FIPS Static Link to Dynamic Library

2008-01-23 Thread Jacob Barrett
Yes, I know it sounds crazy. Our product has historically linked everything statically into one giant executable and also one medium size shared library for customer linking. What I need to do is statically link in the FIPS capable libraries into a dynamic library, in this case on a .so (on windows

FIPS on Linux

2008-01-22 Thread Jacob Barrett
Linking the FIPS capable libraries to our code is proving to be a real pain in the butt.
