The example is wrong.

The KDF API changed recently to better match the way the rest of the project is moving.
I’ll update the example.

I clone openssl git repo and executed these commands as mentioned in the file "INSTALL": "./config", "make", "make test", "make install". It went alright. Then I tried an "EVP KEY Derivation" example from this link: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php?title=EVP_Key_Derivation&redirect=no#targetText=HKDF%20was%20designed%20by%20Krawczyk,from%20the%20OpenSSL%20man%20pages <https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php?title=EVP_Key_Derivation&redirect=no#targetText=HKDF%20was%20designed%20by%20Krawczyk,from%20the%20OpenSSL%20man%20pages>. But it gives me some error for undeclared function.
