compile programs with libcrypto or libssl.

it can easily be packaged, can use
Note on shared libraries
------------------------
- Shared library is currently an experimental feature. The only reason to

For some systems, the OpenSSL Configure script knows what is needed to
build shared libraries for libcrypto and libssl. On these systems,
rm -f $F; ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
echo $F '->' $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F
done
- make -f Makefile.org clean
+ make -f Makefile.in clean
OPENSSL_SOURCE is an environment variable that contains the absolute (this
is important!) path to the OpenSSL source tree.
