Steve:

Thanks for your response.!

1) Will there be an issue if we change the names from ssleay32.lib -> ssl.lib 
and libeayfips32.lib -> crypto.lib . I remember reading on some forms that 
changing the names of the library which are generated by  fips build does cause 
issue. Is this true..?

2) Also while building fips, does it support buiding binaries with debug, 
non-debug, single thread and mutitreaded like how openssl does..? or will there 
be any issues. I could not find this in the user guide docs. If there is 
another reference please point to that.

Thanks,
JA

Yes in 1.1.2 we had to use a Unix like build environment under Windows in
order to have the same build procedure on all platforms.

This is no longer the case and VC++ can be used throughout.

Note that you can also use a recent 0.9.8 snapshot as the FIPS changes have
now been merged into 0.9.8.

Well it is a test version and not validated at present, but yes they are
correct.
