OpenSSL has not been required to build Bitcoin Core since #17265. What error are you seeing?

Maybe the build notes should mention that they are only valid for their own branch/commit and don't document how to compile older branches/commits?

Yes this would be helpful. There is no way to know this otherwise.

Before I installed OpenSSL, the build would fail with this error:

gmake[3] Leaving directory '/tmp/bitcoin/src/secp256k1 ld: error: undefined symbol: ChaCha20::Keystream(unsigned char*, unsigned long) >>> referenced by random.h.118(./random.h:118)

I think that should be implied. If you've checked out and want to build 0.19.x, you should be looking at the docs in the 0.19 branch.

I've just built master (5622d8f3156a293e61d0964c33d4b21d8c9fd5e0) and v0.19.0.1 on OpenBSD 6.6 the OpenSSL didn't need to be installed for either (pkg_info below). bitcoind is linked against libsodium.so.

If you are still having issues compiling after cleaning your build directory, and rebuilding, please open an issue with all the relevant information. I'm going to close this, as we aren't adding openssl to the required packages list.

apart from master no longer needing the OpenSSL API at all anymore, OpenSSL hasn't been required on OpenBSD for a long time, first they used LibreSSL and now sodium, apparently

use of the OpenBSD openssl port is discouraged, it even used to have some comment like

-CATEGORIES=    security net
+CATEGORIES=    security net games

:smile:
