ACE: Complier Errors building ACE SSL Project Against Openssl 3.0.1

[Johnny Willemsen]

Hi,

Thanks for using the PRF form. The 6.2.8 release is ancient, there have 
been a lot of changes after that release. OpenSSL 3 is pretty new, I 
haven't seen any specific changes for it in the TAO repository and I 
haven't tried it my self.

I would recommend to first try the most recent release (see 
https://github.com/DOCGroup/ACE_TAO/releases). That way you get all 
changes made the last years, including OpenDDS 1.1 support. Maybe that 
resolves the issue, but not sure.

Best regards,
