on first sight, maybe it could be a name clash of two symbols appearing in
both libraries. unfortunately you didn't give us the error message you
received, but that could be something like 'duplicate symbol'.
i propose you check for symbols appearing in both libraries and rename
them in yours (rather than in the ssl library).
on linux (in bash syntax) i'd use the follow code to find the duplicated
symbols from liba.a and libb.a:
a="`nm liba.a`"
for i in `nm -p libb.a | grep "^........ . " | cut -c12- | sort -u`
do
echo "$a" | grep " $i\$"
done
but keep in mind that libraries can contain undefined (U) and local
symbols (lowercase letter) which may exists in several libraries which are
linked together.
