@kish1212
just as a note.
the other one seemed to miss some openSLL headers.

Hi,

Do you mean you already have OpenSSL installed on your machine ?

Hi
Followup to any one finding it.
we used
https://github.com/lanmessenger/lanmessenger
and followed the docs and it works.
Note that it wants you to have openSLL in a certain level
relative to the lanmessenger project .
We didnt move the folder from c:\openSSL
but added this to the .pro file.

win32: LIBS += -LC:/OpenSSL/lib/ -llibeay32
INCLUDEPATH += "C:/OpenSSL/include"
DEPENDPATH += += "C:/OpenSSL/include"

and used the mingw 32 bit compiler.
The mentioned openSSL ("Win32 OpenSSL v1.0.2q") from
http://www.slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html
worked without compiling.
But its 32 bit only.
Qt version was 5.12
