Description
Hey there,
I tried to compile OpenVPN 2.4 branch from tarball on Ubuntu Jammy but ran into build errors.
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../.. -I../../include -I../../include -I../../src/compat -DPLUGIN_LIBDIR=\"/usr/local/lib/openvpn/plugins\" -Wall -Wno-unused-parameter -Wno-unused-function -g -O2 -std=c99 -MT fdmisc.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/fdmisc.Tpo -c -o fdmisc.o fdmisc.c mv -f .deps/comp-lz4.Tpo .deps/comp-lz4.Po In file included from crypto_openssl.h:32, from crypto_backend.h:33, from crypto.h:128, from crypto_openssl.c:42: openssl_compat.h:281:1: error: static declaration of ‘EVP_PKEY_get_id’ follows non-static declaration 281 | EVP_PKEY_id(const EVP_PKEY *pkey) | ^~~~~~~~~~~ /usr/include/openssl/evp.h:1306:5: note: previous declaration of ‘EVP_PKEY_get_id’ with type ‘int(const EVP_PKEY *)’ {aka ‘int(const struct evp_pkey_st *)’} 1306 | int EVP_PKEY_get_id(const EVP_PKEY *pkey); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In file included from crypto_openssl.c:44: openssl_compat.h: In function ‘EVP_PKEY_get_id’: openssl_compat.h:283:23: error: invalid use of incomplete typedef ‘EVP_PKEY’ {aka ‘const struct evp_pkey_st’} 283 | return pkey ? pkey->type : EVP_PKEY_NONE; | ^~
Full configure and make log:

All dependencies were installed via apt.
The building was performed withing an LXC container.
I did not select Milestone or Version since I could not find the proper ones.
I selected "minor" for priority since branch is oldstable and Ubuntu ships their own packages made from stable branch.
Please let me know if I missed something.

Yeah, what Selva said. Use 2.5.7.
2.4.x is very old, and should not be used for new deployments - 2.4.12 is, technically, "a new release" but that's just maintenance, bugfixes for old code base.
Closing this ticket, as OpenSSL 3 support will not be added to 2.4
Looks like you are building against OpenSSL 3 which is not supported in OpenVPN 2.4 branch. Either install OpenSSL 1.1.1 and build against it by specifying OPENSSL_CFLAGS and OPENSSL_LIBS to configure, or use the latest 2.5 release.
