It appears that there is a dependency on OpenSSL, but the version of OpenSSL you are using is incompatible. You are using OpenSSL 1.1.0 but you need to use OpenSSL 1.0.2


cause newer OpenSSL don't expose strcut EVP_CIPHER_CTX ,

try this

EVP_CIPHER_CTX *ctx = EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new();
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_init(ctx);
//do sth here
//...
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free(ctx);
