secp256k1 Native Libraries

This repository creates standard builds of the secp256k1 native library. It packages the built libraries into operating system-specific JARs (with POMs). This allows secp256k1-java (or other interested Java projects) to depend on these JARs using the normal Maven dependency resolution process.

The following dependencies are required (plus Java and Maven):

• autotools-dev
• autoconf
• build-essentials
• gcc (Linux) or clang (OS X) for building the shared library

Installation

This project is mainly intended to be built by Travis CI, as a Linux operating system is required to build the Linux library, and an OS X operating system is needed to build the OS X library. Nevertheless it is possible to execute the Linux or OS X component of the build locally.

Once the platform dependencies are met:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/rchain/secp256k1-native.git
cd secp256k1-native
mvn clean install

An appropriate Maven profile will automatically be used for Linux or OS X.
