Description Scott Petrovic 2019-03-13 16:18:25 UTC 
There was a recent commit that added an ext_openssl library to the build process. This is required by Qt now since it links to it. I am trying to just build the OpenSSL library. There is an error which is stopping it from succeeding.

When running the command to build it:
cmake --build . --config RelWithDebInfo --target ext_openssl

The download is fine, but when openSSL tries to configure, I get a pop-up menu with an error. It says...

*Unsupported 16-bit application*
The file: ext_openssl\ext_openssl-prefix\src\ext_openssl\config.com

The dialog says it is incompatible with 64-bit versions of Windows and cannot be ran.

We either need to try to get the library to run on windows, or exclude OpenSSL on the Qt build for windows

I am closing this ticket. Windragon removed the OpenSSL stuff for the Qt build, so this isn't any issue.
