Compiled libcurl and OpenSSL separately, is it the same as compiling libcurl with OpenSSL?

So, I have compiled the following:

libcurl: x86/debug, x86/release, x64/debug, x64/release

OpenSSL: x86/debug, x86/release, x64/debug, x64/release

Now, I have setup visual studio for all those configs with both libcurl and OpenSSL included.

I have seen people mention compiling libcurl with OpenSSL. Is it the same as what I did?

BTW, if I run this:

#define CURL_STATICLIB
#include <stdio.h>
#include <curl/curl.h>
#include <iostream>

int main(void)
{
    curl_version_info_data* vinfo = curl_version_info(CURLVERSION_NOW);
    if (vinfo->features & CURL_VERSION_SSL)
        std::cout << "yes" << std::endl;
    else
        std::cout << "no" << std::endl;
    return 0;
}

Output:

yes

Does this mean my setup is good, if I want to use libcurl with SSL support?

Also, if order matters, I compiled libcurl first and then OpenSSL.

You shouldn't need OpenSSL at all when building libcurl on Windows.

libcurl by default uses Schannel (WinCNG, Windows native crypto) when built on Windows.

If CURL_VERSION_SSL is reporting true then SSL support is enabled correctly.
