BUG #15789: libpq compilation with OpenSSL 1.1.1b fails on Windows with Visual Studio 2017 - Mailing list pgsql-bugs

The following bug has been logged on the website:

Bug reference:      15789
Logged by:          Sergey Pashkov
Email address:      serpashk@gmail.com
PostgreSQL version: 11.2
Operating system:   Windows 10
Description:

libssh2 and libpq are used in the same product.
It is necessary to use OpenSSL 1.1.1b as it includes EdDSA support required
for libssh2.

Here are parts of our build scripts.

1. Building OpenSSL:
perl Configure VC-WIN64A no-shared no-asm enable-ssl3 enable-ssl3-method
nmake

2. Building libpq:
XCOPY /s /i "%OPENSSL_SRCS%" "%OPENSSL_PATH%"
MKDIR "%OPENSSL_PATH%\lib"
COPY "%THIRD_LIBS%\libssl_64.lib" "%OPENSSL_PATH%\lib\ssleay32.lib"
COPY "%THIRD_LIBS%\libcrypto_64.lib" "%OPENSSL_PATH%\lib\libeay32.lib"

perl mkvcbuild.pl
COPY config_default.pl config.pl
sed -i "s/openssl   => undef/openssl   => \"%OPENSSL_PATH_ESC%\"/g"
config.pl
perl mkvcbuild.pl
msbuild pgsql.sln /t:interfaces\libpq /p:Configuration="Release" /m

The following errors are encountered:

Headers of the recent OpenSSL versions don't include bio_st definition, as
it was in 1.0.2.

If I manually define the following macros in pg_config.h:

HAVE_BIO_GET_DATA
HAVE_BIO_METH_NEW 

- compilation passes but SSL connection cannot be established anyway.

This question was raised in the following thread:

https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/CAAw-Mseg9JYpp%3DA%3D51HR3rKiQtbvT0MWw%2BaYFwNeJEbdNr%3DCDA%40mail.gmail.com

No solution was proposed.

Thank you!
