In CMakeLists.txt
, a simple find_package(OpenSSL REQUIRED)
does not work inside a pure nix shell.
$ nix-shell --pure -p cmake openssl cacert pkg-config python3 gtest git
nix-shell$ cmake --build build/relwithdebinfo --config RelWithDebInfo
CMake Error at /nix/store/9cbpyw2256lkll43i97438fhb26h0xvc-cmake-3.31.6/share/cmake-3.31/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:233 (message):
Could NOT find OpenSSL, try to set the path to OpenSSL root folder in the
system variable OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR (missing: OPENSSL_CRYPTO_LIBRARY) (found
version "3.4.1")
Can someone help me figure out a fix?
EDIT: As soon as I posted, I figured out that the issue could an OpenSSL related config and found it: OPENSSL_USE_STATIC_LIBS TRUE
. Why does this work outside nix-shell on nixos though?
EDIT2: pkg_check_modules(OpenSSL REQUIRED openssl)
also makes it work inside nix-shell
. Why?
