This is pretty much well off-topic here (just so you know for the future).

However, it is not clear from your context what you want. Do you have a
hashing library that includes and implementation of MD5, and your code
cannot find that header (or library) so it can compile (or link)?

Or are you assuming that your compiler tool chain has such a library
available to you?

I suggest asking on one of the newsgroups appropriate for your
development system.

Firstly md5.h is not a part of the ISO C standard which is what this
group prefers to discuss. Secondly I assume that either the SDK or a
third party library is providing the MD5 routines. First read closely
the documentation for your compiler or library. It may be that md5.h
may be included in another file or may be under a different name.
Failing this, do a filesystem search for md5.h.

If the header is missing and you're *sure* that it should exist, then
the only reasonable alternative is that your installation of the
compiler or C library is corrupt.

As they're so fond of saying in the Windows world: Do a reinstall and a
reboot.

Make that...

- a reboot
- an uninstall
- a reboot
- a reinstall
- a reboot

....and, just to be safe...

- another reboot

Probably, you want for md5 questions.

I guess that you need to link to your crypto package (if -- indeed -- you
have installed one), by defining the path for the header files and
libraries.
Most crypto packages will have an md5 implementation (e.g. libcrypt)

Look at the prerequisites for the package you are trying to build.

Your question is related to the C-FAQ's:

10.11: I seem to be missing the system header file <sgtty.h>.
Can someone send me a copy?

A: Standard headers exist in part so that definitions appropriate
to your compiler, operating system, and processor can be
supplied. You cannot just pick up a copy of someone else's
header file and expect it to work, unless that person is using
exactly the same environment. Ask your compiler vendor why the
file was not provided (or to send a replacement copy).
