Yeah, I was having a terrible time getting everything to compile. I was able to wrestle through a lot of it, but it simply wouldn't finished compiling. So I searched for others having similar troubles and came across http://www.silverex.org/compiling/. I realize that the page says EXACTLY what INSTALL.W32 says (somewhat briefer), but reading it in their format helped bring the whole picture together for me. I didn't catch on to the VC++ Command Line environment until that point also, which solved all my troubles. The instructions detailing "You can also build a static version of the library using the Makefile: ms\nt.mak" from INSTALL.W32 are a little buried in other text, so I missed that part until looking through it to answer your (Jeremy) question. It's all there in INSTALL.W32 -- it took me a little longer to choose and properly use the appropriate build environment. -Jed Mitten- On Feb 1, 2008 1:21 PM, Jeremy Farrell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > From: Jed Mitten > > Sent: Friday, February 01, 2008 4:00 PM > > > > I am trying to statically link into libeay32.lib so that I can > > distribute my application as a single executable instead of packaging > > DLLs along with it.
