[openssl] Build error about vcpkg

[hqho]

This was what were done above using the "overrides" list in the vcpkg.json.

"overrides": [
{
"name": "openssl",
"version-string": "1.0.2j"
},
{
"name": "curl",
"version": "8.2.1"
}
]

After it downloaded the openssl version then it failed cmake

Package: openssl:x64-linux -> 1.0.2j

Outdated, won't be fixed.

• vcpkg-tool version: 2023-08-09-9990a4c9026811a312cb2af78bf77f3d9d288416
  vcpkg-scripts version: 9edb1b8 2023-08-14 (9 months ago)

Outdated, won't be fixed.

Why are people flooding vcpkg with outdated stuff ATM? A teacher providing outdated materials?

[hqho]

It might be outdated, but it's still supported by google cloud cpp
https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-cpp/blob/main/doc/packaging.md#required-libraries

[dg0yt]

You might be able to build old versions of openssl with an up-to-date vcpkg, using manifest mode. That's what versioning exists for. However, you leave the area of tested configurations, and you don't get fixes for old port versions from this registry.

[hqho]

Can you point me to how I can do this?

Linux doesn't need the "NMake Makefiles" generator.
And nobody cares about a port version from 2016, in particular in a security-sensitive area.
(Maybe you need to use port "openssl-unix" if you really want stone age.)
