Frankly it's always been a bit of a pain for me. The default Makefile
doesn't seem to behave quite right.

You can try this:

make build-shared

But then you have to install them by hand because the $(SHARED_LIBS)
variable has no value in the default Makefile so make install doesn't see
them. Alternatively, you can edit the Makefile as follows:

--- Makefile 2002-03-17 20:03:36.000000000 -0500
+++ Makefile.new 2002-08-19 12:44:49.000000000 -0400
@@ -183,7 +183,7 @@
LIBS= libcrypto.a libssl.a
SHARED_CRYPTO=libcrypto$(SHLIB_EXT)
SHARED_SSL=libssl$(SHLIB_EXT)
-SHARED_LIBS=
+SHARED_LIBS=libcrypto$(SHLIB_EXT) libssl$(SHLIB_EXT)
SHARED_LIBS_LINK_EXTS=.so.$(SHLIB_MAJOR) .so

GENERAL= Makefile

and then run:

make clean
make
make install

and it should just work. I think. Haven't tried it recently. :) Let me
know how it goes. And if anybody else out there knows something about
this that I'm missing (which is possible), please speak up. :-]
