If you mean your client program, opensslconf.h is among the .h files copied to the installed include directory, so you can #include it if you want. But your program shouldn't need to do anything different *in OpenSSL calls* depending on platform. (If your program makes platform-dependent calls directly, that's your own concern.) I suppose you might do some things differently (or not at all) if your OpenSSL was built with or without certain cipher or protocol features. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
