Answer 1

This is your problem:

make "DESTDIR="
compiling binder.cpp
In file included from binder.cpp:20:0:
project.h:29:20: fatal error: iostream: No such file or directory
#include <iostream>

What's occurring is that the compiler cannot find project.h's include iostream. You could play around with installing it manually, link provided below.

Another potential quick fix is to install it manually and see if adding the header extension will solve your issue.

#include <iostream.h>

Answer 2

If you are using Mac OSX el captain, openssl headers are not installed by default therefore try installing openssl. If openssl is already installed try to relink using following command

brew link openssl --force
