I have selected openssl while selecting components during the installing of QT Creator.
How to include openssl libraries in cmakelist.txt as i am unable to detect it ?
DO I NEED TO UPDATE THE ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES OF THE SYSTEM ?
Please help me out . -
Hi,
Do you want to use OpenSSL manually in your project ?

On a side note, writing phrases all uppercased like that is considered shouting and rude in written language.

At build time: If you intend to use only the Qt classes for SSL connections then you should not need to directly reference the OpenSSL libraries in your project file at all.At run time:
- During Development. Set your IDE, or equivalent, to include the location of the OpenSSL DLL files in the PATH passed to your executable.
- Deployed. The OpenSSL DLLs would need to be found either beside the application executable or in a location on the system's PATH.

@ChrisW67 Thanks for your answer . I have referred to the document
https://wiki.qt.io/Compiling_OpenSSL_with_MinGW but while building project in windows environment . I am getting error that some libraries are not found . Which are of openssl .
Also another approach which i followed is directly installing openssl using it's installer ,it worked but i want to compile it and make it work .Help me out please.
