rschm2> Compiled as:
rschm2> gcc test.c -I/usr/local/openssl/include/openssl/ -o test -lcrypto -

rschm2> 6. I am able to properly include <openssl/mycipher.h> in my test.c

rschm2>
rschm2> However, as soon as I make a call to my cipher in test.c I get a

rschm2>
rschm2> It seems that the header file I have in the openssl/include folder

rschm2> I feel like I’m missing a step here…
rschm2>
rschm2> Any help is much appreciated!
On way is to, as already mentioned, edit util/libcrypto.num. The
other is to edit util/mkdef.pl and then run 'make update'. In
mkdef.pl, you'll find a bunch of lines like this:
$crypto.="include/openssl/whatever.h"
Simply add a line like that for mycipher.h.
(note: mkdef.pl might be a bit picky sometimes)
Cheers,
Richard
