Resolving missing link to libcrypto openssl on OSX from: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/38670295/brew-refusing-to-link-openssl

brew update

brew install openssl

ln -s /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/libcrypto.1.0.0.dylib /usr/local/lib/

ln -s /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/libssl.1.0.0.dylib /usr/local/lib/

Yes please :(

is there a way to make this work on M1 Macs with BigSur?

me too! Although I'm using an Intel core desktop with BigSur. I'm hesitant to downgrade.

In M1 chip computers, the installations are placed in /opt/homebrew/opt instead of /usr/local/opt.
So we should use the following:

export LDFLAGS="-L/opt/homebrew/opt/curl/lib -L/opt/homebrew/opt/openssl/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/homebrew/opt/curl/include -I/user/local/opt/openssl/include"

For compilers to find [email protected] you may need to set:
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/include"
👍

thanks, it work for me

this command solve my problem on github CI job: cp /usr/local/opt/[email protected]/lib/pkgconfig/*.pc /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/

On M1 seems like I can make to with $ ln -s /opt/homebrew/opt/openssl\@1.1/lib/pkgconfig/libcrypto.pc /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/libcrypto.pc

@elfgoh thanks, this worked for me!

Thank you very much 🙏

for what it's worth, I got through a compile (v2.48) with:

./configure LDFLAGS=-L/opt/homebrew/lib/ CFLAGS="-I/opt/homebrew/include"

on my M1 mac. Zero symlinks or copying of files!
