OpenSSL
Status
Status 06 January 2023
Building normally with both clang-cl and VS.
It is now possible to use clang-cl as assembler which enhances performance of several crypto functions.
Downloads
Available LTS in OpenSSL 3.0 and later.
Clang-cl assembler support is available from OpenSSL 3.1
Environment
To build all versions you need Strawberry Perl.
To build the emulated version you will also need NASM.
Source Code

Packaged source from the OpenSSL website: /source/index.html (openssl.org)
Compiling (Native)
Configure with
perl Configure VC-WIN64-ARMCompile with
nmake
Compiling (Emulated)
Configure with
perl Configure VC-WIN64ACompile with
nmake
Compiling with clang-cl as assembler/compiler
Configure with
perl Configure VC-WIN64-CLANGASM-ARMfor clang-cl as just the assembler.Configure with
perl Configure VC-CLANG-WIN64-CLANGASM-ARMfor clang-cl as the assembler and compiler.Compile with
nmake
Installing
To have two different easily accessible binaries install with
nmake install DESTDIR=...
Benchmarking
Run a fast benchmarking suite with
openssl.exe speed rsa4096There are several different algorithms/number of bits you can try like
aesorrsa512.You can also run without extra arguments for the full benchmark suite, it takes a considerable amount of time.

I have compiled by setting
set(OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR "PATH/TO/openssl")
set(OPENSSL_LIBRARIES "PATH/TO//openssl")
set(OPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR "PATH/TO/openssl/include")including full lists of issues in case it gives more info:

I have compiled per your instructions (compile natively) and it worked fine.
