Including external libraries

I would very really like to include the public Crypto++ library into my NIOS system. Is this possible? Any hints?

I need to deal with BIG integers (2048bit) for RSA and I'm at a loss

Thanks!

    Pretty generic question, however, you could try downloading the software onto your workstation and seeing if it will compile natively under Cygwin (or Linux). Typically these packages have a "configure" script which will auto-setup the build process for you, after which you can run "make". If this works, then you can drag the sources into the Nios II IDE, after setting up a managed software library project.

    I've done this in the past, seemed to work just fine with an MPEG library I was playing around with.

    Sorry to be soooo vague with the answer. Either PM me or post more details on what you're doing.

    Cheers,

    Chris
