-This should generate libcrypto and libssl in the root of the OpenSSL directory.
+This should generate libcrypto and libssl in the root of the OpenSSL directory. YOU MUST remove the `libssl.so` and `libcrypto.so` files that are generated. They are symlinks to `libssl.so.VER` and `libcrypto.so.VER` which Android does not know how to handle. By removing `libssl.so` and `libcrypto.so` the FindOpenSSL module will find the static libs and use those instead.
 
 If you have been building other components it is possible that the OpenSSL compile will fail based on the values other cross-compilations (tbb, bullet) have set. Ensure that you are in a new terminal window to avoid compilation errors from previously set environment variables.
