libcrypto.lib unresolved external (certificate APIs) in Visual Studio build about cppserver

[Macfly]

running vcvars64.bat before vs.bat fix the issues.
Thanks for your help.

According to FindCrypt.cmake:

find_path(CRYPT_INCLUDE_DIR wincrypt.h)
if(MSVC)
  find_library(CRYPT_LIBRARY crypt32.lib)
else()
  find_library(CRYPT_LIBRARY crypt32)
endif()

wincrypt.h and crypt32.lib should be available via INCLUDE, LIB environment variables. You may try to build in console with VS2019 vcvars64.bat executed before the build.

Do you have Windows SDK installed?
When you run CppServer\build\VisualStudio>01-generate.bat do you see in output:

-- Found OpenSSL: Z:/projects/Projects/CppServer/modules/OpenSSL/VS/lib/libcrypto.lib (found version "1.1.1c")
-- Found Crypt: C:/Program Files (x86)/Windows Kits/10/Lib/10.0.18362.0/um/x64/Crypt32.Lib
-- Found WinSock: C:/Program Files (x86)/Windows Kits/10/Lib/10.0.18362.0/um/x64/MsWSock.Lib

I also have the some problem as @CertitudeDigital. I tried running the 01-generate.bat but I'm not getting the output you specified, this is the output I'm getting:

PS D:\Projects\VS-2019\CppServer\build\VisualStudio> .\01-generate.bat

The SDK is installed and the libs can be found at the path you just stipulated in your comment.

How do I do this?

I'm new to the cmake and C++ environment using visual studio, I'm sorry if my questions are a little stupid.

You can use Windows Environment Variables manager for this:

You can try to append the following paths to the variables:

INCLUDE=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Enterprise\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.22.27905\include;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Enterprise\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.22.27905\ATLMFC\include;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\NETFXSDK\4.8\include\um;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\include\10.0.18362.0\ucrt;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\include\10.0.18362.0\shared;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\include\10.0.18362.0\um;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\include\10.0.18362.0\winrt;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\include\10.0.18362.0\cppwinrt

Your solution worked perfect! I manged to build the project and also to run the tests without any problems.

Thanks for the help @chronoxor 👍

Hello, Ivan, First, I apologize I did not respond immediately to your message below (had to catch some sleep). Secondly, I really appreciate the diligence and professionalism of such a quick response to my question. And running vcvars64.bat prior to running 01-generate4.bat did solve all my problems with the subsequent full build. I think the reason I didn’t catch or consider this is that my environment is set up for lowest-common-denominator commercial releases in 32-bit mode. In any case, nice library, and thanks so much for the help!
