NetSSL requires OpenSSL release 0.9.8 or later.

Unix

====

Most Unix systems already have OpenSSL preinstalled.

If your system does not have OpenSSL, please get it from

http://www.openssl.org/ or another source. You do not

have to build OpenSSL yourself - a binary distribution

is fine.

If you do build OpenSSl yourself be sure to call

./configure --prefix=/usr --openssldir/usr/openssl

make

make install (with superuser rights)

so that poco works out of the box

Windows

=======

The easiest way to install OpenSSL on Windows is to

use a binary (prebuild) release, for example the

one from Shining Light Productions that comes with

a Windows installer.

1. Download OpenSSL (at least v0.98a) from:

http://www.slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html

2. Install OpenSSL (we assume you install to c:\OpenSSL)

3. Start Visual Studio, go to Tools->Options, under Projects->VC++ Directories

add the following directories:

- Include Files: C:\OpenSSL\include

- Library Files: C:\OpenSSL\lib\VC

4. You are now ready to build NetSSL.
