Solution

In addition to linking the Paho MQTT libraries, you also need to link OpenSSL, i.e. the ssl and crypto libraries. You can link them, for example using

CMakeLists.txt

target_link_libraries(myexecutable ssl crypto)

target_link_libraries(myexecutable ssl crypto)

in CMake or by adding these linker flags for GCC:

gcc_link_flags.sh

-lssl -lcrypto

-lssl -lcrypto
