I have been battling with this problem all day. i have read a lot of articles on this issue but no one seems to be talking about windows OS.
I am working on an encryption algorithm written in c that has a lot to do with openssl library. I am using MinGW 32bit as as my compiler version 6.3. since my application relies strongly on openssl i installed openssl-32bit, added a custom includepath in visual studio code in c_cpp_properties.json file to see the openssl path to call header files.
i also installed openssl for MinGW. Finally i copied the include folder and inserted it directly in source folder.
All the methods i have tried still leaves me with the error openssl\evp.h: No such file or directory
The current path to openssl on my system is C:\openssl-path\includeIn MinGW directory it is installed in C:\MinGW\openssl-path\includein my source directory it is in src\openssl
the MinGW is in 32bit version
What am I doing wrong?
