Why it's required to ship libcrypto-1_1.dll and libssl-1_1.dll along with application in static linking #12517
Description
Why it's required to ship libcrypto-1_1.dll and libssl-1_1.dll alon with application in static linking
version : OpenSSL 1.1.1
I built openssl static libraires and linked in my application.
When i tried to start the application it's giving error libcrypto-1_1.dll and libssl-1_1.dll missing.
If i linked with static libraries why it's required to ship dll's.
