RSA_SSLV23_PADDING deprecated in openssl 3

[silverhikari]

with the release of the openssl 3.x line of packages "RSA_SSLV23_PADDING" is no longer supported, and this will cause problems with the perform.c function "perform_encryption". i have tried to alter the make file to use a version of openssl-1.1 that is installed in its own folder called "openssl-1.1" but that did not work as it keeps trying to load the v3 files. how would i tell the make to look for that specific version of the openssl or what would i need to change in the .c file to get this to work with v3?

gcc: 12.2.1
