liboqs integration with libcrypto.a?

[baluduvvuri1]

Hi All,

I understand we can integrate liboqs to use OpenSSL (libcrypto.so) for crypto functionality by setting OQS_USE_OPENSSL to ON during make.

My query is can liboqs be integrated with statically build OpenSSL i.e libcrypto.a?

For .so integration from the document:
https://github.com/open-quantum-safe/liboqs/blob/main/CONFIGURE.md#OQS_USE_OPENSSL
When OQS_USE_OPENSSL is ON, CMake also scans the filesystem to find the minimum version of OpenSSL required by liboqs (which happens to be 1.1.1). The OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR option can be set to aid CMake in its search.

Thank you
