Notice: Development on libstorj is currently on pause during our v3 rearchitecture. Please see https://github.com/storj/storj for ongoing v3 development.

libstorj

Asynchronous multi-platform C library and CLI for encrypted file transfer on the Storj network.

Feature Highlights

• Asynchronous I/O with concurrent peer-to-peer network requests for shards
• Erasure encoding with reed solomon for data durability
• Robust handling of shard transfers by selecting alternative sources
• File integrity and authenticity verified with HMAC-SHA512
• File encryption with AES-256-CTR
• File name and bucket name encryption with AES-256-GCM
• Proxy support with SOCKS5, SOCKS4, SOCKS4a
• Asynchronous progress updates in bytes per file
• Transfers can be cleanly canceled per file
• Seed based file encryption key for portability between devices
• Reference implementation for SIP5 file standard

Cross Compiling Dependencies from Ubuntu 16.04

These notes are for cross compiling for various systems from a Debian based linux distribution, specifically Ubuntu 16.04. The mingw toolchain is used to build for Windows and clang and cctools for macOS builds.

Windows

Supported hosts include:

• x86_64-w64-mingw32
• i686-w64-mingw32

Dependencies:

apt-get install gcc-mingw-w64-x86-64 gcc-mingw-w64-i686 g++-mingw-w64-i686 g++-mingw-w64-x86-64

cd ./depends
make HOST="x86_64-w64-mingw32"

Configure command for libstorj-c:

PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR="$(pwd)/depends/build/x86_64-w64-mingw32/lib/pkgconfig" CFLAGS="-DCURL_STATICLIB -I$(pwd)/depends/build/x86_64-w64-mingw32/include -L$(pwd)/depends/build/x86_64-w64-mingw32/lib -static" ./configure --with-pic --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --enable-static --disable-shared --prefix=$(pwd)/depends/build/x86_64-w64-mingw32

Windows Shared Library (DLL)

Supported hosts include:

• x86_64-w64-mingw32

Dependencies:

apt-get install gcc-mingw-w64-x86-64 g++-mingw-w64-x86-64

cd ./depends
make HOST="x86_64-w64-mingw32" BUILD_DLL=1

Configure command for libstorj-c:

PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR="$(pwd)/depends/build/x86_64-w64-mingw32/lib/pkgconfig" CFLAGS="-I$(pwd)/depends/build/x86_64-w64-mingw32/include -L$(pwd)/depends/build/x86_64-w64-mingw32/lib -DSTORJDLL" ./configure --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --prefix=$(pwd)/depends/build/x86_64-w64-mingw32

ARM GNU/Linux

Supported hosts include:

• arm-linux-gnueabihf
• aarch64-linux-gnu

Many ARM based distributions are based on Debian Jessie that includes libc6@2.19. It may be necessary to cross compile using Ubuntu 14.04. This can be accomplished using chroot (see the documentation at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot).

Once chroot is setup, you'll likely need to install a few additional tools (in addition to the main dependencies listed above):

apt-get install git bsdmainutils

And then install ARM toolchain dependencies:

apt-get install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf g++-arm-linux-gnueabihf gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu g++-aarch64-linux-gnu

cd ./depends
make HOST="arm-linux-gnueabihf"

Configure command for libstorj-c:

PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR="$(pwd)/depends/build/arm-linux-gnueabihf/lib/pkgconfig" CFLAGS="-I$(pwd)/depends/build/arm-linux-gnueabihf/include -L$(pwd)/depends/build/arm-linux-gnueabihf/lib -static -std=gnu99" ./configure --with-pic --host=arm-linux-gnueabihf --enable-static --disable-shared --prefix=$(pwd)/depends/build/arm-linux-gnueabihf

64-bit GNU/Linux

Supported hosts include:

• x86_64-pc-linux-gnu

cd ./depends
make HOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu"

Configure command for libstorj-c:

PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR="$(pwd)/depends/build/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/lib/pkgconfig" CFLAGS="-I$(pwd)/depends/build/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/include -L$(pwd)/depends/build/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/lib -static" ./configure --host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --with-pic --enable-static --disable-shared --prefix=$(pwd)/depends/build/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu

Note: --enable-shared will also work

32-bit GNU/linux

Supported hosts include:

• i686-pc-linux-gnu

Dependencies:

apt-get install gcc-multilib g++-multilib

cd ./depends
make HOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"

Configure command for libstorj-c:

PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR="$(pwd)/depends/build/i686-pc-linux-gnu/lib/pkgconfig" CFLAGS="-I$(pwd)/depends/build/i686-pc-linux-gnu/include -L$(pwd)/depends/build/i686-pc-linux-gnu/lib -static -m32" LDFLAGS="-m32" ./configure --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --with-pic --enable-static --disable-shared --prefix=$(pwd)/depends/build/i686-pc-linux-gnu

Note: --enable-shared will also work

Mac OSX

The Apple SDK MacOSX10.11.sdk is needed and is available in Xcode_7.3.1.dmg (requires a developer account). You can extract the sdk using ./depends/extract-osx-sdk.sh:

apt-get install p7zip-full sleuthkit
./depends/extract-osx-sdk.sh
rm -rf 5.hfs MacOSX10.11.sdk

You may also need to symlink /System/Library/Frameworks/Security.framework to /path/to/MacOSX10.11.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/Security.framework to have darwinssl be enabled during the build.

A build of clang+llvm is downloaded for Ubuntu 16.04 and extracted, a port of cctools compiled with gcc and installed alongside, and the dependencies are build using that toolchain.

cd ./depends
make HOST="x86_64-apple-darwin11" DARWIN_SDK_PATH="/path/to/MacOSX10.11.sdk"

Configure command for libstorj-c:

export PATH="$(pwd)/depends/toolchain/build/bin:${PATH}" && PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR="$(pwd)/depends/build/x86_64-apple-darwin11/lib/pkgconfig" CC=clang CXX=clang++ CFLAGS="-target x86_64-apple-darwin11 -isysroot $(pwd)/depends/MacOSX10.11.sdk -mmacosx-version-min=10.8 -mlinker-version=253.9 -pipe -I$(pwd)/depends/build/x86_64-apple-darwin11/include" LDFLAGS="-L$(pwd)/depends/toolchain/build/lib -L$(pwd)/depends/MacOSX10.11.sdk/usr/lib -L$(pwd)/depends/build/x86_64-apple-darwin11/lib -Wl,-syslibroot $(pwd)/depends/MacOSX10.11.sdk" ./configure --with-pic --host="x86_64-apple-darwin11" --enable-static --disable-shared --prefix=$(pwd)/depends/build/x86_64-apple-darwin11
