The cryptlib*.lib *file is the static library, and you create it yourself using the crypto++ source code. The you statically link your own code against this library in order to use the crypto++ features (of course, the other option is to use the DLL).
This tutorial, although oudated, it's very complete: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/16388/Compiling-and-Integrating-Crypto-into-the-Microsof See some discussion about v 5.6.1 at the end of it. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6619042/how-do-i-install-crypto-in-visual-studio-2010-windows-7 Also, the Crypto++ wiki contains many examples. Hope this helps. Walt.
