Can't build libcUrl with OpenSSL

I'm using mingw. I downloaded OpenSSl and zlib from http://curl.haxx.se/download.html links for Windows. Change paths to openSSl and Zlib in all makefile32.m32. Try to build with mingw32-make mingw32-ssl-zlib But when I got errors, I don't understand why :(

Erorrs are

c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.5.2/../../../../mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lssl32
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
mingw32-make[1]: *** [libcurl.dll] Error 1
mingw32-make[1]: Leaving directory `c:/curl/lib'
mingw32-make: *** [mingw32-ssl] Error 2

I changed makefile a bit more. added write paths to the openSSl libs. But I've got there two libs: libeay32.a and ssleay32.a. And option in makefile is curl_LDADD += -L$(OPENSSL_PATH)\lib\MinGW -leay32 -lssl32. When I change -lssl32 to -lssleay32, the same error is - cannot find -lssleay32

OpenSSL is not consistent with library naming, depending on how the libraries were compiled. It bit me once too. Make sure you have the files

libeay.a
libssl.a
libz.a

Or names the makefile expects. The lib prefix is very important here, otherwise your linker won't find it.
