OpenSSL installation issues
Hey there! I'm currently attempting to set up my project, and I am having some issues with installing required external libraries, in this case OpenSSL. I have attempted several methods of installation, however it doesn't seem like it works like it should. This is how I download and install the binary:
install:
- ps: Start-FileDownload 'http://slproweb.com/download/Win32OpenSSL-1_0_2a.exe'
- ps: msiexec /i Win32OpenSSL-1_0_2a.exe
As far as I can see it doesn't error, nor does it say that the installation actually worked. Further on in my cmake script, I check to see if the package actually exists, and if so link it up properly. At this point I receive this error:
CMake Error at C:/Program Files (x86)/CMake/share/cmake-3.1/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:138 (message):
Could NOT find OpenSSL (missing: OPENSSL_LIBRARIES OPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR)
Call Stack (most recent call first):
C:/Program Files (x86)/CMake/share/cmake-3.1/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:374 (_FPHSA_FAILURE_MESSAGE)
cmake/FindOpenSSL.cmake:176 (find_package_handle_standard_args)
CMakeLists.txt:83 (find_package)
-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
Any help in installing the package correctly would be greatly appreciated!

Oh yes, I forgot to mention. I also tried - cinst OpenSSL.Light but this defaults to 64bit, and my project, at the moment, requires 32bit, which I for some reason cannot switch to.

Aha! I finally figured it out! For future reference:
install:
- ps: Start-FileDownload 'http://slproweb.com/download/Win32OpenSSL-1_0_2a.exe'
- ps: Start-Process "Win32OpenSSL-1_0_2a.exe" -ArgumentList "/silent /verysilent /sp- /suppressmsgboxes" -Wait
This worked flawlessly! :)

Hi,
I added the following command in my appveyor.yml. Thanks you Foereaper.
install:
- ps: Start-FileDownload 'http://slproweb.com/download/Win32OpenSSL-1_0_2a.exe'
- ps: Start-Process "Win32OpenSSL-1_0_2a.exe" -ArgumentList "/silent /verysilent /sp- /suppressmsgboxes" -Wait
Then, I got the following message:
-- Could NOT find OpenSSL, try to set the path to OpenSSL root folder in the system variable OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR (missing: OPENSSL_LIBRARIES OPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR)
It seems that I need to set OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR. However, I don't know where openssl is installed. Could someone tell me the location?

Hey, the root directory for OpenSSL by default is:
C:\OpenSSL-Win32
or
C:\OpenSSL-Win64

Thank you, Foereaper. I found it.

I frequently got the following message:
Start-FileDownload 'http://slproweb.com/download/Win32OpenSSL-1_0_2e.exe'
Exception calling "DownloadFile" with "3" argument(s): "Unable to connect to the remote server"

+ [Appveyor.BuildAgent.Api.RestBuildServices]::DownloadFile($Url, $FileName, $ ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException

When I RE-BUILD COMMIT several times, the error is disappeared. I need to do many times.
OpenSSL is a kind of common library. If appveyor pre-install it, it is very helpful. Could management team do that?

Can you drop a link to a failing build please?

This is it:

http://slproweb.com is probably hosted by 1&1 (checked with http://who-hosts.com) - I guess it's not the same as GitHub.
Let's install OpenSSL on build workers then.

OpenSSL has been deployed to build workers (
C:\OpenSSL-Win32)12 Posted by Takatoshi Kondo on 13 Dec, 2015 01:15 AM
Thank you Feodor, it works fine for me. I removed OpenSSL installation code from my project.

You stated: "OpenSSL has been deployed to build workers (C:\OpenSSL-Win32)"
Can you deploy also the Win64 version?
Thank you in advance.

Sure, I've added a new issue: https://github.com/appveyor/ci/issues/576

It seems that the contents of the directory C:\OpenSSL-Win32 has been changed. If I set the option "os: Previous Visual Studio 2015", then I got the following result:

In the directory, there is no inculde and lib directories, so the program that requires OpenSSL cannot compile.
Could you recover the directory C:\OpenSSL-Win32 ? Or if the include and lib are moved to somewhare, please let me know.

Will deploy a fix today.

Thank you for the quick reply :)

It's been fixed.

Is it possible there has been a regression? Windows builds started failing w/o source changes. https://ci.appveyor.com/project/imazen/imageflow/build/1.0.223/job/...
fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'ssl32.lib'
It does look like the OpenSSL dir is showing up in LIBPATH correctly: "/LIBPATH:C:/OpenSSL-Win64/lib"
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/imazen/imageflow/build/1.0.225/job/...

Hi Nathanael,
As I see last good build was 2 month ago: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/imazen/imageflow/build/1.0.167
This specific error LNK1181 started happened just recently after change https://github.com/imazen/imageflow/commit/a7dbf920a4a4810081a91bbc8ed11f6be0ae3518
Before that it was different error.
I forked your repo, created new project in Appveyor and did the following experiments:
1. Run it as is (https://ci.appveyor.com/project/IlyaFinkelshteyn/imageflow/build/1.0.1) – see the same LNK1181 error
2. Run last known goo build (https://ci.appveyor.com/project/IlyaFinkelshteyn/imageflow/build/1.0.2) – as you see, it finished successfully.
3. Undid your change to appveyor.yml (https://ci.appveyor.com/project/IlyaFinkelshteyn/imageflow/build/1.0.3) – it failed with the same error it was failing for many times before, with error error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'openssl/ssl.h, which happened many times before.
Am I understand correctly, that your change https://github.com/imazen/imageflow/commit/a7dbf920a4a4810081a91bbc8ed11f6be0ae3518 was made in attempt to fix error C1083, as advised here https://github.com/sfackler/rust-openssl, but it introduced LNK1181 error instead?
Also is it possible for you to make small hello world repro for us to speed up investigation? Those small reproes also priceless for our regression test suite for VHD updates.
