Here's my two cents worth, anyway.
The linker is complaining because it's finding two copies of the C
runtime library.
MSVCRT.lib is the standard C, dynamic link, release mode version;
LIBCD.lib is the standard C, static link, single-threaded, debug mode
version.
I think this kind of message appears when you are trying to link the
default 'static library' OpenSSL builds, which default to linking
against MSVCRT.lib, to a generic VC6 project, which defaults to linking
against LIBCD.lib.
A quick and dirty solution is to change your application type to
"Multithreaded DLL" (release or debug as applicable) under the code
generation tab in your project settings.
A better solution is to replace the '/MD' flag in your OpenSSL static
library makefile with '/MT', which would cause it to link OpenSSL with
LIBCMT.lib, making it independent of the MSVCRT shared object. You would
then also need to update your application linkage to reflect this.
