I have fixed the 'native' build issue. We will add cross-compilation support and update the library README. I was expecting a similar issue and I was against creating a separate library to have an unnecessary dependency. This library was soley meant for DPDK so there was no technical reason for making it a separate library. I don't believe the external libraries are really open source way of doing the stuff. I think the argument to keep the external library was - Crypto export license issues. - Assembly code is diffcult to understand and therefore maintain it. > Thanks. > > > -- > David Marchand >
