Do you have the exact error message?

Right, but for OpenSSL support, we generally want it to be enabled
automatically when the OpenSSL package is selected. The current
implementation is in fact a "feature", and the real fix is to
understand what build failure you're getting and make sure Qt5 can link
properly against OpenSSL.

Thanks!
