Hello all. Does anyone one know if any methods/utilities exist to detect if the crypto++ package is installed on a particular system? The reason that I ask is because I am looking at incorporating the crypto++ package into an Open Source Unix/Linux based project that I am working on. This Open Source project makes use of the GNU Autotools, i.e. Autoconf, Automake, Libtool, et al., which in turn means that any potential future users of my project should be able to configure, build, and install it (assuming that the packages/libraries upon which it depends are correctly installed) by issuing the following command from the Unix/Linux command line ;
> configure && make && make install. The trouble is, I don't know of any ways that currently exist, to get my configure script to detect if the crypto++ package is installed on a system. I have searched through the Autoconf archives (located at http://autoconf-archive.cryp.to/) and on Google, but it appears that no one has written anything that does what I need to do. Therefore I decided to write my own Autoconf macro to detect if the crypto++ package is installed on a system. It is based to a large extent on the Autoconf macro which detects if the Boost C++ libraries are installed on a system. Hence, I was wondering if this macro would be useful to the wider crypto++ community and if I should upload it to the Autoconf archive, or does something like this already exist and I am just not aware of it? Furthermore, I have also written some files which allow the crypto++ package to be packaged up as a GNU Autotools project. This means that the crypto++ package can also be configured, built, and installed on Unix/Linux systems using the 3-part command that I listed above. So far however, I have only tested it on my ix86/Linux machine. I haven't tested it on my sparc/Solaris machine or my HP-UX machine as yet. I am wondering if these files would also be useful to the wider crypto++ community, and if so, what I should do with them? Thanks for any help and have a great day. - Craig Sanders --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the "Crypto++ Users" Google Group.
