*** dependency 'OpenSSL' not found; install it or point OPENSSL_BASE to base path. Stop.

Make is failing on my Kali Linux box. I've git cloned SSLsplit.

uname -a
Linux kali 4.4.50-v7+ #1 SMP Wed Aug 30 11:08:41 CDT 2017 armv7l GNU/Linux

root@kali:~/sslsplit# which openssl
/usr/bin/openssl

root@kali:~/sslsplit# make
GNUmakefile:250: *** dependency 'OpenSSL' not found; install it or point OPENSSL_BASE to base path. Stop.

I tried putting a symbolic link for openssl in /usr/local/ but I still get the same error.

I'm terrible at dealing with GNUmake errors- so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

It is looking for the OpenSSL library and headers, not the openssl executable. You may need to install developer versions of the OpenSSL library.
Closing this issue as this seems to be not an actual issue in sslsplit.
