Using Crypto++ with clang


I'm attempting to get the following Crypto++ (C++ Class Library of Cryptographic Schemes) example to work on a iMac using clang++.

Example

SHA256 hash;

byte digest[ SHA256::DIGESTSIZE ];

hash.CalculateDigest( digest, (byte*) &value[ 0 ], value.size( ) );

HexEncoder encoder;

string result = String::empty;

encoder.Attach( new StringSink( result ) );

encoder.Put( digest, sizeof( digest ) );

encoder.MessageEnd( );

Build command

ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
make: *** [all] Error 2

I'm using the latest development version of Crypto++ 5.6.2 as the previous version 5.6.1 fails to build with clang++. However i'm encountering build issues stating that i have missing symbols for x86_64 architecture.

Any hints would be greatly appreciated.


Solution

  • This issue was relating to Crypto++ not having been ported over to llvm-clang++. The supported compilers are listed on Platforms; supported compilers for previous releases are listed on Compiling.

    My solution was to instead use GCrypt.

    Sorry I can't supply anymore details on the cause of the failure.
