Add --enable-openssl to the ./configure line.

The --with-openssl does not work presently.

This is my whole line:

$ ./configure --prefix="$HOME/scr1/ffmpeg_build" --extra-cflags="-   
I$HOME/scr1/ffmpeg_build/include" --extra-ldflags="-
L$HOME/scr1/ffmpeg_build/lib" --bindir="$HOME/scr1/bin" --pkg-config-
flags="--static" --enable-gpl --enable-nonfree --enable-libfdk-aac --
enable-libfreetype --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libopus --enable-
libvorbis --enable-libvpx --enable-libx264 --enable-libx265 --enable-openssl
