[CRYPTO] Windows help finding OpenSSL library location

2023-11-01 Thread sebb
I don't currently have ready access to a Windows host, and have so far failed to find the correct setting of jn[ai].library.path required to cause OpenSSL to be loaded rather than the default which seems to be LibreSSL. So if anyone with Windows and OpenSSL 1.1.x can help that would be great! The

I believe it is for cross compilation, owing to the comments in the makefile: # for cross-compilation on Ubuntu, install the g++-mingw-w64-x86-64 package # for cross-compilation on Ubuntu, install the g++-arm-linux-gnueabi package # for cross-compilation on Ubuntu, install the g++-arm-linux-gnuea

Re: [CRYPTO] Which native builds are supported in binary releases?

2023-11-01 Thread Alex Remily
The supported architectures documentation is limited to the discussion on this distribution list. At least, that's my recollection and understanding. I agree that this should be documented at least in the release notes and web site. Users shouldn't need to crack open the jar to figure that out.

[CRYPTO] Which native builds are supported in binary releases?

2023-11-01 Thread sebb
The Crypto makefile includes a lot of different OS and architecture combinations. Not all of these are included in the binary jar. I don't think we need to generate native binaries for all the combinations, but I do think we need to document which ones are included, and note that any others must

Maybe there are cross compilation issues... I don't know for sure. What I do know is that it quite tricky and time consuming to get everything just right when I do a release from multiple machines to get macOS, Linux, and Windows binaries correctly compiled, linked, and packaged up. I hope nothing

[CRYPTO] Why does Makefile use CXX (C++) for linking?

2023-11-01 Thread sebb
Crypto currently only uses .c files, and the Makefile uses CC throughout, except for creating the object output. [This has been the case since the initial release.] Using CXX (C++) for the link does not make sense to me - surely CC can create the object equally well? It would simplify builds (and
