I'd really like to get a CMake solution instead of doing some nasty decoration magic, because I do need this to work on some unix-like systems as well. > > > 2: The dynamic library's internal openssl functions should not be > > externally visible. > > Not sure if this is possible.

When I run the code, I get a dynamic library named dynlib out, and I can use it to link up an executable that uses the functions in there and it works fine, but I need to link in the openssl libraries as well. The executable doesn't link happily if it's not pointed to dynlib and the two static .lib openssl files. I've checked the legal and licensing issues, and it's ok for this situation. What I'm trying to do is make sure the openssl that my library uses is not going to conflict with anyone else's openssl already installed on the system. I don't want someone to link my library, and then call an openssl function and get the openssl I'm using. That's just in case they have a different one.
