I have RedHat Enterprise Linux Server 7, and I downloaded the linux kernel version 4.12.10 which I am trying to compile but when I execute the following command:

make modules
I get the following error: 
scripts/sign-file.c:25:30: fatal error: openssl/opensslv.h: No such file or directory
Does anyone have an idea to fix this please ?
                OpenSSL is not used in kernel modules that I am aware. The kernel provides its own crypto, and some of the OpenSSL team contributes to it like Andy Polyakov. Its odd to see OpenSSL in the message above. I guess its some helper program or something to bootstrap things. Its definitely not the kernel proper.

To fix this problem, you have to install OpenSSL development package, which is available in standard repositories of all modern Linux distributions.
To install OpenSSL development package on Debian, Ubuntu or their derivatives:
$ sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
To install OpenSSL development package on Fedora, CentOS or RHEL:
$ sudo yum install openssl-devel 
Edit :
As @isapir has pointed out, for Fedora version>=22 use the DNF package manager :
dnf install openssl-devel
                I have install libssl-dev in ubuntu 22.04, but this error persist, is possible that openssl v3.0.2 dont include this header?

                After facing up a lot of make errors from the official depository, it seems that cygwin packages works well with cygwin compilers ^^
