Add OpenSSL statically linked

[EMStegehuis]

I have build both static and shared Qt with OpenSSL enabled (and available).

Using the --openssl-linked option I expected that the created Dlls in the shared where statically linking against OpenSSL. But the dlls that we create that use QNetworkAccessManager are dependend on libcrypto-1_1-x64.dll and libssl-1_1-x64.dll. I thought those would be statically linked too.

Is this correct? Or am I building wrong.

Hi,

It is answered there indeed. You are linking against a dynamic library so you won't have a static result.
