1 Check the CC and CFLAGS lines in the makefile | |
2 | |
3 If your C library does not support the times(3) function, change the | |
4 #define TIMES to | |
5 #undef TIMES in speed.c | |
6 If it does, check the HZ value for the times(3) function. | |
7 If your system does not define CLK_TCK it will be assumed to | |
8 be 100.0. | |
9 | |
10 If possible use gcc v 2.7.? | |
11 Turn on the maximum optimising (normally '-O3 -fomit-frame-pointer' for gcc) | |
12 In recent times, some system compilers give better performace. | |
13 | |
14 type 'make' | |
15 | |
16 run './destest' to check things are ok. | |
17 run './rpw' to check the tty code for reading passwords works. | |
18 run './speed' to see how fast those optimisations make the library run :-) | |
19 run './des_opts' to determin the best compile time options. | |
20 | |
21 The output from des_opts should be put in the makefile options and des_enc.c | |
22 should be rebuilt. For 64 bit computers, do not use the DES_PTR option. | |
23 For the DEC Alpha, edit des.h and change DES_LONG to 'unsigned int' | |
24 and then you can use the 'DES_PTR' option. | |
25 | |
26 The file options.txt has the options listed for best speed on quite a | |
27 few systems. Look and the options (UNROLL, PTR, RISC2 etc) and then | |
28 turn on the relevant option in the Makefile. | |
29 | |
30 There are some special Makefile targets that make life easier. | |
31 make cc - standard cc build | |
32 make gcc - standard gcc build | |
33 make x86-elf - x86 assembler (elf), linux-elf. | |
34 make x86-out - x86 assembler (a.out), FreeBSD | |
35 make x86-solaris- x86 assembler | |
36 make x86-bsdi - x86 assembler (a.out with primative assembler). | |
37 | |
38 If at all possible use the assembler (for Windows NT/95, use | |
39 asm/win32.obj to link with). The x86 assembler is very very fast. | |
40 | |
41 A make install will by default install | |
42 libdes.a in /usr/local/lib/libdes.a | |
43 des in /usr/local/bin/des | |
44 des_crypt.man in /usr/local/man/man3/des_crypt.3 | |
45 des.man in /usr/local/man/man1/des.1 | |
46 des.h in /usr/include/des.h | |
47 | |
48 des(1) should be compatible with sunOS's but I have been unable to | |
49 test it. | |
50 | |
51 These routines should compile on MSDOS, most 32bit and 64bit version | |
52 of Unix (BSD and SYSV) and VMS, without modification. | |
53 The only problems should be #include files that are in the wrong places. | |
54 | |
55 These routines can be compiled under MSDOS. | |
56 I have successfully encrypted files using des(1) under MSDOS and then | |
57 decrypted the files on a SparcStation. | |
58 I have been able to compile and test the routines with | |
59 Microsoft C v 5.1 and Turbo C v 2.0. | |
60 The code in this library is in no way optimised for the 16bit | |
61 operation of MSDOS. | |
62 | |
63 When building for glibc, ignore all of the above and just unpack into | |
64 glibc-1.??/des and then gmake as per normal. | |
65 | |
66 As a final note on performace. Certain CPUs like sparcs and Alpha often give | |
67 a %10 speed difference depending on the link order. It is rather anoying | |
68 when one program reports 'x' DES encrypts a second and another reports | |
69 'x*0.9' the speed. | |
