Shedskin cannot find -lcrypto

[Righteousness]

Using python 2.7.4, shedskin 0.9.3, OpenSSL installed, Windows 8 64bit.

I get an error when trying to make an extended library or executable that contains the hashlib module (specifically hashlib.md5)

"ld.exe: cannot find -lcrypto

collect2: returned 1 exit status

make *** [test] Error 1 "

I've searched my computer and can't find any file called lcrypto and google didn't turn up many results other than OpenSSL. Ideas?

hello,

thanks for asking. please note that hashlib is not officially supported. I guess you took the hashlib files from examples/lib?

to get hashlib to work under windows, you probably need to find a precompiled 64-bit libcrypto dll, or compile it yourself (there seem to be quite a few pages with instructions on how to do this).

if you are compiling code for your own personal use, you may want to consider using (ubuntu) linux. it should work after installing libssl-dev ("sudo apt-get install libssl-dev").

thanks again,

mark.

I think it's worth noting that a 32-bit Python can be installed on a
64-bit Windows. In such a situation, I believe compiled extensions
have to be built as 32-bit for use with Python.
