How to resolve fatal error: 'openssl/conf.h' file not found

[narenkhatwani]

While running a project, I am encountering the error:

#command-line-arguments
In file included from src/master/master.go:4:
In file included from ./../c/dpf.c:3:
./../c/dpf.h:10:10: fatal error: 'openssl/conf.h' file not found
#include <openssl/conf.h>
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1 error generated.

I tried some solutions mentioned by users at online forums like:

Adding the path to openssl1.1 in my .zshrc file

echo 'export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/openssl@1.1/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc

I also have set the

export LDFLAGS="-L/opt/homebrew/opt/openssl@1.1/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/homebrew/opt/openssl@1.1/include"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/openssl@1.1/lib/pkgconfig"

System Specifications:
MacOS Version 13.3.1

Can someone please help me with this?

Did you build or install OpenSSL?

Several of the header files are generated and this is one.

Until you build OpenSSL, this file won't exist. Unless you install it, you'll need to override the include path.

I did a brew install openssl and didn’t build it

Also verified the header file exists at the default path for new packages for MacOS but still I get the same error of the header file not being found.

Would you suggest I brew uninstall and build openssl from source?

I'd suggest raising a bug against brew.

Okay, also just wanted to confirm if there are any steps mentioned anywhere to build OpenSSL on ARM macs

Just follow the install instructions and it should work.
