How does that work? Why not dynamically load a shared library, where the dynamic linking issues have already been worked out?
I think you have a problem, because whatever technique you're using there won't work for fipscanister.o, which is what you need in order to enable FIPS mode. Statically linking fipscanister.o into an application executable requires the special link-execute-link as done by the fipsld utility, in order to generate the embedded digest. -Steve M. -- Steve Marquess Veridical Systems, Inc. marqu...@veridicalsystems.com ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List openssl-dev@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
