Description
Is it possible to build ffmpeg with SSL support (--enable-openssl) on WSL?
I have tried to install openssl using these commands
sudo apt-get install openssl
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
Modified configure to include --enable-openssl option, but it always gives the error "Error: openssl not found"
Is it possible or I need to build openssl on windows system?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported configure failure in WSL after the issue's openssl and libssl-dev installation commands, using the stated --enable-openssl option. Review the configure output to determine whether SSL-enabled builds are supported in this environment; done means documenting a working build path or clearly recording the limitation.
