Vcpkg: Installing openssl and other libraries on MacOS

[Merethiel]

Hi I have the latest version of vcpkg which I cloned from the repository.
Then I executed ./bootstrap-vcpkg.sh which seems to have executed fine.
But I need to install several different libraries which unfortunately has dependencies on openssl, I can't get openssl to install. This is the log it generates.

I ran the command ./vcpkg install openssl

The following packages will be built and installed:
openssl[core]:x64-osx

I receive this error with other libraries I try to install as well.

I had a similar error, with the following error in the log:

In file included from cryptlib.c:117:
./cryptlib.h:62:11: fatal error: 'stdlib.h' file not found
# include <stdlib.h>
^~~~~~
1 error generated.

This was resolved by running xcode-select --install.

See https://github.com/frida/frida/issues/338 for a similar issue.

Ah okay, so I just run xcode-select --install in the terminal then run vcpkg again?

[snorristurluson]

That worked for me, yes.

[Merethiel]

That seems to have done it! Thank you!
