That's funny. I only got a message containing 'I'. Hm... :-S Anyway, +1 for Thomas' answer. Did it a bit different myself one time to prevent lots of GetProcAddress blues: find out which calls/functionality you need, write a 'wrapper' DLL offering just that functionality (using your own interface): *THAT* DLL just loads the openssl DLLs as usual, but itself it can be 'dynamically' loaded on demand and you'll only need to do the GetProcAddress() thing on your interface (wrapper) functions.
Might be easier (less work) in total than going the direct route GetProcAddress()ing functions in OpenSSL itself. Ger On Wed, Sep 10, 2008 at 8:36 AM, Thomas J.
