Problem compiling c++ program that using MIRACL on ubuntu 14.04

[liorko87]

Hi,

I'm trying to compile a very simple program that using MIRACL but I have a strange problem.

When I'm trying to compile it with cmake, I'm receiving the error: error: ‘mr_large’ does not name a type. cmake file and simple main are attached.

CMakeLists.txt

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.0)
project(OS-PSI)

set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -std=c++11 -maes -O3 -mavx")

include_directories($ENV{HOME}/libscapi/lib/Miracl/include)

find_library(
        LIBMIRACL
        NAMES miracl
        PATHS $ENV{HOME}/libscapi/install/lib/
        NO_DEFAULT_PATH
)

set(SOURCE_FILES main.cpp)
add_executable(OS-PSI ${SOURCE_FILES})

target_link_libraries(OS-PSI ${LIBMIRACL})

main.cpp

#include <iostream>
#include <miracl.h>
#include <mirdef.h>
#include <ecn.h>
#include <big.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    Big big1(12);
    int partyId = atoi(argv[1]);
    return 0;
}

Hello,

What we need to help here is your mirdef.h file.

Typically it needs to define an mr_dltype (as in the supplied mirdef.h32 file for example).

If for example you define MR_NOASM, then the library requires a dltype.

For example: If the underlying type (utype) is 32 bits, then the double length type (dltype) should be 64-bits. Using assembly language it is possible to dispense with the double-length type.

However if for example you declare a 64-bit utype, and define MR_NOASM, then there is a problem. A 128-bit dltype is required, but none is available. Note that GCC on certain 64-bit platforms DOES support a 128-bit integer type.

Hello,

Thank you for your reply.

mirdef.h is attached:

OK. The relevant code in miracl.h is

ifdef mr_dltype

typedef unsigned mr_dltype mr_large;

endif

which defines the type mr_large.

I would suspect that your compiler does not recognise "__int64"

Try "long long" instead, or int64_t. Check your compiler documentation for the signed 64-bit integer type that it supports.

Thanks a lot, that was the solution!
