Help: cannot open input file 'libssl.lib'

[Budyanto Dj.]

Hello Harbour Users,

1) I downloaded the latest source of Harbour and build it using MSVC 2017.

2) For the most part, the build process was good. However in contrib/hbssl there is these errors: (shown in red below)

...

hbmk2[hbssl]: Exit status: 7: failed in final assembly (linker or library manager)

3) Attempting to solve the error by downloading OpenSSL ver 3_6_1.
Some more *.lib created, but the error persists:

Please advise how to solve this problem.
(I tried to search this group, but failed to find one.)
