Installing QCA
|
||||
--------------
|
||||
|
||||
QCA requires Qt 4.2 or greater.
|
||||
|
||||
For Unix/Linux/Mac:
|

./configure

Notes
|
||||
-----
|
||||
- On unix, use --prefix=$PWD to build in-place
|
||||
- On windows, run configwin without arguments to see possible build modes
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Building from SVN
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
First, install the 'qconf' program, at least version 1.3. You can download
|
||||
the source here:
|
||||
http://delta.affinix.com/qconf/
|
||||
|
||||
Then, go into the QCA source tree and type 'qconf'. You should now have a
|
||||
configure script to execute, just like from a normal source package.

About QCA
|
||||
---------
|
||||
This library provides an easy API for a range of cryptographic
|
||||
features, including SSL/TLS, X.509 certificates, SASL, symmetric
|
||||
ciphers, public key ciphers, hashes and much more.
|
||||
For installation or compiling instructions, see the INSTALL file.
|
||||
|
||||
Functionality is supplied via plugins. This is useful for avoiding
|
||||
dependence on a particular crypto library and makes upgrading easier,
|
||||
as there is no need to recompile your application when adding or
|
||||
upgrading a crypto plugin. Also, by pushing crypto functionality into
|
||||
plugins, your application is free of legal issues, such as export
|
||||
regulation.
|
||||
This library is licensed under the Lesser GNU General Public License. See
|
||||
the COPYING file for more information.

When you execute that script, you should see something like the following:
|

In order for QCA to be of much use, you'll want to install some plugins.
|
||||
|
||||
Configuring Qt Cryptographic Architecture (QCA) ...
|
||||
Verifying Qt 4 build environment ... ok
|
||||
Checking for certstore ... using bundled
|
||||
|
||||
Good, your configure finished. Now run /usr/bin/gmake.
|
||||
|
||||
If so, you can just run (g)make to build QCA. If not, have a look at
|
||||
conf.log to see what might have gone wrong.
|
||||
QCA was originally created to support the security needs of the
|
||||
Psi XMPP/Jabber client project ( http://psi-im.org/ ).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
You will also need to build appropriate plugins to get support for
|
||||
many of the QCA features.

||||
Have fun,
