Is Linux considered to be the same as (or similar enough to) Unix w.r.t. the building instructions?  I'm reading the INSTALL file and it doesn't mention Linux (nor are there templates for, etc.).

Also, once I figure out the build issues, how can I statically link the ssl libraries into my app?  (That way we don't require our customers to build and install OpenSSL 1.1.1 pon their RHEL 7 hosts.)  Are there any gotchas to doing this?  E.g., our app also uses the curl library, which I believe uses the default openssl on the host.

Thanks.
