Linker Error while using openssl

Question

I have the openssl folder here:

C:\Dev-Cpp\include\openssl

In dev c++ I gave the following to the linker command line:

-lssl -lcrypto -l<C:\Dev-Cpp\include\openssl>

and the following to when it calls the compiler:

-L<C:\Dev-Cpp\include\openssl>

After compilation the dev c++ shows this error:

cannot find -l<C:\Dev-Cpp\include\openssl> 
ld returned 1 exit status

remove the -l<C:\Dev-Cpp\include\openssl> from you link line command.

-lssl -lcrypto

you have already linked to the openssl library with -lssl -lcrypto

If you want to specify the path where the library are saved. you have to use only

-L<C:\Dev-Cpp\include\openssl>
