Hi there,

i try to install dovecot from source with the following configuration:

> ./configure --prefix=/test/core/dovecot --with-ssldir=/test/core/dovecot/tls

the configuration runs fine with the following output at the end:

> Install prefix . : /test/core/dovecot
> File offsets ... : 64bit
> I/O polling .... : epoll
> I/O notifys .... : inotify
> SSL ............ : yes (OpenSSL)

But when i start to build (make) after a while i get the following error:

> *** Warning: Linking the executable test-iostream-ssl against the loadable module

I've searched for the error and find some posts about set explicitly CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS
and something about missing shared libraries of openssl.

My openssl have shared libraries (libcrypto.so libssl.so ...) and the explicit use of CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS to my openssl hasn't changed anything

I use Openssl 3.0 but i've tested also 1.1.1m and 1.1.1g for example, same error!
Dovecot is the latest 2.3.17.1

Can anyone help me with this please?
Thanks!
