liachen> Hi

liachen> It is from https://github.com/openssl/openssl.git, branch master and commit f66aad6.

Commit f66aad6 is this:

    commit f66aad60f249e90d16d585859b4dd62368ed7ccd
    Author: Ben Laurie <ben at links.org>
    Date:   Mon Oct 7 12:41:43 2013 +0100
    
        Constification.

That's quite old, I'd recommend a 'git pull --rebase'

liachen> It seems the openssl folder is created when running "./Configure dist", let me try with that.

In that commit, you should run './config', which will configure for
your platform (I think), and should create and populate
include/openssl

However, in more recent revisions of the master branch, public headers
have been moved into include/openssl, and the work to populate it by
Configure is no longer needed (you still should run ./config ).

Cheers,
Richard
