'cmake --install'/'make install'/'ninja install' doesn't install dependencies

I would use a `toolchain` for `cross compiling`.

An for the unix host build, it would be really simple like here in my example:

ClausKlein/openssl-cmake/blob/master/CMakeLists.txt

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.25...3.31)

project(OpenSSL_ExternalProject LANGUAGES C)

if(NOT CMAKE_C_STANDARD)
    set(CMAKE_C_STANDARD 17)
endif()

set(OPENSSL_INSTALL_PREFIX /tmp/local)
set(CMAKE_SKIP_TEST_ALL_DEPENDENCY NO)
enable_testing()

include(openssl.cmake)

# Optionally, add OpenSSL include and library directories for other targets
set(OPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR ${OPENSSL_INSTALL_PREFIX}/include)
if(LINUX)
    set(OPENSSL_LIB_DIR ${OPENSSL_INSTALL_PREFIX}/lib64)
else()
    set(OPENSSL_LIB_DIR ${OPENSSL_INSTALL_PREFIX}/lib)

small problems are caused by cmake:

What controls the use of lib64 as CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR?

But there are real problems with openssl itself:
