Describe the bug
/usr/bin/ld: undefined reference to symbol `X509_getm_notAfter' (try adding -lcrypto)

I saw #3643 and expect that the answer is "we do not explicitly support LibreSSL, perhaps open a bug there," that's fine, please feel free to close this and I will do so. Following @davidebeatrici comment, I've attached the compiler error message below.

Steps to Reproduce

portmaster audio/murmur

(with SSL provided by libressl-3.2.3)

Expected behavior
finished install for ports

Desktop (please complete the following information):
FreeBSD 11.3-RELEASE-p8 #0 r360490
libressl-3.2.3
murmur 1.3.3_1

@Krzmbrzl commented on GitHub (Jan 30, 2021):

We don't support LibreSSL and even if we wanted to, Qt does not.

Furthermore an interesting read regarding this topic seems to be https://www.gentoo.org/support/news-items/2021-01-05-libressl-support-discontinued.html where Gentoo announced that they will drop LibreSSL support since it's a PITA to maintain and also the advantages of LibreSSL over OpenSSL have diminished in the last years (at least that's what the article says).

Given that Qt explicitly does not support LibreSSL, I don't think it makes sense for us to try and do so.

We might re-evaluate the issue once we have moved to a Qt-independent backend but until then I don't think this would lead to anything.
So for the time being, I think you should indeed report it to LibreSSL upstream.
