Warnings

Many websites today use the HTTP Secure protocol, which means that you will need SSL in order to communicate with them. If your project needs to access such a webiste (for example GitHub), you will need to carefully read the following information in order to ensure that QSimpleUpdater works with those websites (both in your machine and in the final users' machine).

This section is extremely important for any developer wishing to deploy his or her applications under the Windows platform, because the application will depend on the libraries provided by QSimpleUpdater.

Linux

Make sure that you have installed the following libraries in your system:

• lssl
• lcrypto

Mac OS X

The libraries required by QSimpleUpdater are the same as Linux, however, these libraries are installed by default in most Mac OS X installations.

Windows

QSimpleUpdater makes use of the OpenSSL-Win32 project, make sure that have it installed and that the project knows where to find them (the default location is C:/OpenSSL-Win32) and that you deploy the following libraries with your compiled project:

• libeay32.dll
• ssleay32.dll
