Thank you for your answer.
So I'm on my own :)
I don't need to build the engines bundled with openssl as shared library.
I 'just' need support for loading dynamic engines to get my own engine working
I don't if you read all the thread
right know i have to trick to get my engine compiled properly but i'm not sure
about it's working with the openssl program
because if I can't use 'shared', 'no-shared' is used and
OPENSSL_NO_DYNAMIC_ENGINE is defined then.
Also why openssl prints '(dynamic) Dynamic engine loading support' (openssl.exe
engine) when there is no support for it.
I hope you understand what I mean.
I'm trying to get Openssl build with MSVC and support for dynamic engines.
