ld: library not found for -lssl about remail-iphone HOT 6 CLOSED

You probably need to set your baseline SDK to 3.0 instead of 3.1 or similar. 
This worked for me.

Same problem here, already set sdk to 3.0 with no luck.

I believe this is indirectly caused by issue 3
(https://code.google.com/p/remail-iphone/issues/detail?id=3).  Basically your
../mailcore/libetpan/binaries/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/**
directories don't exist.

Fix that this problem goes away also.

Got "ld: library not found for -lssl" issue fixed in my env by reading the 
steps in 
previous posts. 

Here are my steps, compiled from various posts:

/* From Terminal, need some links as workarounds. */
  $cd /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/ 
iPhoneSimulator3.0.sdk/usr/lib
  $sudo ln -s crt1.10.5.o crt1.10.6.o  
  $cd /usr/libexec/gcc
  $sudo ln -s i686-apple-darwin10 i686-apple-darwin9 
  $cd /Users/<myuser>/<mywork> 
  $hg clone https://remail-iphone.googlecode.com/hg/ remail-iphone 
  $cd remail-iphone/ 
  $sh pull_dependencies.sh 

/* From xcode */
  open ReMailIPhone xcode project and build it.

/***** f you encounter "ld: library not found for -lssl" build error in xcode, 
it may be 
because this directory is missing */

  1. Check whether this directory exists in your env.

     $ls 
<mywork>/mailcore/libetpan/binaries/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platfor
m

  2. If it does not, manually copy iPhoneSimulator.platform files in the build to 
mailcore

     $cd /Users/<myuser>/<mywork>/remail-iphone/build-crypto-deps
     $cp -R binaries/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform 
../../mailcore/libetpan/binaries/Developer/Platforms

  3. Rebuild remailiphone project from xcode using iPhoneSimulator3.0 SDK

Hope this will also fix your 'ld: library not found for -lssl' issue.

Worked for me. Thx!

Sounds like this problem is now solved?
