for what it's worth, you may be able to use vpnc[0] or StrongSwan[1] as
an IPSec client. this may be even recommended, as Shrew Soft hasn't
released an update for 5 years.

that being said, the dependencies for the PKGBUILD should be changed to
use openssl-1.0[2] instead of openssl.

you may need to further update the cmake line (or patch the
CMakeLists.txt) to point explicitly to the proper openSSL path (for
openssl-1.0 instead of the default-provided v1.1.x), but i'm not as
familiar with cmake to recommend how to do this.

honestly, i'd recommend just moving away from Shrew Soft if possible and
instead use something that is actively maintained. I strongly recommend
StrongSwan.
