1 Configure libzahl | |
2 ================= | |
3 | |
4 libzahl is configured by editing config.mk. You may choose | |
5 to make a copy of config.mk, and reference the copy with | |
6 CONFIG when running make. For example: | |
7 cp config.mk my-config.mk | |
8 # edit my-config.mk | |
9 make CONFIG=my-config.mk | |
10 | |
11 Unless you are compiling for Linux you may have to add | |
12 -D'FAST_RANDOM_PATHNAME="<path to a non-blocking random number gener… | |
13 (/dev/urandom on Linux) and | |
14 -D'SECURE_RANDOM_PATHNAME="<path to a blocking random number generat… | |
15 (/dev/random on Linux) to CPPFLAGS. | |
16 | |
17 If you are using a C standard library where the higher bits have higher | |
18 entropy in the lower bits in rand(3) (as historically was the case), | |
19 remove -DGOOD_RAND from CPPFLAGS. | |
20 | |
21 If you don't care if your program crashes on failure, you can add | |
22 -DZAHL_UNSAFE to CPPFLAGS. This will give you a marginal performance | |
23 boost. You should also add, preferably, | |
24 #define ZAHL_UNSAFE | |
25 before including <zahl.h> in your program if you are doing this. | |
26 | |
27 If your CPU does not support indirect jumps (computed jumps) you should | |
28 add -DZAHL_ISA_MISSING_INDIRECT_JUMP to CPPFLAGS, and preferably add | |
29 #define ZAHL_ISA_MISSING_INDIRECT_JUMP | |
30 before including <zahl.h> in your program. | |
31 | |
32 libzahl contains some (very little) assembly code. In the event | |
33 that the used instructions are not supported on your machine, please | |
34 report it, and in the meanwhile add -DZAHL_NO_ASM to CPPFLAGS. You | |
35 may also have to do this if you are compiling with a compiler that | |
36 does not support extended inline assembly. You may also have to add | |
37 #define ZAHL_NO_ASM | |
38 to your program before includeing <zahl.h> |
