I used Craig's OpenSSL v0.97c precompiled binary placed in C:\OPENSSL as recommended and it was correctly detected by configure. On compiling the debug version of pwlib I find:- --------------------Configuration: pwtest - Win32 Debug-------------------- Compiling... precompile.cxx Compiling... main.cxx resources.cxx Generating Code... Linking... LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file "C:/openssl/out32.dbg/ssleay32.lib" Error executing link.exe. pwtest.exe - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s) In the case of the Release version of pwlib, I got the following warnings:- --------------------Configuration: pwtest - Win32 Release------------------ Linking...
