Dr Henson,

Thanks so much for your response.   Perhaps some clarification is in order.  
When you state "static libraries" are you referring to libeay32 being 
statically linked with the c runtime libraries?  ...or do you mean my 
application statically linking in the openssl libraries?

Thanks,
Lester

If you can it is far easier to link against the DLLs created by the FIPS 
capable OpenSSL. Then you can forget all about fipslink.pl and just link as you 
normally would.

If you have to link against the static libraries then you have to use 
fipslink.pl to embed the appropriate signature. There are examples in the 
nt.mak makefile which uses it all the time to created static executables.
