If you can use pkg-config  pkg search module   can find OpenSSL for you     Search OpenSSL find package PkgConfig REQUIRED  pkg search module OPENSSL REQUIRED openssl   if  OPENSSL FOUND       include directories   OPENSSL INCLUDE DIRS       message STATUS  Using OpenSSL   OPENSSL VERSION    else         Error  with REQUIRED  pkg search module   will throw an error by it s own endif    target link libraries   YOUR TARGET HERE    OPENSSL LIBRARIES

Morwenn is right  You need to config the openssl DIR  Before that you may need to make sure you have it  you should check whether you have it  first run openssl version then if you have it you can win   r run openssl and you win find the core dir since it may not name as openssl in your system

Just in case   this works for me  Sorry for specific version of OpenSSL  but might be desirable    On macOS  search Homebrew for keg-only versions of OpenSSL   equivalent of   -DOPENSSL ROOT DIR  usr local opt openssl  -DOPENSSL CRYPTO LIBRARY  usr local opt openssl lib  if  CMAKE HOST SYSTEM NAME MATCHES  quot Darwin quot       execute process          COMMAND brew --prefix OpenSSL          RESULT VARIABLE BREW OPENSSL         OUTPUT VARIABLE BREW OPENSSL PREFIX         OUTPUT STRIP TRAILING WHITESPACE           if  BREW OPENSSL EQUAL 0 AND EXISTS  quot   BREW OPENSSL PREFIX  quot           message STATUS  quot Found OpenSSL keg installed by Homebrew at   BREW OPENSSL PREFIX  quot           set OPENSSL ROOT DIR  quot   BREW OPENSSL PREFIX   quot           set OPENSSL INCLUDE DIR  quot   BREW OPENSSL PREFIX  include quot           set OPENSSL LIBRARIES  quot   BREW OPENSSL PREFIX  lib quot           set OPENSSL CRYPTO LIBRARY  quot   BREW OPENSSL PREFIX  lib libcrypto dylib quot       endif   endif         find package OpenSSL REQUIRED  if  OPENSSL FOUND      Add the include directories for compiling   target include directories   TARGET SERVER  PUBLIC   OPENSSL INCLUDE DIR       Add the static lib for linking   target link libraries   TARGET SERVER  OpenSSL  SSL OpenSSL  Crypto    message STATUS  quot Found OpenSSL   OPENSSL VERSION  quot   else     message STATUS  quot OpenSSL Not Found quot   endif
