Greetings,

I am getting the following error
building on HEAD

Library crypto found: YES
Checking for function "CRYPTO_new_ex_data" with dependencies -lssl,
-lcrypto: NO

So this is the error you get if you mix a 64 bit version of openssl and
build with x86 tools. Clearly my problem, but the error message is less
than helpful

There probably is more detail in meson-logs/meson-log.txt - could you post
that?

The problem could be related to the fact that on windows you (I think) can
have binaries with both 32bit and 64bit libraries loaded.

Was this with msvc or gcc/mingw?

I'd have to undo what I did to fix it, but if I find time I will

I was building with the 32bit tools by mistake.

msvc
