dovecot - Nov 2019 - dovecot -2.2.24 on Fedora 31

Hi,

I try to compile dovecot -2.2.24 on Fedora 31 and get the following error:

iostream-openssl.c: In function ?openssl_iostream_verify_client_cert?:
iostream-openssl.c:118:37: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
?X509_STORE_CTX? {aka ?struct x509_store_ctx_st?}
  118 |  subject = X509_get_subject_name(ctx->current_cert);
      |                                     ^~
make[3]: *** [Makefile:561: iostream-openssl.lo] Error 1

All openssl packages installed. What's the reason and how solve the problem?

Kind regards, 
Frank Elsner

Is there some reason you want to use ancient dovecot? You should use 2.2.36 at
least.

Migration from 32bit to 64bit. I want to avoid problems, so I used the version I
have
compiled and used on the 32bit system.

I got dovecot-2.2.36.4 compiled but at start the log shows

dovecot[342614]: master: Dovecot v2.2.36.4 (baf9232c1) starting up for imap
dovecot[342617]: ssl-params: Generating SSL parameters
dovecot[342614]: master: Error: service(auth): command startup failed,
throttling for 2 secs
dovecot[342617]: auth: Fatal: master: service(auth): child 342623 killed with
signal 11 (core dumped)
dovecot[342614]: master: Error: service(auth): command startup failed,
throttling for 4 secs

The configuration files are from dovecot-2.2.24 whre they worked perfect.

What to do to get it working?
conf.d
PS: I can provide dovecot.conf and conf.d/10-auth.conf if necessary.
