aws-iot-devide-sdk build in visual studio linker errors

[TejaswiniiB]

Hi, I want aws-iot-devide-sdk for windows. I downloaded this repo from release branch, have placed certificates in mentioned folder, ran cmake as mentioned in README. Build was successful. Now I have a visual studio project ALL_BUILD.vcxproj inside builds dir which I created, I need to build it and get executables for examples provided. Am I right? But after I open ALL_BUILD.vcxproj with visual studio and build, I am getting many errors like :

Error LNK2019 unresolved external symbol _CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data referenced in function "public: __thiscall awsiotsdk::network::OpenSSLInitializer::~OpenSSLInitializer(void)" (??1OpenSSLInitializer@network@awsiotsdk@@QAE@XZ) pub-sub-sample aws-iot-device-sdk-cpp-release\aws-iot-device-sdk-cpp-release\builds\samples\PubSub\OpenSSLConnection.obj 1

Can anyone please tell me how to overcome this and get successful build?
Thankyou :)

Hi TejawiniiB,

As I know, you are unable to compile the iot-sdk directly by visual studio directly.
Instead, please refer to the following link
https://github.com/aws/aws-iot-device-sdk-cpp/blob/master/Platform.md

It mentioned that we need install some utility first
OpenSSL, cMake....

After settle down these utility successfully. Enter the \build folder of source code you download from github. (Should be \aws-iot-device-sdk-cpp\build something...)

Then type cmake -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" -Dgtest_force_shared_crt=TRUE ../.
This will start the source code build..

Enjoy and Good luck!
