Antelope Keygen

This program generates public and private keypair for Antelope IO

Compile

You will need libantelope and cmake 3.15 or later to compile this project.

Qt 5.9.0 or later is required for the graphical program.

Linux/MacOS

NOTE: Only Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04 and Fedoora 36 is officially supported.

The project should compile fine on most versions/distros but it is only tested and distributed for those distros/versions by Sw/eden.

Dependencies

Linux

Ubuntu:

First you need to have a compiler. this can be installed with apt.

$ apt-get install gcc g++

CMake

If your package manager don't provide a sufficiently new version of cmake, you can install it with these commands:

Ubuntu 16.04/18.04 - kitware ppa:

$ wget -O - https://apt.kitware.com/keys/kitware-archive-latest.asc 2>/dev/null | sudo apt-key add -
$ sudo apt-add-repository "deb https://apt.kitware.com/ubuntu/ `lsb_release -cs` main"
$ sudo apt-get install cmake

shell script:

$ wget -O cmake.sh https://github.com/Kitware/CMake/releases/download/v3.15.5/cmake-3.15.5-Linux-x86_64.sh && sudo sh ./cmake.sh --prefix=/usr/local --skip-license

Other methods is documanted at https://cmake.org/download

Qt (only for gui program)

You will need to install qt >= 5.9.0

On ubuntu you can do this via apt

$ apt-get install qt5-default

For other distributions, download the official qt-installer. It is recommended to install the latest stable version.

MacOS

NOTE: Support for MacOS is still experimental and may or may not work as expected.

You must have a compiler installed. This project is known to build with Xcode 11.0 but other versions should work.

You need to have cmake installed also, this can be done with this brew command:

$ brew install cmake

If you need a newer version of cmake, you can download the official .dmg file: cmake-3.15.7-Darwin-x86_64.dmg. or see https://cmake.org/download for other versions.

libantelope needs to be compiled and installed from source. Go here

Qt (only for gui program)

This can be installed with brew.

$ brew install qt

Build

Run ./build.sh to trigger cmake.

If you dont want to use the script. you can build with cmake using the following commands:

$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake .. && make

MacOS: You may need to point cmake to openssl by passing the argument -D OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1 if openssl is not under /usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1 you need to find the correct path.

Windows

Dependencies

Download and install cmake version 3.15 or newer from cmake.org

You will also need a compiler. Build Tools for Visual Studio 2019 (Selecting C++ during installation) is recommended.

Qt (only for gui program)

Download the official qt-installer and follow the steps. It is recommended to install the latest stable version.

Build.

you need to set OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR to the directory where you unpacked openssl-1.1.1e-dev.zip append x86 if you are on 32-bit system, x64 for 64-bit.

NOTE: cmake uses forward slash / for path even for windows. so make sure you use that when setting OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR

For example:

C:\repo> cmake -D OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR="C:/path/to/openssl-1.1/x86" -B build
C:\repo> cmake --build build --config Release

Qt

If you are compiling the gui program. you will need to point cmake to the location qt where installed. this can be done by the CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH variable:

C:\repo> cmake -D CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="C:/path/to/qt/msvc2017_64"

Compile options

These compile options are available:

Cmake	build.sh	Description
-DCOMPONENT_CLI=OFF	--no-cli	Do not build cli program
-DCOMPONENT_GUI=ON	--gui	Build gui program (Qt5)
-DUSE_THREADS=OFF	--disable-threads	Disable thread support
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=value	-t value	Type of build
-DFORCE_ANSI=ON	--force-ansi	Force ANSI console colors even on windows

For more details about options run ./build.sh -l or mkdir build && cmake build -LA

libantelope

To speed up the build process, you can install libantelope

Ubuntu

You can use Sw/eden's APT Repository like this:

$ sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
$ curl https://apt.eossweden.org/key 2> /dev/null | sudo apt-key add -
$ sudo apt-add-repository -y 'deb [arch=amd64] https://apt.eossweden.org/main `lsb_release -cs` stable'
$ sudo apt-get install libantelope-dev

or manually via .deb file from github

$ wget <url>
$ sudo apt install ./libantelope-dev-<version>.deb

Other

Consult libantelope's github

Install

After the project has been compiled. run sudo ./install.sh or the following code if you dont want to use that:

# inside the build directory
$ sudo make install

Windows:

It is possible to run cmake --install . from build directory. Your DOS shell needs administrator privileges.

Uninstall

Run sudo ./uninstall.sh or remove the files listed in build/install_manifest.txt manually.
