Hello,

I would just like to thank Richard Levitte and Viktor for their help as I was 
finally able to figure it out. In case anyone else would like this same process 
I have included some general documentation below:

1) git clone openssl project
2) edit util/mkdef.pl<http://util/mkdef.pl> for  header 
file (header file must be extern and have (void) in function declaration if no 
arguments are being passed)
3) edit Configure (line 313ish) and add in crypto function amongst others
4) create build.info<http://build.info/> under /crypto/mycipher/ (follow other 
crypto build.info<http://build.info>’s to create)
5) ./config
6) make update
7) make -j 

Rob

On way is to, as already mentioned, edit util/libcrypto.num.  The
other is to edit util/mkdef.pl and then run 'make update'.  In
mkdef.pl, you'll find a bunch of lines like this:

$crypto.="include/openssl/whatever.h"

Simply add a line like that for mycipher.h.

(note: mkdef.pl might be a bit picky sometimes)

Cheers,
Richard

Edit util/libcrypto.num and/or util/libssl.num, only the symbols listed there
are exported by the library shared objects.
