Thanks for sharing.

In my case I needed to be more explicit as it couldn't find ssl libs.

./bootstrap -- -DCMAKE_USE_OPENSSL=ON \
        -DOPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/usr \
        -DOPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/include \
        -DOPENSSL_CRYPTO_LIBRARY=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so \
        -DOPENSSL_SSL_LIBRARY=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so
