I used it as a basic check that +my data-only modules for NSS worked, and I'm including it here as +a first sample test program. + + +This program uses GNU autoconf: run ./configure --help for info. +In addition to the standard options, the configure script accepts +the following: + + --with-nspr[=path] specify location of NSPR + --with-nss-dist[=path] specify path to NSS dist directory + --with-nss-hdrs[=path] or, specify path to installed NSS headers + --with-rsa-hdrs[=path] if not using NSS, specify path to RSA headers + --disable-debug default is enabled + +This program uses NSPR; you may specify the path to your NSPR +installation by using the "--with-nspr" option. The specified +directory should be the one containing "include" and "lib." +If this option is not given, the default is the usual prefix +directories; see ./configure --help for more info. + +This program requires either the pkcs11*.h files from RSA, or +the NSS equivalents. To specify their location, you must +specify one of --with-nss-dist, --with-nss-hdrs, or --with-rsa-hdrs. + +If you have an NSS build tree, specify --with-nss-dist and provide +the path to the mozilla/dist/*.OBJ directory. (If you got this +package by checking it out from mozilla, it should be about six +directories up, once you've built NSS.) + +Alternatively, if you have an NSS installation (including "private" +files, e.g. "ck.h") you may point directly to the directory containing +the headers with --with-nss-hdrs. + +If you would rather use the RSA-provided header files, or your own +versions of them, specify their location with --with-rsa-hdrs. + +The flag --disable-debug doesn't really do much here other than +exclude the CVS_ID info from the binary. + + +To run the program, specify the name of the .so (or your platform's +equivalent) containing the module to be tested, e.g.: + + ./trivial ../../../../../../dist/*.OBJ/lib/libnssckbi.so + + +If you're using NSS, and using our experimental "installer's +arguments" fields in CK_C_INITIALIZE_ARGS, you can specify an +"installer argument" with the -i flag: + + ./trivial -i ~/.netscape/certs.db [...]/libnssckdb.so + + +Share and enjoy. |
