Checking Installation on macOS
To locate OpenSSL on macOS, you can use the following methods:
Using Homebrew:
brew --prefix openssl

This command will show the installation prefix for OpenSSL if it was installed via Homebrew.
Locate OpenSSL:
which openssl

This command will show the path to the OpenSSL binary that is currently in your PATH.
Check Version:
openssl version -a

This will display detailed information about the OpenSSL version and its configuration.
Manual Search:
find /usr/local -name 'openssl*'

This command searches for directories and files related to OpenSSL within the /usr/local path.
Example Homebrew Setup
If you installed OpenSSL via Homebrew, you should see it in a directory like /usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1. Ensure your shell profile includes the correct environment variables:
export PATH="/usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1/bin:$PATH"
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1/include"

After updating your shell profile, reload it with:

source ~/.zshrc # or source ~/.bash_profile

By ensuring these steps, you should be able to locate and use your OpenSSL directories on macOS, similar to your experience on Windows.

followed above steps to install openssl from homebrew

Hi,

Which version of Qt are you trying to build ?
On which version of macOS ?
With which version of Xcode ?
Why do you need OpenSSL on macOS ?

Why do you need OpenSSL on macOS ?

Perhaps not OP's reason, but Apple stopped updating Secure Transport quite a while back. AFAIK, OpenSSL is the only option for TLS 1.3 via QSslSocket and friends on a mac.

Just tested:

OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/opt/homebrew/Cellar/openssl@3/3.3.2 /path_to_src/qt/qtbase/configure --openssl

and it worked.

Note that this is with a recent checkout of qtbase.
