OK, thanks. I couldn't find licensing information on the crypto library, and was halfway through hand-optimizing the md5 code we currently use when you sent that link. I've finished the hand-optimization and it now computes fast enough for me to use an AS implementation and not worry about ANE or

Also, with Native Extensions, if you use a cross platform C++ framework like Juce, then you can maintain the ANE much easier, just need a windows and mac builders, but can use the same code for both. -Sean Thayne On Tue, Jun 3, 2014 at 12:46 PM, Sean Thayne wrote: > There is a crypto library t

There is a crypto library that is much faster than the built in adobe stuff. http://www.blooddy.by/en/crypto/ They don't include much for documentation, but it is very fast, and pretty easy to get up and running. -Sean Thayne On Tue, Jun 3, 2014 at 12:08 PM, Nicholas Kwiatkowski wrote: > I r

I run mustella directly from my IDE (IntelliJ). I don't have Cygwin installed. MinGW requires no setup. Just unzip a file and away you go. -Nick On Tue, Jun 3, 2014 at 1:55 PM, Alex Harui wrote: > Yes, but GCC on Windows requires MinGW right? Is that less onerous than > Cygwin? In theory

Yes, but GCC on Windows requires MinGW right? Is that less onerous than Cygwin? In theory we should already have Cygwin or some unix shell to run Mustella. -Alex On 6/3/14 8:27 AM, "Nicholas Kwiatkowski" wrote: >Alex, > >I use GCC to make my native extensions. GCC is available on both Mac an

Alex, I use GCC to make my native extensions. GCC is available on both Mac and Windows (and Linux) and is not a heavy requirement to compile. You don't need Visual Studio to compile .DLLs on Windows. http://quetwo.com/2011/10/31/creating-an-windows-air-native-extension-with-eclipse-part-1/ -Nic

As long as the procedure is properly (step by step actions) documented, I don't think the requirement for Cygwin is all that bad, especially given the UX improvement it will give to end users. EdB On Tue, Jun 3, 2014 at 8:18 AM, OmPrakash Muppirala wrote: > On Mon, Jun 2, 2014 at 10:13 PM, A

OK, CrossBridge uses unix tools like gcc and swig. So removing the cygwin requirement will be painful. What is the current sentiment? Require Cygwin or Visual Studio? At least Cygwin is free. In theory other unix shells for Windows will work but CrossBridge doc onl mentions Cygwin. Meanwhile,

Well, I'm new to Native Extensions as well, but it appears you can't create a single extension that works on both OSX and Windows. Folks seem to be using Visual Studio for Windows and Xcode for Mac. That seems like a lot of work and a complicated build environment. The nice thing about the Cross

In theory, all PMC members with Windows computers have Cygwin or some shell script processor in place otherwise they cannot run Mustella. We could create a separate release package like we did for PixelBender, but seriously, how many of you are going to build the installer from sources? I'll look
