Building libssh: Could not detect openssl/des.h

Question

While building libssh on Windows machine I have faced a lot of struggles. I overcome some, but couldn't find any solution for this one. Here is it:

Couldn't find clear answers while googling.

Tried to install different versions of openssl. Installed Zlib.

Here is the CmakeOutputLog

The system is: Windows - 10.0.15063 - AMD64
Compiling the C compiler identification source file "CMakeCCompilerId.c" succeeded.

Don't build OpenSSL with Cmake. As far as I know, its not a supported configuration. You should build OpenSSL for Windows according to [`NOTES.WIN`](https://github.com/openssl/openssl/blob/master/NOTES.WIN) provided in the sources. The procedure includes running `Configure`. I'm guessing the same applies to OpenSSH. I can only guess because I am less familiar with building OpenSSH. You might find [Noloader GitHub | Build Scripts](https://github.com/noloader/Build-Scripts) useful. It includes a script to build OpenSSH on Linux (not Windows). — jww, Oct 12 '17 at 06:25
I didn't build Openssl with Cmake, I was building libssh, but it needs, as I understood installed Openssl (which I already had). But it says it cannot detect openssl/des.h which is located in INCLUDE directory of openssl. I have a path for it in Cmake, but it doesn't help me :( — Kadyrbek Narmamatov, Oct 12 '17 at 06:29
Can you show the path where you include the include directory from openssl? — Marek Klein, Oct 12 '17 at 10:25
@MarekKlein here it is OPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR=D:\Programs\OpenSSL-Win32\include — Kadyrbek Narmamatov, Oct 12 '17 at 10:46
@jww OpenSSL 1.1.x actually builds a lot easier on Windows when using CMake. — Cinder Biscuits, Oct 12 '17 at 14:21
@CinderBiscuits , I also thought so. It just followed the instructions and stuck with this problem. I am struggling with this almost one day. — Kadyrbek Narmamatov, Oct 13 '17 at 03:35
@KadyrbekNarmamatov Please try setting these variables in cmake: OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=D:/Programs/OpenSSL-Win32 OPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR=D:/Programs/OpenSSL-Win32/include OPENSSL_LIBRARIES=D:/Programs/OpenSSL-Win32/lib — Cinder Biscuits, Oct 13 '17 at 06:57
If this does not work, please add the output of CMakeOutput.log to the question. — Cinder Biscuits, Oct 13 '17 at 06:58
