Huh? I'm confused as to what you are doing or have done. You don't need to compile OpenSSL if you use those binaries (it sounds like you have downloaded and installed/extracted both OpenSSL source AND Win32 OpenSSL binaries - you only need one or the other). Could you show what command-line(s) you have tried using, directory locations, example code you've tried, etc.? MinGW is a weird beast - the MinGW command-line to use those pre-built OpenSSL binaries is different from what you probably expect (try adding -llibeay32.lib -lssleay32.lib to your compiler options instead of the -leay -lssl options you see in various examples around the Internet - and don't expect MinGW to be magical). BTW, if you don't have a compiler preference, Microsoft's C++ compiler from Visual Studio .NET 2003 (Professional) is free: http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/vctoolkit2003/ Win32 OpenSSL is built with VSP's Visual C++ 6 SP5 - so it could be advantageous to use a similar compiler. Just a thought and not required, but getting it to work under one compiler sometimes helps to get it working under another. Since this is a Win32 OpenSSL-specific discussion, it might be better to take the discussion off-list. This list is OpenSSL-specific and you are discussing details of the Win32 OpenSSL default-build binaries. Once you are up and running with the Win32 binaries, then this list becomes handy for the programming end of things. Thomas J.
