Description
Hi, i've tried to build the package hopenssl, including the test suite in windows. The steps i've followed were:
- download openssl libs from https://sourceforge.net/projects/openssl/files/openssl-1.0.2j-fips-x86_64/
- setting appropiate cabal global config options:
extra-include-dirs: X:\path\to\OpenSSL-x86_64\include
extra-lib-dirs: X:\path\to\OpenSSL-x86_64\lib
- Download the lib with
cabal get hopenssl-2.2.2 - executing
cabal new-build --enable-tests -v3
At first the build failed linking one of the executables tests:

cabal: Failed to build test:check-high-level-digest-api from hopenssl-2.2.2.
Failed to build test:check-low-level-digest-api from hopenssl-2.2.2.
Then i tested to add the z lib in the extra-libraries section of the cabal file and it worked, without pointing to zlib location explicitly (full log).
However it seems the package shouldn't add the lib, cause it is a specific issue of the concrete openssl lib implementation used in this case.
So i thought the solution could be to add the -lz option cause in the succesful case i detected it was being passed to hsc2hs and gcc (but no to ghc, at least explicitly). However i had not luck passing -lz in --gcc-options, --ghc-options, --ld-options, etc. (full log of cabal new-build --enable-tests --gcc-options=-lz)
Note: The build of hackage2nix executable of cabal2nix package fails with the same error. That is my primary goal (see NixOS/cabal2nix#389)
Thanks in advance!
