where OpenSSL does not know how to build shared libraries the "no-shared"
option will be forced and only static libraries will be created.
+ Shared libraries are named a little differently on different platforms.
+ One way or another, they all have the major OpenSSL version number as
+ part of the file name, i.e. for OpenSSL 1.1.x, 1.1 is somehow part of
+ the name.
+
+ On most POSIXly platforms, shared libraries are named libcrypto.so.1.1
+ and libssl.so.1.1.
+
+ on Cygwin, shared libraries are named cygcrypto-1.1.dll and cygssl-1.1.dll
+ with import libraries libcrypto.dll.a and libssl.dll.a.
+
+ On Windows build with MSVC or using MingW, shared libraries are named
+ libcrypto-1_1.dll and libssl-1_1.dll for 32-bit Windows, libcrypto-1_1-x64.dll
+ and libssl-1_1-x64.dll for 64-bit x86_64 Windows, and libcrypto-1_1-ia64.dll
+ and libssl-1_1-ia64.dll for IA64 Windows. With MSVC, the import libraries
+ are named libcrypto.lib and libssl.lib, while with MingW, they are named
+ libcrypto.dll.a and libddl.dll.a.
+
+ On VMS, shareable images (VMS speak for shared libraries) are named
+ ossl$libcrypto0101_shr.exe and ossl$libssl0101_shr.exe. However, when
+ OpenSSL is specifically built for 32-bit pointers, the shareable images
+ are named ossl$libcrypto0101_shr32.exe and ossl$libssl0101_shr32.exe
+ instead, and when built for 64-bit pointers, they are named
+ ossl$libcrypto0101_shr64.exe and ossl$libssl0101_shr64.exe.
