Building fails on opensuse Tumbleweed.

[baskinsy]

Hi, I'm getting the following error when trying to build the wallet on an opensuse Tumbleweed system. I don't think I'm missing a dependency maybe it is due to newer libraries versions on my system (rolling distro)

  CXX      libbitcoin_server_a-chain.o
In file included from chain.cpp:9:0:
bignum.h:64:24: error: invalid use of incomplete type ‘BIGNUM {aka struct bignum_st}’

Any hints?

What version of OpenSSL is being used?

[baskinsy]

Yep probably the issue is there because my distro is using this:

openssl version
OpenSSL 1.1.0g-fips  2 Nov 2017
