'openssl/conf.h' file not found error on MacOS Sierra

Question

I am working on a C++ project which uses boost asio. Trying to build the libraries that use Asia, I am getting the following error

/usr/local/include/boost/         


        

Answer 1

Linked or not, all installed Homebrew packages are reachable via link in /usr/local/opt. Additionally, when you install openssl via Homebrew, Homebrew tells you how to use the openssl libraries and headers.

==> Caveats
A CA file has been bootstrapped using certificates from the SystemRoots
keychain. To add additional certificates (e.g. the certificates added in
the System keychain), place .pem files in
  /usr/local/etc/openssl/certs

and run
  /usr/local/opt/openssl/bin/c_rehash

This formula is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /usr/local.

Apple has deprecated use of OpenSSL in favor of its own TLS and crypto libraries

If you need to have this software first in your PATH run:
  echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/openssl/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc

For compilers to find this software you may need to set:
    LDFLAGS:  -L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib
    CPPFLAGS: -I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include
For pkg-config to find this software you may need to set:
    PKG_CONFIG_PATH: /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/pkgconfig
