How to use OpenSSL with Visual Studio [closed]

I know it’s old! I faced the problem myself and here’s the solution.

First of all, you should install (normal ordinary installation) openssl. (It’s from here).

Now, after you create a project, I quote:

Make sure the following settings are setup in the project property
pages:

[C/C++ -> General -> Additional Include Directories] value:
OpenSSL’s include directory in your machine (e.g C:\openssl\include)

[Linker -> General -> Additional Library Directories] value: OpenSSL’s
lib directory in your machine (e.g C:\openssl\lib)

[Linker -> Input
-> Additional Dependencies] value: libeay32.lib

Source.
