Re: Presence of libcrypto



Each version of Mac OS X has had *some* version of OpenSSL's libcrypto, but the version might change in major releases. OpenSSL is notorious for binary incompatibility, so it's something you should be wary of. If you're looking to use the same binary across a wide range of releases, you might want to look into using the Security framework.

Hi,

I'm building an application which links against libcrypto. Is this library always installed with the OS? Or, might I need to tell users how to get hold of it for themselves? (I've seen from the list archives that different OS versions use different openssl versions, but it wasn't entirely clear to me whether the openssl libraries are always present on a particular OS version).

Cheers,

Edric.
