same on

• ubuntu 20.04, linux 4.4.0, gcc 9.4.0, libssl-dev 1.1.1f-1ubuntu2.16 and 1.1.1f-1ubuntu2.13
• M1 macos 12.5, clang-1316.0.21.2.5, openssl (brew) 1.1.1s and 3.0.7
  As mentioned in Getting error when compiling on xubuntu #94 it seems that the problem is lib1.1 is too new (as this software seems to be last updated 2012).
  So I tried to download a old openssl version:

git clone https://github.com/samr7/vanitygen
cd vanitygen 
wget https://github.com/openssl/openssl/archive/refs/tags/OpenSSL_1_0_2u.tar.gz
tar xf OpenSSL_1_0_2u.tar.gz 
rm OpenSSL_1_0_2u.tar.gz 
cd openssl-OpenSSL_1_0_2u/
./configure --prefix=~/Documents/openssl1.0 
make 
make test 
make install 
cd .. 
CPATH=~/Documents/openssl1.0/include LIBRARY_PATH=~/Documents/openssl1.0/lib make 

but then I get new and different errors:

Eventually, I did this:

git clone https://github.com/10gic/vanitygen-plusplus 
cd vanitygen-plusplus 
make 
./vanitygen++ 1test

Tried vanitygen-plusplsu and get this...

@PRFinklemeister please submit an issue at https://github.com/10gic/vanitygen-plusplus/issues
Also, check if somebody else already had a similar problem and if not, include information about your system (e.g. the output of the commands: uname -a, lsb_release -a and gcc --version and include the exact commands on how to replicate the error which you encountered.
