Compiling static Crypto++

Crypto++, also called "cryptopp" is crucial if you want to have a fast and static encryption library supporting all new cryptographic standards.

Downloading CryptoPP

Download the latest CryptoPP zip (8.9.0) and extract all files.

Compiling CryptoPP

  1. Open cryptest.sln
  2. Select cryptest Project as startup project.
  3. Select Release as build target and compile.

After a successful compilation, you should have the library file at x64\Output\Release\cryptlib.lib. To create a include folder, copy over all header files into a separate include folder.
