Problem with Miracl Library (Shamus Softwares)

[Stefan Pendl]

Did you follow the advice of the users manual, which is a separate download?

To assist with the configuration process, a file config.c is provided. When compiled
and run on the target processor it automatically generates a mirdef.h file and gives
general advice on configuration. It also generates a miracl.lst file with a list of MIRACL
modules to be included in the associated library build. Experimentation with this
program is strongly encouraged. When compiling this program DO NOT use any
compiler optimization.

I tried to compile it, but it never compiles

[Stefan Pendl]

Create an empty "Win32 Console Application (EXE)" project.
Copy config.c into the project folder.
Select "Project => Add files to project" and select config.c
Select "Project => Project options"
Select the Compiler tab
Set Optimizations to None
Hit OK
Build the project and ignore the warning about unused variables
Run the created EXE file and follow the instructions

Now you have build a custom mirdef.tst file, which would be your mirdef.h file.
The miracl.lst file would be used to compile your custom miracl.lib.

Those functions exist in ntdll.dll

ntdll-1.def

Code: [Select]

LIBRARY NTDLL.DLL
EXPORTS
_alldiv
_allmul
_allrem
_allshl
_atoi64
_aulldiv
_aulldvrm
polib.exe /DEF:ntdll-1.def /OUT:ntdll-1.lib /MACHINE :X86

try that library with it.

Did exactly as directed in the above post.
I replaced by old mirdef.h file with the newly created one.
I also placed the copied the miracl.lst to the same folder .

But I still get same errors.

Now ?

*edit*

@timovjl : How do I import a dll functions in C ?

I can do it in Delphi, but dunno how to do it in C

In this case make that library first to project folder.
Then add that import library to project.

From menu Project -> Project options ... -> Linker tab
add to Library and object files:

But this means, my exe wont run without that .dll file .
Thats annoying.
Any work around to it ?

Don't copy that ntdll.dll.
That import library ntdll-1.lib is needed only when linking that program.

[KKR_WE_RULE]

I've added that polib thing, but I am not quite sure, what to do next
 To be frank, I am bit confused

[TimoVJL]

- copy ntdll-1.lib to project folder
- add ntdll-1.lib to project linker options
  From menu Project -> Project options... -> Linker tab add to Library and object files:

Alright.. All fixed

Hello!
In this library there are two types ECn and Big. As can be established between them to convert?
I have tried:

Code: [Select]

ECn x;
Big y;
y = (Big) x;
x = (ECn) y;Is NOT running

In the archive  big.cpp, big.h, ecn.cpp, ecn.h and  manual.doc.

[AlexN]

In the archive  big.cpp, big.h, ecn.cpp, ecn.h and  manual.doc.

The attached file are C++ source code - Pelles C is "only" a C compiler.

Sorry, I did not quite understand in English. What do you mean "Pelles C "? Complete library is "MIRACL" from the site http://www.shamus.ie/index.php?page=Downloads

[Stefan Pendl]

Files ending in .CPP are C++ source files, which are not compatible with ANSI C.

In rare cases, they are ANSI C file and can be used by Pelles C.

There is a big difference between C and C++.
