I made a TCP socket program in C++ that uses wsock32 and openssl, but I want to link openssl static.

I have compiled openssl on mingw32 with shared and no-shared but I keep getting the same undefined reference errors.

It builds fine if I link the .a.dll instead of .a but I don't want to use dll's.

Here's how I compile: 

/c/MinGW/bin/mingw32-g++.exe main.cpp -I /c/Mingw-builds/openssl/include -L/c/MinGW/lib -L /c/Mingw-builds/openssl/lib -std=c++11 -lwsock32 -lshlwapi -lws2_32 -lssl -lcrypto -lgdi32

Errors that I get:

C:/Mingw-builds/openssl/lib/libcrypto.a(b_addr.o):b_addr.c:(.text+0xac): undefined reference to `getnameinfo@28'
C:/Mingw-builds/openssl/lib/libcrypto.a(b_addr.o):b_addr.c:(.text+0x6ef): undefined reference to `freeaddrinfo@4'

Nvm got it working by ordering it right: 

/c/MinGW/bin/mingw32-g++.exe main.cpp -o asdf.o -I /c/Mingw-builds/openssl/include -L /c/Mingw-builds/openssl/lib -std=c++11 -lmingw32 -lssl -lcrypto -luser32 -lgdi32 -lws2_32 -lwsock32 -lshlwapi -static-libgcc -static-libstdc++ -shared
