It won't compile with openssl 1.1

[GildedHonour]

$ openssl version
OpenSSL 1.1.0h  27 Mar 2018

When I compile a test app, I get:

I've also tried this

$ export="PKG_CONFIG_PATH /usr/lib/openssl-1.0/pkgconfig"
$swift build

and

$ swift build -Xswiftc -I/usr/include/openssl

didn't help

[mxcl]

I experience this also on Ubuntu 18.04 which I needed to get curl > 7.51.

This is the 5th time I've found an issue with Perfect that is ignored by the maintainers, if I can't find a solution to this I'm trying Vapor instead.

Perfect has mostly been good, but it seems unmaintained and mostly unloved.

[mxcl]

K on Ubuntu 18.04 you can:

sudo apt-get install openssl1.0 libssl1.0-dev

Which will get you passed this issue.

[mxcl]

No, this leads to dependency hell since there is no libcurl-dev for OpenSSL 1.0.

I recommend sticking with Ubuntu 16.04

Could you please tell a little more about this? What did you have to do to make it work?

This project includes a script which will install Swift and all major dependencies for Perfect directly into your Ubuntu system. https://github.com/PerfectlySoft/Perfect-Ubuntu
