Dear Bob,
I can confirm that successfully configured and built 5.11.1 on Windows
for both 32 and 64 bit builds.
It was configured against opensssl-1.1.0h as a shared linking
and requires the dlls to be either placed to the same folder as exe
or to be in the PATH in run-time.

Nothing that I can tell about linux, but it seems that only openssl
1.1 is supposed
to be supported.

Take care.

Kind regards,
Robert
