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.

QCA is a library that provides an easy API for a range of crypographic
|
||||||
|
features, including SSL/TLS, X.509 certificates, SASL, OpenPGP, smartcards,
|
||||||
|
and much more.

In order for QCA to be of much use, you'll want to install some plugins.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
QCA was originally created to support the security needs of the
|
||||||
|
Psi XMPP/Jabber client project ( http://psi-im.org/ ).

Building from a Source package
|
Have fun,
|

See the 'INSTALL' file.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Building from CVS/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.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
When you execute that script, you should see something like the following:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
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.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You will also need to build appropriate plugins to get support for
|
|
||||||
many of the QCA features.
