How to Include OpenSSL in a Qt project

Question

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

I was working on Win 7 (32) with Qt5.5, and non of these answers worked for me.
So I just want to share a solution that finally worked:

1. I have OpenSSL installed in C:\OpenSSL-Win32
2. In c:\OpenSSL-Win32\MinGW there are two library files:
libeay32.a & ssleay32.a
3. I've made a copy of each of them an renamed the extensions:
libeay32.a -> libeay32.lib & ssleay32.a -> ssleay32.lib
4. I linked libraries in my .pro file this way:
LIBS += -LC:/OpenSSL-Win32/lib/MinGW -llibeay32
LIBS += -LC:/OpenSSL-Win32/lib/MinGW -lssleay32
INCLUDEPATH += C:/OpenSSL-Win32/include
5. I copied 3 .dll files from C:\OpenSSL-Win32:
(libeay32.dll, libssl32.dll, ssleay32.dll)
to my build/debug folder:
(build-XXXXX-Desktop_Qt_5_5_1_MSVC2012_32bit-Debug/debug)

I hope this will help.
