NOTE: as of version 4.81 the CM program has been much improved. It is now up 
to 100 times faster than the original. See comments in cm.cpp

A precompiled Windows executable is available from 
ftp://ftp.compapp.dcu.ie/pub/crypto/cm.exe

To build the CM application, you must compile and link the modules 
together, and with the MIRACL library.

So for Borland C++

bcc32 cm.cpp poly.cpp flpoly.cpp complex.cpp floating.cpp big.cpp zzn.cpp 
ecn.cpp miracl.lib

On UNIX using g++, something like

g++ -I. -c poly.cpp
g++ -I. -c flpoly.cpp
g++ -I. -c complex.cpp
g++ -I. -c floating.cpp

g++ -I. cm.cpp poly.o flpoly.o complex.o floating.o big.o zzn.o ecn.o
miracl.a /usr/lib/libm.a -o cm

should work


For best performance, use a KCM build of MIRACL, with MR_KCM defined in 
mirdef.h to be a power of 2, for example 8.


For example on a PC use this mirdef.h file

/*
 *   MIRACL compiler/hardware definitions - mirdef.h
 *   Copyright (c) 1988-2002 Shamus Software Ltd.
 */

#define MR_LITTLE_ENDIAN
#define MIRACL 32
#define mr_utype int
#define MR_IBITS 32
#define MR_LBITS 32
#define mr_unsign32 unsigned int
#define mr_dltype __int64
#define mr_unsign64 unsigned __int64
#define MR_FLASH 52
#define MAXBASE ((mr_small)1<<(MIRACL-1))
#define MR_KCM 16
#define MR_BITSINCHAR 8


and compile and run the mex utility

mex 16 ms86 mrkcm

This creates mrkcm.c


IMPORTANT!

If you have a Pentium 4 processor (which has SSE2 extensions), use

mex 16 sse2 mrkcm 

to create mrkcm.c This will be much faster.


Remember to include the module mrkcm.obj in the library - using MS C 
execute
