Hi Randy, I replied to your early post about this about ten days ago, but I did it via email (instead of a post using the Google Groups website) and the subject of the thread was changed, so you may have missed it. I'm pasting my reply below in case it's still useful for you.
------------------------------------- The cryptlib*.lib *file is the static library, and you create it yourself using the crypto++ source code. Then you statically link your own code against this library in order to use the crypto++ features (of course, the other option is to use the DLL). This tutorial, although oudated, it's very complete: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/16388/Compiling-and-Integrating-Crypto-into-the-Microsof See some discussion about v 5.6.1 at the end of it. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6619042/how-do-i-install-crypto-in-visual-studio-2010-windows-7 Also, the Crypto++ wiki contains many examples. Hope this helps. Walt. On Sunday, July 8, 2012 9:58:55 PM UTC-7, Randy wrote: > > Thanks. After much googling, I finally understand the process.
