Unresolved Functions While Working With QSslSocket

Question

I tried to run a simple program that is written with Qt and uses QSslSocket.

I'm running this program on a Ubuntu 12.04 machine with OpenSSL installed.

But I got the following errors:

QSslSocket: cannot call unresolved function SSLv3_client_method
QSslSocket: cannot call unresolved function SSL_CTX_new
QSslSocket: cannot call unresolved function SSL_library_init
QSslSocket: cannot call unresolved function ERR_get_error

How can I fix these errors?

Answer 1

On Windows/MinGW you need to copy these files to your exe directory.

C:\Qt\Tools\mingw492_32\opt\bin\libeay32.dll
C:\Qt\Tools\mingw492_32\opt\bin\ssleay32.dll

Or you can copy them to C:\Qt\Tools\mingw492_32\bin if you want it to work with all your apps. Obviously you need to distribute them with your program.

You actually don't need to add QT += network.
