Hi @olekrisek - Thanks for opening this.

./build.sh -o 3.1.4 -c 8.1.2 -n 1.55.1 -d -e -i 12.3 -a 12.3

It seems you are trying to use OpenSSL 3.1 version. Try switching to OpenSSL 3.0 series which is a Long Term Support (LTS) version and is supported until 7th September 2026. OpenSSL versioning is a bit odd (3.1 and 3.2 will expire before 3.0) and the MINOR versions tend to be breaking. For that reason, we focus on the LTS (5 year) version for the project to make it easier to maintain.

I did update the version to latest LTS for all the libraries and it did compile successfully. Please let me know if this helps!

OPENSSL="3.0.9"         # https://www.openssl.org/source/ 
LIBCURL="8.1.2"         # https://curl.haxx.se/download.html
NGHTTP2="1.55.1"        # https://nghttp2.org/
