Hello, I am running a Mageia 7.1 instance and trying to run appimage scripts. The first script is failing in configuring Qt 5.15. There are the things I have done

build ext_openssl, and Qt configuration step always fails with
ERROR: Feature 'openssl-linked' was enabled, but the pre-condition '!features.securetransport && !features.schannel && libs.openssl' failed.
I have tried other ways to provide the path but it always fails with this msg. How to pass the path correctly?
