HELP linking library in DLL project

Hi there I have a DLL project in VS08 and it references some code from lib32eay.dll(openssl). When I build the dLL it works fine on my machine since I have openssl installed. However my clients dont have openssl installed so they will get error running my app as it references the openssl dll. How do I build a DLL project so it can include all the needed stuff so I dont need to worry about clients not having some missing 3rd party libraries etc.??

One option which would not require lib32eay.dll to be present at all is to build it as a static library (.lib) instead of a shared library (.dll). Then you would link your own DLL against the static library, and clients will only have to worry about linking to your DLL.

You should statically link openssl inside your project. Use the statically linkable .lib files in your openssl lib folder and your problems will be gone
