make check fails in testrsa on x86_64 alpine linux

Natanael Copa — Mon, 28 Aug 2017 22:15:00 -0000

make check fails in testrsa with Alpine Linux which uses musl libc. It looks like it is fortify that catches an overlapping memcpy which leads to undefined behavior:

Core was generated by `/home/ncopa/aports/main/beecrypt/src/beecrypt-4.2.1/tests/.libs/lt-testrsa'.
Program terminated with signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.

mpmul and mpsqr can't cope with zero-length numbers

Daniel Glöckner — Fri, 14 Dec 2012 10:00:58 -0000

They lead to crashes if you try f.ex. to verify a RSA signature consisting just of 0x00 bytes converted to mpnumber by mpnsetbin.

There might be more functions apart from mpmul and mpsqr suffering from this problem.

How to build a beecrypt.dll in Windows?

Anonymous — Sat, 28 May 2011 21:56:54 -0000

I've been running into some difficulties trying to build beecrypt for Windows. Maybe the biggest problem has to do with these style struct definitions:

const hashFunction sha384 = {
.name = "SHA-384",
.paramsize = sizeof(sha384Param),
.blocksize = 128,
.digestsize = 48,
.reset = (hashFunctionReset) sha384Reset,
.update = (hashFunctionUpdate) sha384Update,
.digest = (hashFunctionDigest) sha384Digest
};

So far I haven't found a way to get VS 2010 to compile those.

I'm not sure if this means I need to compile using my Cygwin setup, my mingw setup, or something else.

linking against BeeCrypt c library on Snow Leopard

Anonymous — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 12:04:05 -0000

Hi, I am using BeeCrypt C library on Mac OS and linux, I have a problem with linking against it on Snow Leopard this is the error I get:

...
ld: warning: in /usr/local/lib/libbeecrypt.dylib, file is not of required architecture
Undefined symbols:
"_sha1Digest", referenced from:

BUILD FAILED (exit value 2, total time: 1s)

for beecrypt-4.2.1

and this is the gcc version used: i686-apple-darwin10-gcc-4.2.1

How can this be fixed, there were no errors on compiling beecrypt and installing it on snow leopard.
Thanks,

Cosmin

This is with gcc-4.1.1, OBJECT_MODE=64 and AIX "as" NOT "gas". Is this related to the BUGS-file entry: "* PowerPC 64-bit assembler symbols aren't defined according to LSB 1.3."? And if so, is there a way to resolve this? Sorry, i'm no assembler wizard ;-)

Wrong PYTHONPATH in python/test/Makefile.am

Sandro Bonazzola — Thu, 15 Jun 2006 20:32:44 -0000

Python uses `:' as path separator.
