Hi, i’m trying to integrate SQLCipher into linphone-core for Android (linphone-core is a library not an Android app).  
I tried to compile the sqlcipher for Android statically, in the jni/Android.mk replaced:  
include (BUILD\_SHARED\_LIBRARY) with include (BUILD\_STATIC\_LIBRARY)

Compiled sqlcipher for android, was successful, the ‘.a’ files were on ‘obj’ directory

But when I compile the linphone-core (armeabi) with the libsqlcipher replacing the libsqlite3 it gives me errors linking:  
[1%] Linking CXX shared library [liblinphone-armeabi.so](http://liblinphone-armeabi.so)  
/opt/android\_studio/android-database-sqlcipher/jni/…/external/sqlcipher/sqlite3.c:18296: error: undefined reference to ‘RAND\_add’  
/opt/android\_studio/android-database-sqlcipher/jni/…/external/sqlcipher/sqlite3.c:18460: error: undefined reference to ‘EVP\_sha1’  
/opt/android\_studio/android-database-sqlcipher/jni/…/external/sqlcipher/sqlite3.c:18460: error: undefined reference to ‘EVP\_MD\_size’  
/opt/android\_studio/android-database-sqlcipher/jni/…/external/sqlcipher/sqlite3.c:18456: error: undefined reference  
(…)

My guess is that it didn’t statically link the libcrypto.a to libsqlcipher.a

So my question is how can I statically compile libsqlcipher for the various android archs with libcrypto statically linked ?  
Am I missing something here regarding compiling sqlcipher statically ?

Thanks for any help.
