I\'m new to Qt, I\'ve done some Googleing and can\'t find a detailed enough answer.

I need to use OpenSSL in my qmake-based Qt project. How do I go about downloading

Answer 1

From George at Unable to use AES files of OpenSSL in Qt Creator:

If this is on Linux, add the following into your .pro file:

PKGCONFIG += openssl 

It will handle all necessary header paths, compile-linker options and the libraries.

And make sure you have the openssl-devel package installed in your system.
