The OpenSSL team moved the 64-bit builds to lib64 as of 3.0.x. This is very likely to be retained in 3.1.x. I am working on a change that moves the runnable parts of OpenSSL 64-bit to /bin64. The 32-bit builds are still in /lib and /bin. My team hit this issue when first trying to build git and curl with 3.0.1. We control where we pick up libraries on the make command line using the CFLAGS and LDFLAGS variables so the internal git makefile does not need to know where the libraries are. This also avoids needing symlinks that can cause DLL conflicts between 32 and 64 models. Regards, Randall
