Use self-compiled OpenSSL to compile bitcoin on fedora 21

Right now I can build the bitcoin-qt and execute it but it immediately exits with this Error:

OpenSSL appears to lack support for elliptic curve cryptography. For more information, visit https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/OpenSSL_and_EC_Libraries

The website only links to some outdated rpms for fedora 19 but it is also mentioned one could "compile [their] own OpenSSL and use this".

I can download and compile OpenSSL but I never managed to tell bitcoin where OpenSSL is located.

What I tried yesterday: (instructions from https://opennet.hackpad.com/ep/pad/static/HqezreF8xmh )

But this failed with

libbitcoin_util.a(libbitcoin_util_a-random.o): In function `RandAddSeed()':
/tmp/test2/bitcoin/src/random.cpp:42: undefined reference to `RAND_add'

If you don't mind overwriting your current version of openssl, try to do an "update" to openssl:

./config --prefix=/usr --openssldir=/usr/local/openssl shared
make
make test
make install
