As per 0.9.8 the above limitation is eliminated for .DLLs. OpenSSL -.DLLs compiled with some specific run-time option [we recommend the +.DLLs compiled with some specific run-time option [we insist on the default /MD] can be deployed with application compiled with different option or even different compiler. But there is a catch! Instead of re-compiling OpenSSL toolkit, as you would have to with prior versions, you have to compile small C snippet with compiler and/or options of your choice. The snippet gets installed as <install-root>/include/openssl/applink.c and should be either added to -your project or simply #include-d in one [and only one] of your source -files. Failure to do either manifests itself as fatal "no -OPENSSL_Applink" error. +your application project or simply #include-d in one [and only one] +of your application source files.
