Shared means to configure as shared libraries. From: Aneeq Abid <aneeqa...@gmail.com> Sent: Thursday, October 15, 2020 12:36 PM To: Floodeenjr, Thomas <thomas_floodee...@mentor.com> Cc: openssl-users@openssl.org Subject: Re: OpenSSL Config Error
Dear Thomas, I tried different parameters and have found out that the error occurs only when the option "shared" is used in the command. It works fine for all others. Can you please explain to me what is the purpose of the shared parameter? And is it okay if I configure openssl without it?
