I have a project where I need to create a secure http server in C/C++ on Linux and I've chosen to use openssl, however, when I try to include the applinker.c from their github I see a lot of errors, mostly because the file seems to be written for Windows.I would like to know if there is an alternative for Linux or how should I deal with this.
Here is the applinker.c code:

And here is a little snippet I prepared for testing the connection:

return errno;
}
bzero (&server, sizeof (server));
bzero (&from, sizeof (from));

And I compile it like this: g++ withssl.cpp libssl.a libcrypto.a -lssl -lcrypto -o server.bin
