Error when run "make" command

[sofiawong]

Hi, I face this issue. I appreciate if anyone can help me resolve. I have already install opaque using pip but it raises an error that they could not find libsodium which explains why I following additional installation instructions in libopaque repo! Thank you!

[stef]

you need to download and unpack latest libsodium-*-mingw.tar.gz and unpack it. 'https://download.libsodium.org/libsodium/releases/' and then set -I to where the includes are and -L to where the dlls are.

[sofiawong]

Hi, thanks for the reply. May I know what is the command for -l and -L? @stef

[sofiawong]

I have already installed libsodium. It resides in /usr/include and I make a symbolic link ln -s /usr/include/sodium.h sodium.h to libopaque/src directory

but it is still not working as it mentions "common.h:5:10: fatal error: sodium.h: No such file or directory"

[stef]

i'm confused. in your screenshot it says your CC is mingw, and then you say you have sodium.h already in /usr/include. for what arch are you trying to compile?

[stef]

anyway i updated the makefile, if you drop mingw64 sodium into win/libsodium-win64 then make mingw64 should work for your. see the commit https://github.com/stef/libopaque/commit/39b6a00c6f0098cc7d1c5b29f0fe8a1bf7429f7f

@stef , "sodium.h" not found is solved but another error popped up.

[stef]

you don't really need the munit tests, do you?

[sofiawong]

Yea, I wanted to ignore it. But, they still can't find this library which I already pip installed it. @stef

[stef]

on what operating system are you? why are you using mingw?

[sofiawong]

I running my code in python docker which is linux. @stef The lib complained they couldnt find mingw so I had to install it

[stef]

then why do you use mingw as a compiler suite?

[stef]

mingw compiles for windows

[sofiawong]

the error said they couldnt find mingw, so I installed it. @stef

[stef]

oooooooh. i just committed a fixed makefile where mingw is not the default target. you don't need mingw. and i hope with this fixed makefile you have no troubles anymore.

[sofiawong]

@stef , thanks for the fix.

I have no issues running make command but the python opaque library still isnt found.

[stef]

maybe you need to ldconfig?

[stef]

also did you do make install? i recommend

sudo PREFIX=/usr make  install
sudo ldconfig

[sofiawong]

@stef , in addition, I had to install pysodium. Thanks for the help. Have a good week ahead!

[sofiawong]

@stef , sorry to bother again. May I know what is the encoding used for the byte string for python? So I can decode properly and return as a string As I am using graphql, it does not support robust output return.

[stef]

it's just binary bytes. i recommend just base64-ing them.
