In some cases, including MSVC++ TTBOMK, you can get the compiler to tell the linker for you; other cases you must do it yourself. For the C standard-library in MSVC++ (LIBC* or MSVCR*) the compiler actually hides this in the .obj file(s) and you don't see it. Since your compiler (cl) seemingly found the openssl includes, you apparently have INCLUDEPATH set correctly. If you also have LIBPATH set correctly, putting the bare library name(s) on the cl command line (after the name of all C source files to be compiled and any separate object files to be linked) should be enough. For a Windows build of OpenSSL the library names are canonically ssleay32.lib and libeay32.lib; for the routines referenced by this program you only need libeay. For a program using only SSL_* routines if dynamically linked you need only ssleay32.lib; for dynamic linking the .lib is only an "import" library that causes the real library in the .dll to be loaded at runtime, when both .dll's must be in the DLL search order, which once upon a time was just dot and PATH, but MS has been changing it as a result of various dll-planting attacks and I am not confident what it is now except that almost certainly %windir%\system32 still works (changing that would break far too much. For static linking of SSL_* you need ssleay and libeay in that order. PS- I assume you know openssl commandline already provides a good deal of cert-signing functionality in the 'ca', 'x509', and 'req' utilities. If one of these does what you want, you don't need to write your own program, unless you want to. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
