Building

Building the Java components is as simple as doing

$ mvn clean install
$ pushd modules/server
$ mvn package appassembler:assemble
$ popd

Or using the shell/batch script tools/build-all[.cmd], which does exactly this.

Building the native components

There are several prerequisites:

• standard GNU build utilities (package build-essential on Debian)
• recent GCC (must support C++11)
• GMP (can be installed through the package manager on most Linux distributions, the package is called libgmp-dev on Debian-based systems)
• javah (part of the JDK)

Building flint

Just follow the standard Linux building procedure, but don't forget to specify the --reentrant flag when configuring the library:

$ mkdir /tmp/flint; cd /tmp/flint
$ wget http://flintlib.org/flint-2.3.tar.gz
$ tar xzf flint-2.3.tar.gz
$ cd flint-2.3
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --reentrant
$ make
$ sudo make install

Building the CryptoCast native components

First you need to build the Java components as described above. Then you can build the C++ components:

$ cd native
$ make headers all

The libraries will be placed into native/lib. Now you can use the Java option -Djava.library.path=/path/to/cryptocast/native/lib if you want to start a program that makes use of these libraries. The starter scripts bin/server and bin/benchmark already specifiy this flag.

Running

Running the server (will use the native components if possible):

$ bin/server

on Windows:

$ bin\server.bat

Deploying the client app

$ pushd modules/client
$ mvn android:deploy
$ popd
