compile errors

[hazybluedot]

After I install hashlib++ as a static library, when I run make I get a bunch of error, starting with

RSAcrypt.cpp: In member function ‘void RSAcrypt::genKeys()’:
RSAcrypt.cpp:179:17: error: ‘generatePrime’ was not declared in this scope  
   generatePrime(x);
RSAcrypt.cpp:182:25: error: cannot convert ‘std::string {aka std::basic_string<char>}’ to ‘char*’ for argument ‘1’ to ‘char* __gmpz_get_str(char*, int, mpz_srcptr)’
  mpz_get_str(R, 10, m);

can you confirm that your Makefile works on your own system? What distribution are you running and what version of g++ are you running?

in that case it would be a good idea to work on the RSA stuff on a separate branch:

$ git checkout -b rsa_support
$ git checkout master
$ # clean up master branch to remove broken RSA support

Then the master branch will be clean and should compile and you can continue working towards RSA support on rsa_support (use git checkout to switch between branches). If your group member makes changes to the RSA code, then merge them into the rsa_support branch first and test them. If all is well, then merge rsa_support into master

I've just spoken with him and he's working on it now. Thanks for the guidance!

Yes, my apologies on the compilation errors. I have been unable to compile the hashlib++ on my VM, and including the files separately still produces errors. Currently I have uploaded a file that does not generate compile errors for me.

I am still having problems compiling:

• hashlib.h not found

  When I installed hashlib++ using the instructions the header files are installed to /usr/include/hashlib++ so the include line should be

  #include <hashlib++/hashlibpp.h>
  

  unless you require a non-standard install of hashlib++, in which case that should be well documented

• numerous invalid conversion from 'const char*' to 'char' errors

  be mindful of what is declared const and what isn't. Always use const for values that should not change.
