hostapd compile error

  • 772

while trying to build hostapt I get the following error.

make
../src/crypto/tls_openssl.c:17:25: fatal error: openssl/ssl.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make: *** [../src/crypto/tls_openssl.o] Error 1

I am trying to create a infrastructure mode hotspot with Ubuntu 13.04 without using router, mainly for my android phone.

I am using this guide.

  1. This solution came from the comments of the above post. (The reason I am writing a solution instead of a comment is I do not have the reputation currently to write a comment and I wanted to let people know that this worked for me).

    I installed libssl-dev using:

    sudo apt-get install libssl-dev

    Then I ran 

    make clean

    Then

    make

    After this it worked for me. Thank you to above commenters for clearing that up.
