boost::asio::ssl linking errors in Xcode 4

Question

I have a simple project in Xcode—it doesn't actually do anything yet, just includes boost::asio::ssl:

// main.cpp

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <boost/asio.hpp>
#include <boost/asio/ssl.hpp>

using namespace std ;

int main (int argc, const char * argv [] ) {
    return 0 ;
}

I have it linked with libssl.dylib and libboost_system.dylib, and get this when building:

Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:

ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

Is there some other library I'm missing or something else I've overlooked?

I think you need to link against libcrypto as well -lcrypto

Thanks, linking with libcrypto seems to have done it. For me (Xcode, remember) this meant adding `libcrypto.dylib` to the list of libraries to link against (click on the project in the left sidebar, *Build Phases* tab, *Link Binary With Libraries*); for users building with the command-line tools it would mean adding `-lcrypto` to the command line. – Blacklight Shining Aug 01 '12 at 06:29
