luarocks install lapis did not see installed openssl

[milen-prg]

Please see here: msys2/MINGW-packages#17041 (comment)
I thought that the problem was with MSYS, but not:

I'm on Windows 10 Pro 64 bit, MSYS2/MINGW64,

I try to install there lua rocks:

luaossl
luacrypto
lapis

The lua packages and mingw-w64-x86_64-openssl are installed, but luarock can't install any lua package with openssl requirements, for example:

mlap@DESKTOP-3SBJLHO MINGW64 ~
$ luarocks install --global luaossl CRYPTO_DIR=/mingw64/
Installing https://luarocks.org/luaossl-20220711-0.src.rock

Error: Could not find library file for CRYPTO

You may have to install CRYPTO in your system and/or pass CRYPTO_DIR or CRYPTO_LIBDIR to the luarock
s command.
Example: luarocks install luaossl CRYPTO_DIR=/usr/local

The REPLY from MSYS is:

"The project is trying to link with older openssl libraries. libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll was replaced with libcrypto*.dll and libssl*.dll. The issue is not related to luarocks or lua project."

SO, is it possible to use lapis (and all Lua openssl bindings) with new versions of openssl?

I know it's an old issue but I want to share some info.

I had the same problem yesterday and tried everything but nothing seemed to work. I even tried compiling OpenSSL source and passing every include folder I could find (based on other issues) and still nothing. I don't know about C stuff, but I think there's something that conflicts with Windows.

So today I decided to try it on WSL (v1; Ubuntu 22.04) with package libssl-dev installed and it worked fine. After spending many hours trying to make it work, I would like to share this little information for anyone who is tired like me trying to do something.

@knownasbot , most of these problems are exactly because they are developed for linux and nobody supports them for windows.

假设你的OpenSSL路径为“E:\SDK\OpenSSL-Win64”，那么你需要执行下面的操作。
1.创建E:\SDK\OpenSSL-Win64\lib\libeay32.dll的副本，并重命名为libcrypto.dll。
2.创建E:\SDK\OpenSSL-Win64\lib\libssl.dll的副本，名重命名为ssleay32.dll。
3.执行luarocks命令 luarocks install luaossl CRYPTO_DIR=E:\SDK\OpenSSL-Win64 OPENSSL_DIR=E:\SDK\OpenSSL-Win64 --lua-version=5.1。
4.大功告成。

Unsure if this will help on Windows, but when I install Lapis inside of Docker containers, I use the following format:

ARG OPENSSL_DIR="/usr/local/openresty/openssl"
RUN luarocks install lapis \
  CRYPTO_DIR=${OPENSSL_DIR} \
  CRYPTO_INCDIR=${OPENSSL_DIR}/include \
  OPENSSL_DIR=${OPENSSL_DIR} \
  OPENSSL_INCDIR=${OPENSSL_DIR}/include
