I got a problem of linking an OpenSSL library into an existing project.
Where I do get it wrong?

Below are the steps I have followed.

I have downloaded the SSL library, configured and installed it. It gets installed in /usr/local/ssl.

2) I have copied libcrypto.a and libssl.a from /usr/local/ssl/lib into my project, something like /mnt/linux/bla/bla/lib.

3) Then I edit the make file and added path of libssl libcrpto there. The path added is one that is in project like /mnt/linux/bla /bla

3) make

4) build project via slick edit

When it builds I get a long error chain, like

../lib/libssl.a(t1_enc.o) :In function 't1sl_steup_key_block: undefined ref

Now, I guess copying .a files into project could be problem. Is there is any alternative for that or should I use ln -s to link .a files form /usr/local/openssl/lib into my project library folder? Below is the error.

    Have you tried using the libssl and libcrypto already installed in your /usr/lib directory (assuming you’ve installed the dev packages for both)? Once that compiles and runs without error using the default install, you can build your new libssl/libcrypto(?) from source, install to usr/local, and rebuild using the usr/local versions of the libraries.
