This directory includes a library for calling MIRACL from Python. Most notably, this
includes a couple implementations of fast multiexponentiation algorithms; see
src/pymiracl/multiexp.c.
To actually call this library from python, use the MiraclEC object defined in
the python/pymiracl module.
On debian-ish systems, you'll probably need the following:
apt-get install build-essential gcc automake pkg-config libtool libtool-bin
Other package managers should have similar requirements: you'll need a modern C compiler (I've tested with gcc 4, 5, 6, and 7), automake, pkg-config, and libtool.
You will also need python (I've tested 2.x and 3.x) and the CFFI package to use the Python code. It also works with PyPy (I've tested 5.x).
(If you can't figure out what packages you need, please contact me!)
Next, to build the software:
./autogen.sh
./configure
make -j4 # for example
