Description

It would be nice if make check-deps would tell you if Crypto++ isn't properly installed.

This isn't easy to do. The Right Way To Do It is probably the autoconf approach -- create a little C++ file which #include "cryptopp.h", then try to compile it and see if the compile succeeds.

  • Resolution set to fixed
  • Status changed from new to closed

Currently this is fixed by pycryptopp coming with a copy of the Crypto++ that it needs. Closing as fixed. (This issue will re-appear shortly when pycryptopp gains the option of linking against a currently-installed libcryptopp. Alas.)
