“openssl/ssl.h: No such file or directory” during Installation of Git

Question

Trying to install git on the Unix and Linux machines based on the instructions on Installing Git blog, and it is failing with the below error

make prefix=/u         


        

Answer 1

The following fixed compiling python 3.8.1 with ssl

   locate ssl.h
    /usr/include/openssl/ssl.h

   $ pwd
    /var/opt/python381/Python-3.8.1
    $ ln -s /usr/include/openssl

Result

./configure

checking whether compiling and linking against OpenSSL works... yes
checking for X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set1_host in libssl... yes
