIBRARY) (found version "1.1.1i")

Let me ask you two questions:

I understand that I have to show the Cmake the path to OpenSSL. I found a similar question: CMake not able to find OpenSSL library

Where it says what is needed:

set the variables below:

OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=D:/softwares/visualStudio/openssl-0.9.8k_WIN32 OPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR=D:/softwares/visualStudio/openssl-0.9.8k_WIN32/include OPENSSL_LIBRARIES=D:/softwares/visualStudio/openssl-0.9.8k_WIN32/lib

But I just can't figure out how to do this in CMake GUI.

and i don't understand why the error says about openssl version 1.1.1i. Why exactly - "1.1.1i" ?

`missing: OPENSSL_CRYPTO_LIBRARY` means libcrypto is missing. – kiner_shah Dec 19 '21 at 10:50
