I just checkout the whole boost sandbox directory and notice the md5 library. Does this library can already be used ? Does this library need to be build or just header only library ? If it needs to be build, how I do that ?
1. Don't start a new message by replying to an existing one. Threading mail- or news-readers will group this message with its "original," although they're really unrelated. 2. The MD5 stuff is some code I just whipped up (I'm improving on it as we speak!) to be part of a Boost.CRC successor. It currently does calculate (hopefully correct) MD5 results, so it's usable if you want. There's a more extensive library with MD5, SHA-1, etc. called "crypto" by Kevin Sopp. Look at <http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ ticket/1777> for more details. 3. The MD5-Sandbox library does have a mandatory source file ("md5.cpp"). You probably wouldn't want me to dump that much code into a header file, and therefore into every one of your files. Since it's non-template code, I can let the optimizer work on it once. 4. On my setup, the project file has 6 targets: Boost.Test, Boost.Serialization, my md5.cpp, my md5basic.cpp example, my md5check.cpp example, and my unit tests. The first three are set up as static libraries, the latter three are command-line executables that link to the libraries as needed. For your own work, just include md5.cpp somewhere in your project/make-file, either with all of your source code directly or in a separate library target. -- Daryle Walker Mac, Internet, and Video Game Junkie darylew AT hotmail DOT com
