Thanks. I set OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR and got new behaviour from cmake-gui.
Same error, but the key disappears after I press configure. On closer
inspection then the key is there if I check 'Advanced' view. Any more
ideas? Or is there a command line only log then somebody can post
showing what a successful build looks like. I would also be interested
in not having to use cmake-gui for eventual ease of automation. Is
there an alternative mechanism?

Thanks,
Simon
