Re: Interesting DLL Hell with SSL

 

Hi Brian,

In fact it looks very strange.. I am just wondering - wouldn't it be easier to link OpenSSL as a static library? It may require a rebuild in the KiCad-Winbuilder, but then you will not have to care about stuff that users keep in Windows directory.

Regards,
Orson

seen this behaviour too, and also concludes that the PATH is ignored in
the search for the library.

Their solution is to copy their DLL and overwrite the one in SysWOW64!
lol. What a mess.

Best Regards,

Brian.
