After many internet searches i am posting this question. I am trying to compile existing c++ code which involves openssl libraries. I was able to include openssl header files successfully in visual studio 2013. And also i am running the application on Windows 8.1 platform. During compilation, I am facing the below error:
LNK1104: cannot open file "libssl.obj"
I need to add libssl , libcrypto and ws2_32 in the linker properties. Somehow it is throwing the above error even though i include the libssl.a and libcrypto.a as well as ssleay32.lib and libeay32.lib !!!!!!!!!!
[Note] The same codebase compiles fine in MinGW by giving
g++ ***source-files***** -lssl -lcrypto -lpthread -lws2_32
Thanks for your valuable inputs.
