Implementation of Shamir Secret Sharing for use in Blockchain Commons Software Projects
- If
bc-crypto-baseis not installed, theconfigurestep below will fail.
$ ./configure
$ make check
$ sudo make installThis sequence runs the module's unit tests.
- Link against
libbc-shamir.aandlibbc-crypto-base.a. - Include the umbrella header in your code:
#include <bc-shamir/bc-shamir.h>Before accepting a PR that can affect build or unit tests, make sure the following sequence of commands succeeds:
$ ./configure
$ make distcheck
$ make distcleanmake distcheck builds a distribution tarball, unpacks it, then configures, builds, and runs unit tests from it, then performs an install and uninstall from a non-system directory and makes sure the uninstall leaves it clean. make distclean removes all known byproduct files, and unless you've added files of your own, should leave the directory in a state that could be tarballed for distribution. After a make distclean you'll have to run ./configure again.
