OpenSSL version to Wt
Added by Ricardo Cunha over 2 years ago
At this moment OpenSSL version 3.0 is available (from September/2021).
What is the recommended version for Wt 4.5?
For your information, the OpenSSL link for binaries is not working or needs a redirection (wiki page “Installing Wt on MS Windows”).
Thanks in advance!

We have not tried building Wt with OpenSSL version 3.0 yet. We're highly dependent on the version of OpenSSL that Boost.Asio supports, and I don't think it works with Boost.Asio at the moment.
Wt should work with the latest OpenSSL 1.1.x version, so that's currently OpenSSL 1.1.1l.

Many Thanks Roel!!!
For those who want a guide to compiling OpenSSL in Visual Studio (2017 and 2019) for windows, see this youtube video
I recompiled Wt with OpenSLL static libs.
For openSSL vs 1.1.1l, the only detail that wasn't ok following this tutorial is the missing "d" suffix for debug libs. I renamed them manually and it worked.
