Thanks for including the full messages. Unfortunately there are no
explicit hints in there what the problem may be, so I guess that
the linker simply is not satisfied with the OpenSSL library files.

That's a good question, I don't know the answer because I have never
used OpenSSL on Windows Mobile, but you should investigate this further.

I think that explains why the linker is not satisfied; those library
files are not interchangeable.

I believe that Windows Mobile is incompatible with Win32 API-wise, but
far more importantly the Win32 libraries will haven been compiled to x86
machine code and that does not execute on the ARM processor in the
Windows Mobile device. I expect that the linker recognizes these
mismatches automatically and thus has no usable OpenSSL library for
the target platform. I'm disappointed that there is no error message
from VS or the linker about it, but oh well, you found the problem.

You have to ask the OpenSSL project about that or search online, I
don't think anyone here is developing for Windows Mobile. Personally
I would probably try to build also the OpenSSL libraries myself.
