OpenSSL
Your app requires OpenSSL to access all services with Windows, Linux, and Android because this API makes network requests over https
. macOS and iOS make use of secure transport which should already be available on those platforms. OpenSSL is not delivered with the Qt Framework. For more information, see the Qt documentation about adding SSL support to your Qt application and the Qt SSL Classes and Qt 5.12.4 Released with support for OpenSSL 1.1.1. Verify that the version of OpenSSL you deploy is supported by your Qt version.
You can obtain OpenSSL from http://www.openssl.org/, or from https://github.com/openssl/openssl: different branches in the GitHub repository correspond to different versions of OpenSSL. Make sure that the OpenSSL libraries are available in the Qt environment when building Qt (that is, the paths to the OpenSSL include
and lib
folders). The exact setup required will depend on your system configuration but may include the general guidance below:
-
On Windows, you may need to copy
libcrypto-1
and_1-x64.dll libssl-1
to the_1-x64.dll bin
folder of your Qt kit. -
For Android, refer to documentation from The Qt Group on Adding Open SSL.
-
On Linux, you may need to copy
libcrypto.so
andlibssl.so
to the bin folder of your Qt kit. Alternatively, set theLD
environment variable to a folder that contains the needed libraries._LIBRARY _PATH
