 Wiki pages are available for some platforms with specific build instructions. The pages include Android, ARM, iOS, MSBuild and Solaris. Solaris users should visit the wiki for important information on compiling the library with different versions of SunCC and options, and information on improving library performance and features.

 

-Crypto++ does not depend upon other tools or libraries. It does not use Autotools, does not use CMake, and does not use Boost. If you use an alternate build system, like Autotools or CMake, then see the warning below about CXXFLAGS and lack of -DNDEBUG. CMake is available in Master as a matter of convenience, but its not officially supported.

-There is a partially complete CmakeList.txt available on the wiki at http://www.cryptopp.com/wiki/CMake. It is not recommended for use because it is not in a good state. If you have CMake expertise and can work some problems, then please see the wiki page for tasks related to CMake.

+Crypto++ does not depend upon other tools or libraries. The library only needs GNU Make 3.80 on Unix & liux; or Visual Studio 2010 and above build tools on Windows. The library does not use Autotools, does not use CMake, and does not use Boost.

 

+Autotools and CMake projects are not officially supported. The build systems take too much time and effort. Unofficial projects are available at https://github.com/noloader/cryptopp-autotools and https://github.com/noloader/cryptopp-cmake. The projects provide a central location to support Autotools and CMake. Collaborators for Autotools and CMake are welcomed.
