Ciao.
I haven't had a chance to compile the exact OpenSSL version using g++ compiler as stated by the user/poster.
If this user is using a modified or altered version of OpenSSL provided source code, is there support available? Don't get me wrong, I don't mind helping out but .....
I'll try to compile OpenSSL source code this evening and I'll post my findings here.
Regards.
Sergio.

When it is used from our product code and while compiling using C++ compiler, the issue is seen.
As I wrote previously, the error you posted was caused by the fact that you are compiling Ansi C (a.k.a ISO/IEC 9899:1990, a.k.a C90) source code using a C++ compiler. While C permits a cast from ‘void *’ to ‘anytype *’, C++ doesn’t allow it without an explicit cast.
Only the *public* OpenSSL headers are guaranteed to be includable by a C++ compiler (they contain the necessary ` extern “C” ` blocks, etc.), not the internal headers. Including *internal* headers is neither supported nor possible with a C++ compiler. And as Matt Caswell already told you, there are no compatibility guarantees for those headers.
