There are C and C++ examples on the website, organized on the left side, by topic. e.g.: http://nacl.cr.yp.to/hash.html describes hashing. > There also does not appear to be a mailing list: > https://www.google.com/#q=nacl+library+mailing+list+site:nacl.cr.yp.to. You're not the first person to ask about this. :) Dan recently said on twitter that the boring-crypto list would be most appropriate: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!aboutgroup/boring-crypto > A newbie question (if you have experience with the library): how does > one (1) specify a compiler; and (2) execute the self tests. Executing > `$ CC=gcc; ./do` appears to have hung. I haven't looked into this but it appears the default compiler specified by NaCl is gcc. Have a look at "nacl-20110221/okcompilers/c". Changing options to clang, I can see clang processes in the output of `top`, and clang log entries in "nacl-20110221/build/$host/log". Compiling with clang appears to fail in the same spot for me as gcc, since OpenBSD unfortunately lacks EPROTO. So since you want gcc, the official installation instructions should suffice: wget http://hyperelliptic.org/nacl/nacl-20110221.tar.bz2 bunzip2 < nacl-20110221.tar.bz2 | tar -xf - cd nacl-20110221 ./do > (The `do` script has some `echo` statements, but I have not gotten any > output). You won't get feedback for a while. After beginning the do script, you can tail -f nacl-20110221/build/$host/log to see progress.
