In my program I need to use the OpenSSL unit from fpc (packages/openssl)

However my problem is that lNET also include a file named openssl.pas,

not have the
same methods included.
So wheneven I include OpenSSL as a unit in my program it ALWAYS refer to
the one in lNET, presumable because it is a package - how do I avoid this
and
instead use/refer to the fpc one?
As Michael wrote it is not possible without unit renaming because there is
no notion of package in compiler.
The proper solution is to compile lNET package as a library (static
library doesn't supported AFAIK but DLL is ok).
Then write a small wrapper to import some types, classes, and functions
and use DLL with shared memory.
If you're required a really large interface of this package and then large
wrapper to write, you should better decompose your application to compile
some part as DLL with lNET package only.
Thank you for your suggestion - but to be honest I think the easiest way
for me is going to be: Use Lazarus to rename the OpenSSL unit from lnet,
which hopefully renames all reference within the package itself.
But where did you install lnet from in the first place? Just update to the
latest version isn't that hard? I do not know which version you are using,
but if it is a recent one, the rename of the openssl unit is the only change.
;)
Btw: the openssl unit form lnet is exactly the same as the openssl unit in
fpc.
if that is so, then why still distribute it with lnet ?
Michael.
