You do not need to build the library unless you want to customize it. If you do compile it, it can be used with other compilers. I use the downloaded version with Borland C++Builder 5 and 6, though it was originally built with VC++, and it works fine.

From: owner-openssl-us...@openssl.org [mailto:owner-openssl-us...@openssl.org] On Behalf Of hpenaguz...@aim.com Sent: Friday, December 17, 2010 6:59 PM To: openssl-users@openssl.org Subject: Building OpenSSL vs Downloaded Have two questions: 1) Is it mandatory to build the OpenSSL library in order to use the functionality provided by OpenSSL?, or is it possible to use it with the OpenSSL-Win32 library I downloaded. 2) If I build the OpenSSL library with one compiler is it possible to use with another compiler?, for instance I'm have Borland ver. 5 and 6 but can get one program compiled using OpenSSL programs and libraries, besides it doesn't work with <string> so I had to start doing some of the programing in QT. Is this possible? Thanks in advance!
