Envision cannot build profiles because of OpenSSL

Help
1

When using Envision to build a WiVRn profile I get the following error:
CMake Error at /nix/store/24gbi6mcw4c6jgzai9aaxx9qi2rxdb09-cmake-3.29.6/share/cmake-3.29/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:230 (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
OPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR)
I definetly installed openssl from nixpkgs, no luck.

What does this mean for you?

If whatever you say now does not have anything about “development shells” or “build inputs” in it, then it won’t work.

i have the same problem, using an environment like:

let
  pkgs = import (fetchTarball {
    url = "https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/archive/refs/tags/24.05.tar.gz";
    sha256 = "1lr1h35prqkd1mkmzriwlpvxcb34kmhc9dnr48gkm8hh089hifmx";
  }) {};
  gcc-arm = import ./arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-6.3.0.nix; // a custom compiler i built
in
pkgs.mkShell {
  packages = [
    gcc-arm
    pkgs.cmake
    pkgs.ninja
    pkgs.openssl.dev
    pkgs.pkg-config
  ];
  buildInputs = [
    pkgs.openssl.dev
  ];
}

For what i understood, putting pkgs.openssl.dev into buildInput should be sufficient?
