For example I have following simple program > DLLs aren't ever "merged" into an EXE. They are loaded at runtime. That's what "Dynamic Link" means. If you want the library code statically linked into your EXE, use the static linking libraries. If you want to use DLLs, you must either distribute the DLLs or require the user system(s) to get them another way. This has been true of Windows apps since forever, and it is my understanding that common installer tools like MSI and InstallShield handle such 'related' DLLs, but I don't know details because I use static linking. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
