Installation¶
Dependencies¶
libethc requires some external libraries to be installed on the host machine. They are:
gmp >=
6.2.1- The GNU Multiple Precision Arithmetic Library.secp256k1 >=
0.3.1- Optimized C library for EC operations on curve secp256k1.
For computing keccak hashes, The eXtended Keccak Code Package (XKCP) is used (statically linked).
Installed dependencies can be confirmed by running the following command (assuming that the host machine is unix):
pkg-config --cflags --libs gmp libsecp256k1
If the both dependencies are installed properly, pkg-config should print a result similar to this:
-I/opt/homebrew/Cellar/gmp/6.2.1_1/include -I/opt/homebrew/include -L/opt/homebrew/Cellar/gmp/6.2.1_1/lib -L/opt/homebrew/lib -lgmp -lsecp256k1
Dev dependencies:
cmake >=
3.13- Cross-platform build automation tool.
