Can't compile Windows - openssl/1.1.1.s

When trying to compile Windows, I get

Can't Open apps//openssl.pdb at .\util\copy.pl line 68.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:/Users/pierr/.conan/data/strawberryperl/5.32.1.1/_/_/package/ca33edce272a279b24f87dc0d4cf5bbdcffbc187/bin/perl.exe" ".\util\copy.pl" "apps\\openssl.pdb"  "C:\Users\pierr\.conan\data\openssl\1.1.1s\_\_\package\5a61a86bb3e07ce4262c80e1510f9c05e9b6d48b/\bin"' : return code '0x2'

It seems .\util\copy.pl is trying to copy apps\\openssl.pdb but the pdb file does not exist. I've run into this in the past, this was somehow fixed at some point, but we are hitting the issue again. Perhaps because of not having conan lockfiles anymore, which is a big blow to build reproducibility.

I'm building with ./bootstrap-orbit.ps1 msvc2019_relwithdebinfo. I've tried building for msvc2022, but I get into other issues.

I'm using conan 1.63, which is the latest 1.X version right now.

Original issue: #4663

[pierricgimmig]

In .conan\data\openssl\1.1.1s\_\_\source\src\Configurations\windows-makefile.tmpl, manually removing

	@"$(PERL)" "$(SRCDIR)\util\copy.pl" $(INSTALL_PROGRAMPDBS) \
                                        "$(INSTALLTOP)\bin"

fixes the issue, albeit not very cleanly.

Finally able to compile Orbit on Windows, took about 2 days. Setup that works:

• msvc2019_relwithdebinfo
• Windows 11
• Conan version 1.63.0
• No space in .conan path (!!)
• cmake version 3.29.0
• Python 3.11.8
