Cannot find libeay32.lib and ssleay32.lib files when setting up openssl on windows x64

Question

So I am trying to use openssl inside Visual Studio for some encryption project. These are the steps I did until now:

1. Download Win64 OpenSSL v1.1.1b from here.

2. Set Additional Include Directories to point to the oppenssl/include directory (from instalation)

3. Set Additional Dependencies inside Linker to: libcrypto.lib
4. Set Additional Library Directories inside Linker to point to the openssl/lib directory (from instalation)

Now when I build I still get lots of undefined references errors.

From what I read I still need to include the libeay32.lib and ssleay32.lib, but I didn't find them anywhere in my openssl instalation directory.

I followed this links for help:

How to use OpenSSL with Visual Studio

How to include openssl in Visual Studio Expres 2012 Windows 7 x64

Aparently my only issue now is that I am missing this files. Anyone know where can I find them ?

Solution

"How to" out of date. Since version 1.1.0 OpenSSL have changed their library names from: libeay32.dll -> libcrypto.dll ssleay32.dll -> libssl.dll

https://github.com/arvidn/libtorrent/issues/1931

I see now:

• MD: Multi-threaded DLL
• MDd: Multi-threaded Debug DLL
• MT: Multi-threaded (static)
• MTd Multi-threaded (static) Debug

That's what I included for testing for Additional Dependencies and still errors :( I am using the .libs files

Do you know which one of those files to use for Win X64 ? I see there are 4 differents one: MD, MDd, MT, MTd
