[openssl-users] Building an application with OpenSSL and FIPS support.

[Matthew Heimlich]

I recompiled with dynamic libraries and after linking to them the program runs without issue. I'll keep trying to hunt down the issues with the static libs. Thanks for the help.

Thanks,

Can you give more details of the steps you are using to link your application?

If you're linking to the OpenSSL shared libraries then you don't need to use
fipsld at all. I'd suggest you try that as a first step and see if your
application works.
