6.3 Required Link Libraries

To build an application that uses the Secure Sockets Package of the Secure Communication Module, you must link to:

6.3.1 Linking to OpenSSL for Static Applications

When building a static Secure Sockets Package application, you must link to the static version of the underlying cryptographic package.

For OpenSSL, link to libeay32.lib and ssleay32.lib on Windows, libcrypto.a and libssl.a on UNIX.

6.3.2 Linking to OpenSSL for Dynamic Applications

OpenSSL can be built as a dynamic library, so you link to both the SourcePro C++ and OpenSSL dynamic libraries.

On Windows, the libraries you link to are named the same as the static versions, libeay32.lib and ssleay32.lib. However, the dynamic libraries are much smaller than their static equivalents because they simply point to the main OpenSSL DLL library that contains the actual code. Be careful to point to the dynamic versions of these libraries.

On UNIX platforms, the names of the dynamic libraries are libcrypto.so and libssl.so (or whatever extension your platform uses for shared objects).
